Arizona Birth Records

Birth records are some of the most requested for records from the government because these records are the official records of the government in regards to the fact of the birth of the person named in the record. As the official records of the government, birth records like Arizona Birth Records are the best pieces of evidence that one could present in order to prove the fact of the birth of the person named in the record. One may say that the best evidence that one could provide in order to prove the fact of the birth of the person would be by presenting the person in front of the tribunal where his or her identity or fact of birth is being questioned, but it must be remembered that that would only prove the existence of the person and not the birth of said person.

This is because birth is something that attaches upon the person certain rights and responsibilities that would not be available to other persons. Arizona Birth Certificates could be presented to prove the fact that the person is the child of a certain couple, and thus, it would prove that the child would have certain rights and responsibilities that are connected upon that certain couple, such as the right to be an heir of that couple, the right to use their surname, the responsibility to care for them in times of need, and a lot more.

As the official records of the government, Arizona Vital Records are afforded the presumption of regularity such that the contents of the records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. This means that there is no obligation on the part of the party presenting the records from having to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, but take note that the presumption is not absolute and may be overturned through the use of competent evidence to be presented by the party who would claim that the records are false.

A request for copies of the birth records could be done at both the local or county level and the national or state level. At the national level, the procedure for making the request would be to make the request through the mail, and this method would be slow as the office where the request would be sent could not work on the request up until they had received the request for the same as well as all the other requirements. The fact that there are a lot of records at this level would also work against the person making the request because there would be a need to look at all of these records at this level. This is the reason why a request at this level would take anywhere between six to eight weeks to complete.

It is also possible to find copies of birth records online. Birth records are usually kept at online databases as well, and these databases could provide information that would be substantially the same as that which could be found from the official sources, but it must be noted that because these databases are not official sources, any and all information obtained through them could not be used for official purposes.
