Colorado Birth Records

The fact of the birth of the person is something that would have effects that would be binding upon the whole world, and that is the reason why birth records like Colorado Birth Records are some of the most requested for records from the government. One can say that the best proof of the fact of the birth of the person would be the fact that the person can appear before the court, but even in instances like this, the court would still ask for some sort of identification from the person, and that identification that the person can prove is supposed to have been issued by the government, but the government would not have issued the particular identification if the person could not prove that he is who he says he is.

Birth certificates like Colorado Birth Certificates are the primary pieces of evidence that one can provide in order to prove that the person is who he says he is. These records could also prove the rights of the person whose name appears on the record relative to the parents of the child, hence, these records are actually being asked for from a person who would claim to be the heir of another person in a probate proceeding, and from a person who would claim to be a guardian in a guardianship proceeding.

As the official records of the government, Colorado Vital Records are given 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 it must be noted that the presumption applies only if the records were obtained from the proper sources, hence, there is an obligation on the part of the party presenting the record to prove that particular fact.

A request for copies of the records in question could be done from a number of offices at both the local or county level and the state or national level. At the national level, the method that would be used for making the request would be to make the same through the mail, and this procedure, accompanied by the fact that there are a lot of records at this level that would have to be checked, means that a request for copies of the records at this level would take longer than a request at the local level, but take note that a request at this level would be more complete as these offices would have copies of records from all over the state and not merely the county.

It is also possible to make the request for copies of the records in question through the use of online databases. These databases could present information that would practically be the same as that which could be found from the official sources, but it must be noted that because they are not official sources, any and all information obtained through these databases could not be used for official purposes.
