Minnesota Birth Records

Birth records like Minnesota Birth Records are some of the most important records in the life of a person as these are the official records of the government in regards to the fact of the birth of the person named in the record, and because that is the case, these are the best pieces of evidence that one could present in order to prove the fact of the birth of the person. It must be remembered that the fact of the birth of the person is different from the fact of the existence of the person because the latter operates merely to attach upon the person rights that all human beings are entitled to, while the former attaches upon the person rights that only that person would enjoy as these are rights specific to him or her by reason of the circumstances of his or her birth.

These rights include the right to use the surname of the parents, the right to be supported by said parents, and the right to someday inherit from said parents. This is the reason why, when someone seeks to enforce these rights, there is first the need to prove that the person is entitled to these rights in the first place, and thus, there is the need to present competent proof of the fact of the entitlement of the person in question through the use of Minnesota Birth Certificates.

These records are the official records of the government in regards to the fact of the birth of the person named in the record, hence, the reason why Minnesota 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 one must note that the presumption of regularity is not applicable if the records were not obtained from the proper sources, hence, while there is no need to prove that the records contain true and accurate information, there is still the need to prove that the records were obtained from the proper sources.

One could make the request for copies of the records from a number of sources, though admittedly, most requests are made at the local level where there are fewer records that would have to be searched and that would usually translate to a faster and more efficient search. Note, however, that the reason why there are fewer records at this level would be because of the fact that local level offices only keep copies of records for births that occurred within their jurisdiction, thus, if the birth happened outside their borders, then the chances are that there would be no copies of the records at their offices.

Online databases and archives are another source of records, but while these databases could provide information that would be substantially the same as that which could be found from the official sources, it must be noted that because they are not official sources, any and all information obtained through them do not enjoy the presumption of regularity.
