What is a delayed birth certificate?
Delayed birth certificates are common for individuals born prior to the keeping of birth records. These were often issued so that the individual could obtain another form of identification, such as a passport. They were also issued to help verify age for an individual filing for Social Security or other retirement benefits. The individual needed to provide multiple sources of information to document and corroborate his or her birth date.
It should be noted that a delayed birth certificate is, in fact, a secondary source. A genealogist should obtain copies of the records listed on the delayed certificate as primary sources.
