The State of California Department of Health Services determined that effective July 1, 2003, there will be two types of certified copies of birth records.
1. The first type is a regular certified copy identical to those issued prior to July 1, 2003.These will be issued only to authorized individuals as defined by California Health andSafety Code Section 103526.
2. The second type is also a regular certified copy; however, it will have a legend acrossthe face with the statement “INFORMATIONAL, NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TOESTABLISH IDENTITY.”
Both of these documents are certified copies of the original document on file with the State of California, and as such are acceptable to Little League International.
However, a third form previously acceptable to Little League is no longer acceptable. Incompliance with the State of California, Department of Health Services, State Registrar, June 27, 2003, certified abstract of birth is no longer acceptable as proof of age in California.
