What happens if I lose my child’s birth certificate?
If you lose your child’s birth certificate there might not be any negative consequences right away, but there are certain things that you/they will not be able to do without a birth certificate. This includes:
- Applying for a passport
- Registering for school
- Obtaining a driver’s license
- Applying for a marriage license
- Signing up for sports
- Applying for a new copy of your social security card
There are also other reasons you might need this document. If you lose your child’s birth certificate you should immediately start trying to obtain a certified copy of it. If you need help with that, Certified Field Agent, a division of Datafied can do it for you!
