1. When a certificate of birth of a person born in this state has not been filed within the time period provided in section 193.085, a certificate of birth may be filed in accordance with regulations of the department and registered subject to such evidentiary requirements as the department shall by regulation prescribe to substantiate the alleged facts of birth.

2. Certificates of birth registered one year or more after the date of birth shall be made on forms prescribed and furnished by the state registrar, marked “Delayed”, and shall show on their face the date of the delayed registration.

3. A summary statement of the evidence submitted in support of the delayed registration shall be endorsed on the certificate.

4. When an applicant does not submit the minimum documentation required in the regulations for delayed registration or when the state registrar has reasonable cause to question the validity or adequacy of the applicant's sworn statement or the documentary evidence, and if the deficiencies are not corrected, the state registrar shall not register the delayed certificate of birth and shall advise the applicant of the reasons for this action, and shall further advise the applicant of his or her right of appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction.
