Wyoming Statutes Title 35. Public Health and Safety § 35-1-413. Delayed registration of births

(a) When the birth of a person born in this state has not been registered, a certificate may be filed in accordance with the regulations of vital records services. The certificate shall be registered subject to such evidentiary requirements as vital records services shall prescribe to substantiate the alleged facts of birth. Certificates of birth registered one (1) year or more after the date of occurrence shall be marked “Delayed” and show on their face the date of the delayed registration. A summary statement of the evidence submitted in support of the delayed registration shall be endorsed on the certificate. Evidence affecting delayed certificates should be microfilmed and then returned to the registrant.

(b) When an applicant does not submit the minimum documents required in the regulations for delayed registration, or when the state registrar of vital records finds reason to question the validity or adequacy of the documentary evidence, the state registrar of vital records shall not register the delayed certificate and shall advise the applicant of the reasons for this action. Applications for delayed certificates which have not been completed within one (1) year from the date of application may be dismissed at the discretion of the state registrar. Upon dismissal the state registrar shall advise the applicant of his decision and all documents submitted in support of such registration shall be returned to the applicant.
