Birth records like Canada Birth Records are some of the most requested for records from the government for the reason that these are the official records of the government in regards to the birth of the person named in the record, and because that is the case, these records are the best evidence that one could present in order to prove the fact of the birth of the person named in the record, and to prove the fact that said person has been given certain rights that would be binding upon the whole world no matter where the person in question may go.One of the information that would be recorded in the birth record would be the legitimacy of the person named in the record. A person who is born inside a valid marriage would be someone who would be considered to be a legitimate child, and a legitimate child would have rights that would be preferred to those of an illegitimate child. The most oft-cited example would be in cases of succession where the legitimate child is entitled to more than what the illegitimate child is entitled in the estate of their parents, and the legitimate child is entitled to use the surname of the father which would be his official name.In this regard, it is important to note that because these records are the official records of the government in regards to the birth of the person, these records are afforded the presumption of regularity such that the contents of the records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. This means that the party presenting the copies of the records in question would be under no obligation to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, but do note that they would still be required to prove that the records were obtained from the official sources as only such records could be given the presumption in question. Note as well that the records are only given the presumption in the absence of compelling evidence to the contrary.The official sources of the records in question could be found at either the local or the state level, though most requests are made at the local level to take advantage of the fact that there are fewer records that would have to be checked at this level. Note, however, that the local level sources only have fewer records that would have to be checked because of the fact that they only keep copies of records for births that had happened within their jurisdiction. Thus, if the birth happened somewhere else, it is unlikely that there would be records of the same at the local level. The proper procedure that one would use to make the request for copies of the records would depend on the place where the request would be made, though it would usually be through the mail or in person.Copies of Canada Death Records could also be found online through the use of online databases. Online databases are not official sources, but the information that they could provide would be substantially the same as that which could be found from the official sources, and they could present the information faster and more efficient.
