Iowa Birth Records
The birth record of a person is one of the most important records in the life of a person because these are the official records of the government in regards to the fact of the birth of the person named in the record. One can say that the best evidence that one could give in regards to the birth of the person would be the fact that the person exists, but one must remember that the fact of birth is not something that merely results into the existence of a person, it is also something that would give the person his identity and his status, and most of the rights that a person would enjoy in his or her life would be directly connected to what his status was at the time of his birth, as evidenced by the birth record, hence, one can see the reason why Iowa Birth Records are some of the most requested for records from the government.
Like all birth certificates, Iowa Birth Certificates reflect information that the person who is named in the record could use in order to prove his entitlement to some rights and duties. One of the most important things that a birth certificate could provide for would be the legitimacy or illegitimacy of the child in question. The mere fact that a person exists could not answer this question, and this is a question that should be answered especially in cases of succession as a legitimate child would be more favoured by the law when it comes to inheriting properties from their relatives.

The reason why these records are the best evidence that one could provide lies in the fact that Iowa Vital Records are official records, and because they are official records, the information that is contained within the four corners of the papers that make up the records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. The party who would present copies of these records are under no obligation to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, but take note that the presumption applies only if the records in question were obtained from the proper sources, hence, the reason why the party presenting the record may be asked to prove the same even if they would no longer be asked to prove that the contents of the records are accurate.
A request for copies of the records in question could be done from a number of offices, but perhaps the best place to make the request would be at the state level as the state level offices would have copies of all birth records that came from all over the state, compared to the local level offices that would only have copies of records from within their county borders. Of course, as there would be more records at this level, a search here would take longer to complete.
Records from the Iowa Vital Records Office could also be found online through the use of online databases. Fast, efficient, and easier to access and use, these databases could provide information that would be substantially the same as that which could be found from the official sources, but they could provide the information faster, though because they are not official sources, any and all information found through these databases are not official records.
A request for copies of the records in question could be done through the following method
- – Obtain the necessary form and accomplish the same
- – Include in the form a copy of any identification card that would prove that you are who you say you are.
- – Determine your required fee and make a money order to answer for the same.
- – Attach the money order to the accomplished form.
- – Together with a self-addressed envelope, send the application form to the Vital Records Office for processing.
- – Wait for the office to send you the records requested for if they exist.
