Title 3 - Registration of Births
4134 - Birth Certificate; Unnamed Child.

§ 4134. Birth certificate; unnamed child. 1. If a living child has not
yet been named at the date of filing the certificate of birth, the space
provided for the given name of the child is to be left blank, to be
filled out subsequently by a supplemental report, as herein provided.

2. If a child dies without a given name, there shall be entered in the
space provided for the name the words "died unnamed." The parents of the
deceased child may submit a supplemental report of the given name of the
deceased child. Such report shall be returned to the local registrar and
the given name shall be entered on the original birth certificate.

3. When any certificate of birth of a living child is presented
without the statement of the given name, the local registrar shall make
out and deliver to the parents of the child a supplemental report of the
given name of the child, which shall be filled out as directed, and
returned to the local registrar as soon as the child shall have been
named. The given name, supplied by the supplemental report, shall be
entered on the original birth certificate.
