A 10807 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the issuance of birth certificates of a deceased parent to their child

This bill allows children to request birth certificates for their deceased parents without needing a court order. Currently, such requests require a court ruling, but this law adds a new provision permitting the child to apply directly if they can prove their relationship through consanguinity or adoption records. The change applies to all children seeking these documents and simplifies the process by removing the mandatory court step. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
