Wash. Admin. Code § 246-491-330 - Evidence of eligibility
(1)
The qualified applicant must submit evidence of eligibility documents to the
state or local registrar to prove they are eligible to receive a certification
of birth, death, fetal death, or birth resulting in stillbirth.
(2) If the qualified applicant is listed as a
party on the record, and their identity documentation provided in WAC
246-491-320 sufficiently links
the applicant to the record, then evidence of eligibility is met.
(3) If the qualified applicant is not listed
as a party on the record or the identity documentation does not sufficiently
link the qualified applicant to the record, the following documentation may
serve as evidence of eligibility:
(a) Copies
of vital records such as certifications of birth, death, marriage, and divorce
from this or another jurisdiction that link the applicant to the requested
record;
(b) Copies of certified
court orders from a court of competent jurisdiction linking the applicant to
the record;
(c) Document or letter
from title insurer or title insurance agent handling a transaction on behalf of
the decedent;
(d) Document or
letter from a government agency or courts stating the certification will be
used in the conduct of official duties; or
(e) Other documents that link the applicant
to the record as determined by the state registrar.
(4) For the purpose of this section:
(a) "Birth" includes delayed birth, but does
not include birth resulting in stillbirth.
(b) "Stillbirth" means the same as fetal
death as defined in
RCW
70.58A.010.
