For birth certificates in 1982, the "Notarized Birth Certificate" issued by a notary institution is a legal and valid document.

1. The birth certificate must be obtained at the place of residence.

2. First go to the notary office and ask for a form similar to a "letter of introduction".

3. Take the form given by the notary office directly to the police station and give it to the police in the household registration department.

4. After opening, return to the notary office for notarization.

Extended information:

According to the provisions of the national "Medical Birth Certificate" management related documents and work instruction manual, the reissue of "Medical Birth Certificate" is only applicable to January 1, 1996 (March 1, 1996 in remote and poverty-stricken areas) babies born after.

Citizens born before January 1, 1996 will not be reissued. If a birth certificate is required, the "Notarized Birth Certificate" issued by a notary public shall be the legal and valid document.

From January 1, 2014, China will launch a new version of the "Medical Birth Certificate" (Fifth Edition). On January 9, 2014, the National Health and Family Planning Commission and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued a notice to standardize the management of the new version of the "Medical Birth Certificate". The notice requires that for newborns holding a "Medical Birth Certificate", the household registration authority shall review the "Medical Birth Certificate" and other materials before registering their birth.
