birth certificate
Official natal record
A birth certificate is an official document recording a person's birth, typically including date, place, parents' names, and the name given at birth.
It serves as primary proof of identity and citizenship for obtaining passports, driver's licenses, and other documents.
I need my birth certificate to apply for a passport.
