North Carolina H818 creates new birth certificates for adoptees, omitting adoption references and updating parent names.

North Carolina H818 revises the process for issuing new birth certificates for adoptees. The new certificate includes the adoptee's full adoptive name, sex, state and date of birth, and names of adoptive parents. It omits any reference to the adoption and lists adoptive parents as the child's parents. In stepparent adoptions, the biological parent whose relation remains unchanged is listed as a parent. The original birth certificate is sealed and replaced with the new one. The State Registrar issues certified copies of the new certificate to the adoptee, adoptive parents, and siblings.
