Texas SB227 modifies the application review process for delayed birth certificates.

Texas SB227 amends the Health and Safety Code to change how the state registrar reviews applications for delayed birth certificates. The bill prohibits the registrar from rejecting an application solely due to inconsistent or contradictory evidence, provided the registrar can determine the applicant's identity and place of birth. The registrar must consider supporting evidence, a valid driver's license or personal identification certificate, and a verified affidavit from someone who knows the applicant.
