Oregon Birth Records

The most important record in the life of a human being is the first record that he or she would ever encounter, and that record is his or her birth records. Aside from the fact that the name of the child is in the birth record as well as the name of the parents and the civil status not only of the child but also of the parents, birth records establishes the fact that someone was born, and therefore, that that someone exists. Oregon Birth Records, therefore, are important because they establish identity. Sure, any person could claim to be anyone but without proof that he or she is who he or she says he is, such claims would be taken with a grain of salt and not believed, and the best proof is always the birth record.

Birth records are generally considered to be public records, but they are vital records. This classification means that while people could claim birth records, there are strict limitations as to who exactly these people could be. Vital records could only be issued to relatives of the person so named in the record because these records could establish identity or the existence of something, thus, it is not inconceivable and impossible to imagine that in the hands of the wrong people, vital records, such as a birth record, could cause untold damages not only to the person named in those records but even to other innocent people.
