1.
A certified proof-of-age document issued by federal, state
or provincial registrars of vital statistics, or local offices,
is acceptable proof-of-age, provided the document was filed,
recorded, registered or issued within one (1) year of the
birth of the child (i.e. birth certificate).
2.
For children born abroad of a parent or parents who are U.S.
citizens, any official government document issued by a U.S.
federal agency or service is acceptable. These must be originals,
not copies, and must refer to a filing, recording, registration,
or issue date that is within one (1) year of the birth of
the child.
3.
A notarized photocopy of the following documents (state law
permitting) will be acceptable only if the document is notarized
after the photocopy has been made and the ink signature or
raised stamp is visible:
•
Birth Certificate
• Valid Passport
• Valid Driver’s License
• Documents from Nos. 1 and 2 above
The
AJGA reserves the right to accept or reject any proof-of-age
documentation not listed above.
How
to obtain acceptable proof-of-age documents:
Certified
birth records may be obtained from the Registrar of Vital
Statistics of each state, province, or local office where
the child was born, for a nominal fee. For U.S. born persons,
addresses of these offices or bureaus, fees required, and
other pertinent information are supplied by the United States
Department of Health and Human Services. A database listing
the method of obtaining birth records from any U.S. state
or territory is available at the following Internet addresses:
