can an inscription in a bible be used as a legal document?

Question

for example if you were born at home, writing your parents names in the bible as well as yours to be used to get a birth certificate?

i'm told if a child is born at home, the parents can write the child's name and theirs as the parents and this can be taken in to the courts to obtain a birth certificate.

Answer 1

I believe this is still true.

Answer 2

This and baptism records are used for some people from years and years ago, Since that time, all births are to be recorded for a birth certificate. So yes for many of americans elderly this has been used but normally needs other material with it

Answer 3

We often use these inscriptions for geneologies, and they have been used to help verify other older records- but no, writing in a Bible is not a legal document in and of itself.

It COULD be if it was witnessed properly (like a notary, midwife, or doctor)- but then, ANY note with the proper witnessing can be legal!

(not a lawyer)

Answer 4

The Bible can never be used as a legal document because it is not a law but only guides for morality and religion.

Answer 5

Now, you can either get a delayed certificate of birth or it may still be a negative declaration of birth certificate

Answer 6

I do believe this is true especially if you can get a neighbor or another relative who acts as a witness.

Answer 7

Answer 8
