When a baby is stillborn are both a birth and death certificate issued?
What if you've had to birth a miscarriage? Is anything given at that point?

When a baby is born stillborn, yes a birth and death certificate are issued. With a miscarriage, nothing is issued, because most generally a miscarriage, was never viable. My sister was stillborn and my mom has a birth and death certificate for her, but she's had a miscarriage also, and no legal papers from that.

Birth certificates have never been issued for stillborns until recently, and for those, no record is kept of it. Stillbirth deaths were typically not recorded until the 40s since most births were at home. If your husband was born in a hospital, it is possible that a certificate of death MAY have been issued. Check with Vital Statistics for your state to find out what records might have been available. Some hospitals still have the records. If he was born at home, you are probably out of luck unless a doctor delivered them.

There is no Certificate of live birth. A miscarriage is usually catagorized as before 20 weeks gestation. No certificate is issued. I think that a death certificate would be issued if the baby was much closer to full term.

Depending on the state you live in...
I live in Texas, and lost a baby at 7 months pregnant. If the baby is over 1 lb, you do not receive a birth certificate, but you do get a death certificate. Also, you must burry the baby.
If the baby is under 1 lb, you do not get anything, and do not have to burry the baby.
There are some states that do issue birth certificates and social numbers for babies that are still born, I googled it one day. Other states have organizations that are fighting for it to happen in their state.

I think after 20 weeks they require a death certificate.

There is no birth certificate because technically, the baby was never born. There is a death certificate or what they call a Fetal Demise Certificate that they give.
After 20 weeks, it isn't considered a miscarriage, the hospital gives nothing for miscarriages.

IF the child is BORN - there is a birth AND death certificate ON FILE. Grace
