Q. How do I know if the copy I have of my birth certificate is a valid, legal document? Answer In order for your birth certificate to be valid and legal, it must have been issued from the Vital Records Department of the actual town you were born in, or, if your parents were residing in Woodstock at the time of your birth, and you were born in another Connecticut town, then we would have a copy of the birth record and can issue a legal copy of the certificate. Some hospitals will give the parents a “decorative” certificate at the time of birth. This is not a valid, legal document of your birth.
