5 Colo. Code Regs. § 1006-1-11
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 24, December 25, 2024
To protect the integrity of vital records and to prevent the fraudulent use of birth certificates of deceased persons, the State Registrar shall establish a program to match death certificates with the corresponding birth certificates. At a minimum, record matching shall be performed for all deaths occurring in Colorado within the first year of life. Records of deaths occurring in states other than Colorado shall be matched to Colorado records to the extent possible based upon receipt of appropriate records from other states.
The date of death, the state where the death occurred, and the death certificate number shall be posted to the birth certificate.
