Summer Edition

Before the new school year begins, parents and guardians are encouraged to obtain a certified copy of their child’s Clark County birth certificate if they don’t already have one. A birth certificate is a vital record required for school enrollment in Nevada, because it verifies a child’s identity, legal name and date of birth. Under Nevada law, schools may request a birth certificate or other reliable proof of a student’s identity and age as part of the registration process. Having this document on hand helps avoid delays in enrollment and ensures that children can start the school year on time. Birth certificates for children born in Nevada can be obtained through the Southern Nevada Health District. Order online at snhd.info/birth-certificates.
