§ 4138-b. Birth certificate: foreign country adoption. Whenever the adoption or finalization of a foreign adoption or recognition of a foreign adoption of a child pursuant to section one hundred eleven-c of the domestic relations law has been reported to the commissioner, the commissioner shall file a birth certificate for the child provided there is no other birth certificate or other birth record on file other than in the country where such child was born and provided, further, that a certificate of birth data does not exist for that person. Such birth certificate shall be filed upon receipt of: proof that the adoptive parent was a resident of this state at the time of adoption; a copy of the adoption documents of the jurisdiction or country in which the child was adopted; a certified translation of the foreign adoption documents, evidence of the date and place of the child's birth; and evidence of IR-3, IR-4 or IH-3 immigrant visa status or a successor immigrant visa status. The birth certificate shall include the child's name, sex, date of birth, time of birth, place of birth, mother's maiden name, and father's name. A birth certificate for a foreign country adoption which has been filed by a local registrar and all supporting documentation shall be submitted by the local registrar to the commissioner who shall file a new birth certificate pursuant to this section.
