Currentness
Upon request from the mother or father, a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth shall be issued by the department for any fetal death previously filed with the department. If the father is not identified on the fetal death record or the child was conceived during a criminal act, only the mother shall be permitted to request the certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth.

(1) Name of the stillborn child.
(2) Date of delivery.
(3) County of delivery.
(4) Mother's name and birthplace.
(5) Father's name and birthplace.
(6) The statement: “This certificate is not proof of live birth.”
Such certificate shall not affect the registration, filing or record requirements of this act, nor shall the issuance of such certificate impose upon a coroner or medical examiner any additional duties to conduct an investigation.
