Sec. 2831.
The state registrar shall establish a new certificate of birth for an individual born in this state when the registrar receives any of the following:
(a) A report of adoption as provided in section 2829, a report of adoption prepared and filed under the laws of another state or foreign country, or a certified copy of the adoption order, together with the information necessary to identify the original certificate of birth and to establish a new certificate of live birth. However, the state registrar shall not establish a new certificate of live birth if so requested by the court ordering the adoption; the adopting parent; or the adoptee, if the adoptee is an adult.
(b) A request that a new certificate be established and the evidence required by the department proving that the individual's parentage has been established.
(c) A request that a new certificate be established to show a sex designation other than that designated at birth. The request must be accompanied by a form approved by the director and signed by the individual indicating a sex designation. If the form is accompanied by a court order changing the name of the individual, the new certificate must also reflect the new legal name. The state registrar may not require any additional document or certification other than the form, or, if applicable, the court order, required under this subdivision.
(d) A judgment or a parentage judgment under section 203 or 308 of the assisted reproduction and surrogacy parentage act, 2024 PA 24, MCL 722.1803 and 722.1908, together with the information necessary to identify the original certificate of birth and to establish a new certificate of live birth.
