The evidence upon which the amended or new certificate was made and the original birth certificate must be sealed and filed and may be opened only upon court order or upon application of the Division of Child Support Services certifying that the child for whom information is sought is the subject of a child support case administered by the Division under Title IV-D of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 651 et seq.).","path":["Title 16.
