Birth certificate

When a baby is born, the hospital or the doctor who helped with the birth writes down some important information about the baby and the parents, like their names, birth dates, and where they live. This information is written on a special paper called a birth certificate.

The birth certificate is like a special piece of paper that helps people remember when and where a baby was born, and who their parents are. It's like a special memory box for the baby's first day!

Later on, when the baby grows up, they might need to show their birth certificate to do important things like go to school, get a passport to travel, or even get a job. It's a very important piece of paper that helps prove who a person is and where they come from.
