The dual birth certificate system refers to the practice of issuing a true birth certificate to an individual at birth, and then, if the person is adopted, issuing a subsequent amended legal certificate that reports the adoptive parents as if the adopted person were born to them. Other details may be changed or omitted as well. The original is sealed and, in 36 states, kept a secret from the adopted person.
