To protect the integrity of vital records and to prevent the fraudulent use of birth certificates of deceased persons, the state registrar is authorized to match birth and death certificates and to post the fact of death to the appropriate birth certificate. Copies issued from birth certificates marked deceased must be similarly marked. In addition to those entitled to receive certified copies of birth certificates pursuant to § 44-63-80, certified copies of birth certificates marked deceased may be issued to a member of the registrant’s immediate family under such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the state registrar.
