==Background==
 
"The US Department of State Reciprocity Schedule provides the following information about birth certificates: Births can be registered by either the father or the mother. If the child is born out of wedlock and is registered by the mother, the father is not specified and the child is registered with the surname of the mother. Extraits can be obtained from the National Archives ... If no record exists or cannot be found, the National Archives can prepare an extrait ... and including the text of a baptismal certificate. These negative extraits are considered unreliable as proof of relationship. (25 Aug. 2005)"<ref name="refworld">UN Refugee Agency, refworld, [https://www.refworld.org/docid/485ba863c.html Haiti: Procedure to obtain a birth certificate], Copyright notice: This document is published with the permission of the copyright holder and producer Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).
