Enter 1 if the person has a birth certificate, 2 for a supplementary judgment, 3 for none and 9 for do not know.
A birth certificate is a legal deed from the civil registry, an authentic deed signed by a civil registrar who attests to the birth of a person. The term refers to the official document issued by the civil registrar following a declaration of birth within the deadlines (30 days for the normal declaration and 45 days to 1 year for the late declaration).
A supplementary judgement is the decision of the president of the departmental court to authorize the registrar to record certain declarations (birth, marriage, death and so on) on the registers. This judgement is necessary when the declaration has not been made within the time limit (1 year).
