The U.S. Constitution, including the 14th Amendment, does not specify the exact details of what must be included in a birth certificate. It doesn’t say how many words it should have, what font to use, what kind of serial number to include, or whose signature should be on it. However, these details are decided by federal agencies and then passed on to state offices that handle vital records. This means the federal government has the power to change or update what information is included in a birth certificate.

The idea is simply to add or update certain information on them to reflect the needs and changes of modern times. This is about making sure birth certificates remain relevant and useful as society evolves.

They are administrative updates, not legal or constitutional matters.
