So, I was looking at my Connecticut birth certificate, specifically at the SFN And color me confused. From what I know, state file numbers are formated a certain way of which mine is not. Every example I've seen shows them formated very differently from mine.

2002-02 2002 being my date of birth And then a 5 digit code that I'm assuming is sensitive so I'm refraining from mentioning.

Does anyone know anything about this? Are there any other sub redditd I can ask to hopefully find answers?

The color and any sort of formatting changes a lot so there isn't much to glean from online examples. My original birth certificate from the 80s was made on a typewriter! It looks like this.

Anyway, here are the official instructions for obtaining a birth certificate. You can call the Vital Records Office with any questions.

Have you tried contacting the town hall where the birth was registered?

I just found out this information so no. I no longer live in Connecticut.

Just call the town hall. You don’t need to go in person.

Why does this matter to you?

Pretty important to know whether or not my birth certificate was filed correctly - as in if I'm even recognized as being born.

Don’t worry, you exist.
