An example is my great grandmother Minnie Estella Miner's delayed birth certificate. Look at the birth date and the date of registration
Full name of Child .........................................................Minnie Estella Miner

Mateo, California

Any additional circumstances ........................................
Although this is a birth certificate, the 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses are closer to the actual birthday of 16 Feb 1872. This birth certificate was registered 67 years after the fact and her eldest daughter is listed as the person signing the certificate. The delayed certificate did not have any documentation with it. I have delayed birth certificates for her children born in North Dakota and all of those have documentation to support the information.
