How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Sec. 1. (a) This section applies to a person who is a resident of Indiana.

(b) To establish a public record of the time and place of a person's birth the person must:

(1) have been a bona fide resident, for more than six (6) months, of the county where the application is filed; and

(2) file a verified application and petition in the circuit or superior court of the county.

(c) The circuit court, the superior court, or the judge of the circuit or superior court shall hear and determine the matter set out in the application and petition, without the intervention of a jury.
