Most employers<\/strong> require that applicants provide them with some form of birth record<\/strong> up front for a few reasons, and if applicants are unable to provide a birth record, then employment is no longer on the table. This raises a few questions for prospective employees about their own birth records, including: what qualifies as a birth record, why it\u2019s necessary to provide to employers, and what can be done to keep personal records<\/strong> in order for such an occasion.<\/p>\n

What qualifies as a record of birth for employment?<\/h2>\n

There are a number of ways that an individual can supply a record of birth for employment purposes. The two main ways of providing a record of birth are with passports<\/strong>, social security cards<\/strong>, and\/or birth certificates<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve never been asked for a record of birth for employment, there may be a few reasons why \u2013 and we\u2019ll go over that in a minute. It\u2019s important to know what qualifies as a record of birth so that you can keep these important documents in your own files for future reference; it\u2019s inevitable that you\u2019ll need them at some point anyway!<\/p>\n

Why would an employer ask for proof of your birth?<\/h2>\n

As we mentioned before, there are a number of reasons why an employer can and may ask for a record of your birth before employing you. While it may offend some, asking for a form of birth record before employing an individual is rather standard. Here are a few reasons why employers can and should ask for this information:<\/p>\n

To legally document the status of employees<\/h3>\n

It is a critical step for employers before hiring an individual to document the status of their employees. Once it has been documented that the employee produced their birth record, the employer documents this information to ensure they\u2019ve done their due diligence<\/strong> as per the demands of the Department of Homeland Security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To guarantee lawful employment<\/h3>\n

There are a number of factors that make an individual\u2019s record of birth important for hiring employees. For instance, verifying someone\u2019s legal age<\/strong> is one aspect of hiring an employee who works at an establishment where employees must be a certain age to work there. Additionally, verifying someone\u2019s immigration status<\/strong> is another important reason why birth records are critical. Hiring individuals without U.S. citizenship<\/strong> is illegal and employers could be in serious trouble if they do so.<\/p>\n

Why it\u2019s important to keep a copy of your own birth record<\/h2>\n

There are plenty of instances that you\u2019ll come across in your life where you\u2019ll need to prove who you are \u2013 this usually requires a birth certificate, a social security number or card, or another form of identity verification. When you don\u2019t have these documents readily available, it can be a total hassle to track it down. Many employers eliminate the guesswork and just run background checks on every prospective employee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to verify someone\u2019s birth record using online tools and resources<\/h2>\n

Performing a background check<\/strong> on an individual can help employers verify different information about the person, including their birth record. This process has become very simple and streamlined \u2013 especially when using online services. With the click of a mouse or the touch of a screen, pages of detailed information are presented to the person inquiring.<\/p>\n
