      OP is simply saying that the date of birth could be officially different. And birthdate is absolutely something for the records, for many obvious reasons.

      Weird…

      I clicked this thinking it was obvious…

      And you don’t think they record the minute for time of birth or a birth certificate?

      Or care when midnight is crossed?

      In America they do, but I’m interested in finding out what country doesn’t care, so I can read up on how they do it out of curiosity.

      Do they round by AM/PM?

      Do they just record the week/month of birth?

      I understand you may not be equipped to answer that, but if you can just tell me what fucking country on the planet doesn’t care about minutes, hours, or even days on a birth certificate, I can find out for myself.

      Edit:

      Only think they might have meant was “delayed birth certificate” done for home births without a midwife and up to a year after birth.

      On those, I think a time isn’t needed, but they’d still obviously want a day.
