certificate of birth may be filed in accordance with regulations of
the department. The certificate shall be registered subject to such

registration. (c) A summary statement of the evidence submitted in support of the
delayed registration shall be endorsed on the delayed certificate of
birth. (d) When an applicant does not submit the minimum documentation
required in the regulations for delayed registration or when the
state registrar has reasonable cause to question the validity or
adequacy of the applicant's sworn statement or the documentary
evidence, and if the deficiencies are not corrected, the state
registrar shall not register the delayed certificate of birth and
shall advise the applicant in writing of the reasons for this action
and shall further advise the applicant of the applicant's right of
judicial appeal. (e) The department may by regulation provide for the dismissal of an
application which is not actively prosecuted. (f) No delayed certificate of birth shall be registered for a
