San Juan Municipio Hospitals provide a variety of medical services to patients of all ages, including labor and delivery services. When a baby is born at a Hospital in San Juan Municipio, Puerto Rico, it creates birth records for the birth. These can include ceremonial San Juan Municipio birth certificates which list the baby's name, date of birth, weight and length, and the Hospital's name, as well as information about the parents. These ceremonial birth certificates cannot act as legal proof of identity in Puerto Rico, but they may be a valuable source of information on an individual's birth. Hospitals also maintain demographic information on babies born at their facility, which may be accessible to researchers.
