The canon law (877.1) of the Catholic Church requires a baptismal certificate record the following details: name of the baptised, date and place of birth, parents, godparents, place and date of Baptism. This procedure is followed by most Christian groups which would certainly record the date and place of birth. Related link:http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P2Z.HTM (Vatican Website: canon law)
