@TheBreadmonkey the real answer has got to be "we reused the birth cert code", but I wonder how many times -- not many but maybe not zero -- someone was falsely certified as dead (like in a mixup with a deceased person with the same name, say) and has had to fix it

@rf @TheBreadmonkey "missing, presumed dead" is a thing, yeah - and something that's ultimately legal in a way that actively faking your death usually isn't so much

@rf @TheBreadmonkey I don't think many people register their own births either to be honest.
