7 AAC 05.835. Notification of applicant. When a request or application for delayed registration of any birth is not being actively prosecuted by the applicant, the State Registrar may remove the case from the active pending file and so notify the applicant. When sufficient documentary evidence cannot be submitted, or when the State Registrar finds reason to question the validity or adequacy of the certificate or the supporting evidence, he shall not accept the delayed certificate for registration. In such case the State Registrar shall so notify the applicant, giving his reason for such action, and advise him of his right of appeal to a superior court. He shall also return to the applicant all documentary evidence submitted by him, but shall keep in the files of the bureau an adequate record of such evidence and other transactions supporting his action in refusing to register the certificate.

When a death, fetal death, or marriage occurring in Alaska has not been registered, a certificate thereof may be filed with the bureau; and if found acceptable by the State Registrar shall be registered. The State Registrar shall determine what documents or other evidence shall be necessary to substantiate the facts of such death, fetal death, or marriage, which requirements shall follow any national standards, and in general be similar to those herein established for delayed birth registration. He shall notify the proper authorities in any case where such a death might require investigation. In any case where such event occurred one or more years prior to such registration, the certificate thereof shall be marked “Delayed.” This procedure shall not apply in a case of presumption of death where no body has been established.
