• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 27: Judicial Branch of Government
• Ch. 27-20.2: Juvenile Court Act

Text

1. In determining an individual's age for purposes of this chapter, the individual's date of
birth as provided by any of the following is presumed to be the individual's legal date of
birth:
a. A state government in the form of a birth certificate, other state-issued
identification, or a certified copy of a birth certificate that includes the individual's
date of birth.
b. The United States government in the form of a tribal identification document,
military identification, passport, passport card, permanent resident card,
certificate of United States citizenship, certificate of naturalization, border
crossing card, visa, or other entry document that includes the individual's date of
birth.
c. A foreign government in the form of a passport, driver's license, or other foreign
government-issued identity document that includes the individual's date of birth. If
there is a conflict between government-issued forms, a government-issued birth
certificate or a certified copy of a birth certificate takes precedence.
2. The presumption in subsection 1 may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence to
the contrary.
