7 Alaska Admin. Code § 05.200
Each recording magistrate shall keep a complete file of the recorded copies of all certificates of birth, death, fetal death, and marriage occurring within his recording district. Such file shall be separate from other records filed or recorded in the office. The records shall be arranged, numbered, and indexed in some logical order to insure the location of any given record when needed. When possible both the numbering and filing should be by units of one to five calendar years, with the year referring to the date of the event. Any part of an original certificate designated as confidential by the bureau shall not be recorded or copied by the recording magistrate. No separate numbering, filing, indexing, or other system shall be maintained which might tend to identify the record of any illegitimate, adopted, or legitimated person. The recorded file of such vital statistics records, as well as the originals during the time they are within the recording magistrate's office, shall not be available to the general public, but shall be subject to the restrictions on public access to vital records. The original copy of any record for which a substitute record following adoption or legitimation has been made, any record revealing illegitimacy, and any adoption files still remaining in the magistrate's office are severely restricted as to access by law.
