(Authorization: Section 3107)

2.1 When an authorized reproduction of a vital record has been properly prepared by the State Registrar in accordance with 29 Del.C. Ch. 5 and when all steps have been taken to insure the continued preservation of the information, the record from which such authorized reproduction was made may be disposed of in accordance with an approved disposition schedule. Such record may not be disposed of, however, until the quality of the authorized reproduction has been tested in accordance with 29 Del.C. Ch. 5 to insure that acceptable certified copies can be issued and until a security copy of such document has been placed in a secure location removed from the building where the authorized reproduction is housed. Such security copy shall be maintained in such a manner to insure that it can replace the authorized reproduction should the authorized reproduction be lost or destroyed.

2.2 The State Registrar shall update the appropriate retention and disposition schedules as necessary. The State Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs shall adhere to applicable state laws and regulations pertaining to vital records.
