Early life evidence

Early life evidence - is the term used for the documentation that concerns the earliest period of the researched person's life. According to the scientific standards for age validation, such evidence has to be issued within the claimant's first 20 years of life. As such may serve birth or baptismal records. These records should include name and surname of the newborn, identification of the parents, residence and other unique identifiers. Some birth records may include very useful marginal notes on the marriage (date and place of the marriage as well as the name of the spouse) and death notifications (date and place). Other kind of early life evidence may be school records, confirmation records and travel records issued within the first 20 years of life of the person they concern. Such kind of evidence is commonly considered as the most crucial and, in most cases, is essential for successful age validation or its invalidation.
