Vital records provide detailed personal information about a person. For example, birth certificates contain a person’s complete name, the name of his or her parents, and their nationalities. Obviously, this document reveals much about a person.
I’m often surprised then as to why people ignore these vital records when conducting background checks. Some even look at various employment or school records for information that are explicitly stated in single-page birth certificates.
Maybe people ignore vital documents because the information contained therein are the basic ones you could easily get from verifying one's e-mail address or blog page. However, those sources of information are provided for by the person himself so there is a big chance that the data may not be accurate or complete due to inadvertence.
Keep in mind that many do not trust the people that they communicate with on the Internet. Hence, it would not be surprising if some of the personal details that they post on the Internet are false. In fact, this is even advisable to prevent identity theft, which is rampant in cyberspace. Official records are still the best sources of information since they are verified.
