(1) Name of the stillborn child.

(2) Date of delivery.

(3) County of delivery.

(4) Mother's name and birthplace.

(5) Father's name and birthplace.

Such certificate shall not affect the registration, filing or record requirements of this act, nor shall the issuance of such certificate impose upon a coroner or medical examiner any additional duties to conduct an investigation.
