I doubt this was a Delayed Record -- I was born in a hospital in a mid-sized town in Missouri. The oldest issued state certificate was dated 18 days after my birth so it appears the hospital furnished birth information as required.

From the information you've provided, I'm going to assume this was part of a national standardization process that was dropped sometime after 1945.

Thank you so much for your help.
