Live births should be reported to the state registrar, as they maintain vital records for the state. The local county registrar may also be involved in maintaining these records at a more local level, but the state registrar is ultimately responsible. The federal registrar and census bureau do not typically collect this type of data, and the medical examiner would only be involved in cases of fetal death or stillbirth.
