Grading comment
In this context, where a birth certificate is translated for US authorities, fidelity might be extended to the end-user (in this case, a gov't that uses different language on such documents). I agree with Maria Eugenia. In this context, where a parent presents his or her child to the competent authorities, simply saying "presented a (male/female) child" may suffice. Thanks, Henry, and to everyone who took the time to consider this question. Regards from New Mexico!

agree  Carolina Grupe: si, o introduce porque me parece que los documentos legales por ahi tienen mucha redundancia.

born alive


Explanation:
I don't think it means introduce in person(that would be presentan en vivo) if the context is a birth certificate. I just looked at my birth certificate (in English) and I think the section you are citing is the equivalent of the section on a US birth certificate where it says: I certify that the above named child was born alive at the place and time and on the date state above.

Live birth might be a second option depending on how you order/phrase the translation.

agree  Rosa Maria Duenas Rios (X): Efectivamente, hay la opción de presentar vivo o muerto al bebé que se va a registrar. Raro, pero sucedía, sobre todo antes del ultrasonido, cuando no eran pocos los bebés que nacián muertos o morían poco después.

Explanation:
Wow!! Me parece ATROZ poner que llevan a un bebé vivo. ¿Podría ser que lo llevaran muerto, también?

Esto es rarísimo. Hasta donde yo sé, no es necesario presentar a un niño en persona para inscribirlo. Basta con el certificado de parto que extiende el hospital o clínica donde nació.
Pero si eso es lo que dice, eso hay que traducir...

Concuerdo contigo, Marcelo. Creo que se puede obviar esa parte. Ya el hecho de tener que "mostrar" al hijo para registrarlo como suyo es bastante extravagante...

neutral  Henry Hinds: Podría ser, pero no me ha tocado ni un acta así, supongo que el interesado no necesita traducir el acta en tales casos. Pero en México así aparece en las actas de nacimiento. En efecto sucede, adopción instantánea.
