“Age Search” is a term used by the U.S. Census Bureau to refer to searches of the individual records in its custody from the federal population censuses. The agency may issue official transcripts of the results to the inquirer. Individuals can use these transcripts, which may contain information on a person’s age, sex, race, state or country of birth, and relationship to the householder, as evidence to qualify for social security and other retirement benefits, in making passport applications, to prove relationship in settling estates, in genealogy research, or to satisfy other situations where a birth or other certificate may be needed but is not available.
