For birth certificates, currently the race of the newborn is not collected and, for reporting purposes, is based on the race of the mother, which she is to self-report.
Race and ethnicity data are based on self-reporting. Although the race and ethnicity categories are explicitly defined by OMB, the respondents to Census Bureau questionnaires and the informants for state vital certificates are free to interpret the categories (and use their own mental templates of race and ethnicity) and answer any way they see fit.
