What is Melania Trump's correct birthdate and birthplace?

1. Consensus on date: April 26, 1970

Every major item in your search results gives the same birthdate: April 26, 1970. Wikipedia’s Melania Trump entry lists April 26, 1970 ^[8]; Britannica explicitly lists “born April 26, 1970” ^[1]; Biography.com’s profile repeats the same date ^[2]; and other archival or institutional biographies (IMDb, White House Historical Association, Trump Presidential Library/Archive) do so as well ^{[3] [4] [6]}. The consistency across encyclopedias, biographical databases and institutional pages establishes the prevailing public record in these sources ^{[8] [1] [3] [4] [2] [5] [6] [7]}.

2. Consensus on place: Novo Mesto, Slovenia (then Yugoslavia)

The place of birth named across the same set of sources is Novo Mesto, located in present-day Slovenia, which at her birth was part of the former Yugoslavia. Britannica identifies “Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia [now in Slovenia]” ^[1]; IMDb and the White House Historical Association both state Novo Mesto, Slovenia ^{[3] [4]}; Biography.com lists Novo Mesto, Slovenia ^[2]; and several other institutional pages also give Novo Mesto as her birthplace ^{[5] [6] [7]}.

3. Where discrepancies have appeared — and what your provided sources say

Public confusion in prior reporting has at times centered on smaller details (for example, hometown vs. hospital town, or whether she was “born in” or “raised in” a particular nearby town). None of the search results you provided, however, present a conflicting birthdate or an alternate birthplace; all of the supplied sources converge on April 26, 1970 and Novo Mesto ^{[8] [1] [3] [4] [2] [5] [6] [7]}.

4. Source types and likely origins of the public record

The information appears across reference compendia (Britannica, Wikipedia), institutional archives (White House Historical Association, presidential archive pages), major biographies (Biography.com, IMDb) and regional reporting reproduced nationally (NorthJersey summarizing biographical facts). The repetition suggests these outlets rely on the same primary biographical materials or prior interviews; none of the provided pages cites a birth certificate in the snippets you supplied ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}.

5. What the provided sources do not mention

Available sources do not mention any alternately verified birthdate or birthplace in the supplied reporting, nor do they provide a reproduction of primary documents (birth certificate) in the snippets shown (not found in current reporting). If you want document-level verification (civil registry records or a scanned birth certificate), those primary documents are not included in the search results you gave ^{[8] [1] [3] [4] [2] [5] [6] [7]}.

6. Why this matters — and how to proceed if you need primary confirmation

For most purposes — journalism, encyclopedic reference, general biographical context — the consistent public record in these authoritative secondary sources suffices: Melania Trump (born Melanija Knavs) — born April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto (now Slovenia, then Yugoslavia) ^{[1] [3] [4] [2]}. If you require legal or archival proof (e.g., for genealogical research or a formal fact-check that demands original civil records), request access to Slovenian civil-registry records or an official birth certificate; such primary-document searches are not covered in the supplied sources (available sources do not mention access to birth-certificate scans or registry entries) ^{[1] [4]}.
