Ordering Birth Certificates In Person

Note: Only the individuals listed on the original birth certificate (mother, father or child) are authorized to request and receive certified copies of a birth certificate. The person (applicant) making the request must be one of the above.

Certificates are issued at the time of request if a signed form of identification and payment are presented with a completed request form.

Payment may be made by Cash, Check, Money Order or Credit Card (VISA or Mastercard). The fee is $30.00 for the first certified copy and $15.00 for each additional copy of the same certificate when ordered at the same time. We are unable to accept pre-paid credit cards at this time.

 

To Order a Birth Certificate:

1. Please print and fill out a request form and bring it with you, or complete the form at the Office of Vital Statistics.

2. You must present a signed form of identification at the time you place the order. Examples of acceptable forms of identification are:

  • Photo driver license with signature
  • Non-driver photo license with signature
  • Passport with signature
  • Military ID with signature
  • Employer's photo ID with signature
  • Photo social services card with signature

3. If paying by credit card, the name of the credit cardholder must match the applicant’s name and identification.
