Birth & Death Records
A law and rules changed ordering requirements for birth and death certificates starting in 2021.
-
For increased security of personal information, only individuals with specific relationships to the person on the record being requested can receive a certified copy.
-
Identity and proof of relationship documentation will be required.
-
Certificate fee is $25.00 per copy.
Important note: no refunds will be given if a record could not be located or the documentation you provided did not prove you were eligible to receive a certificate. For more information, visit the state Department of Health's Frequently Asked Questions page.
Wait at least 15 days after birth to apply and pay for a certificate.
Adding parentage? Wait 30 days after birth to apply and pay for a certificate. Learn more about the Acknowledgement of Parentage.
