For your request to be

1. Individual named on record
2. Birth date

place (optional)
4. Relation to person on record
5. Purpose of request (state if
you want the copy certified or not)
Also, state your contact

Records from before 1911 may be
found at the County Clerk's office in the jurisdiction where the birth took
place.
Although application forms are
available here, you must submit your request via mail, fax machine, or in

Enclose a self-addressed
stamped envelope with your request.
