Getting Birth Certificate Records

Birth certificates are important documents about yourself and are probably one of the easiest to obtain online. Read on for useful tips on how you can get your birth certificate with as less fuss as possible.


People use birth certificate records as proof of their existence. They give proof of one’s birth and list down the mother's maiden name, the father's full name, the baby's name, the date of birth and the place where the birth occurred. Some birth records include other details like the parents' birthplaces, their addresses, their race, the total number of children they have and their individual occupations.

Who Can Access Birth Certificate Records?

Each state has its own set of procedures regarding requests for vital records like birth certificate records. When it comes to asking for a new birth certificate, you must satisfy at least one of the following conditions:

• You're requesting the new birth certificate for yourself.
• You're the guardian or parent named on the birth certificate. A proof of guardianship should accompany the application.
• You're asking for a new birth certificate on behalf of the person named in the certificate, his parents or guardians. A signed and notarized representation authorization or assignment letter is required for this one.
• In a court of law case, you'll need to provide additional identification to obtain the new certificate. Where no valid government-issued photo ID is available, you can provide any combination of the following: pay slips, current bank statements, copy of latest income tax form, rental agreements, social security ID, current car registration card and water and power bill with present address.

Birth Certificate Records Request Tips

When requesting for copies of birth records in the US, people can write or drop by the Vital Statistics office in the state or location where the birth took place. To make sure you get accurate birth records and your request is processed quickly, follow these tips.

• Print or type all important names and addresses in your request letter.
• Provide a self-addressed stamped envelope.
• Avoid long-winded letters. Keep things short and sweet.
• Include no more than two requests at a time.
• Minimize confusing details regarding your ancestry in your letters.
• Give complete information about individuals and events you require birth record documents on. Include nicknames, type of events and dates.
• Be as accurate as possible. When you don't know the exact dates, specify the years you want searched.
• Include full name, sex, birth date, request date, parents' complete names, requestor's relationship to the person, purpose of request, requestor's contact details, driver's license number and state and signature.

It's important to take care of your birth certificate records. They can help answer questions regarding your identity. A birth certificate is especially useful when applying for other important documents like social security cards, passports, driving license and visas. School registration and job application often require presentation of birth certificates too so having them handy is always good.
