Most state counties have online pages you can go to and either request a copy to be mailed to you with a nominal fee or you can purchase a copy online and since this is a legal document in many cases can't be printed out and must be requested over the phone or in writing. Contact the county where you were born and find out how you can obtain a copy of your birth certificate if you are no longer a resident of that state.

Contact the County Health Department in the county in which you were born - meaning the county of the hospital's location, not necessarily the county your mother resided in. They will provide certified copies for a fee.

If you go to your state's web address, they typically have a procedure that you go through. Most states use Vital Records or they have their own form that you fill out and submit to the state. The state will charge a fee for this. It will be a certified copy of the birth certificate.

You can contact your state's Bureau of Vital Statistics for a records search or a verified copy of your birth certificate.

In order for you to obtain a replacement birth certificate, you will be asked to submit:

1. Your Complete Birth Name.

2. Your Date of Birth.

3. Place You Were Born

4. Your Parent's First and Last Names. (usually including your Mother's maiden name.)

5. You will need to state that the replacement record is for you as you cannot request a replacement of someone else's records.

The only individuals that can legally acquire your birth certificate are:

-Your Spouse.

-Your Parents.

-Your Grandparents.

-Your Brothers or Sisters.

-Your Legal Guardian.

Some states have contracted for replacements that may be issued by phone or fax. You can find your local state office online, usually under the state department of health.

One can replace a lost birth certificate by calling their state department, and asking for the extension for vital records. Once you do that, just follow through the instructions and you'll get a birth certificate.

Contact your state's department of Vital Records; they'll know the city or county you were born in, and then you can request a birth certificate from that county.

What do you do if you are a non citizen and have lost your birth certificate?

You can get a copy of your birth certificate from the registar of those records in the country where you were born. Depending on the country, you MAY be able to order one (and pay for it, they are not free) on the internet. My wife is a British subject, and when we needed a copy of her birth certificate, we were able to get one from the UK.

How can you take your friend to Canada when she lost her birth certificate.. She lost her birth certificate and she's from California so she can't order a new one. We need it before Friday October 21?

Your friend cannot travel across international borders if she does not have adequate documentation. First of all, a birth certificate will not help you get across an international border. If she does not have a passport, US passport card, "enhanced" drivers license or "enhanced" non-driver ID, then she will not be permitted to enter Canada.


Do you need an original birth certificate or can it be a copy?
