Birth and Death Certificates

To obtain certified copies of birth or death records, you must fill out an application, show tangible interest, and provide photo identification (usually a driver’s license or passport). The cost to obtain a birth or death certificate can be found within the application.

• Application for Birth Certificate
• Application for Death Certificate

If you do not have photo identification, someone who has known you for two years AND has photo identification can provide a Statement to Identify which will enable you to obtain your birth certificate.

You can obtain your birth/death certificate by picking it up in person, mail, fax, or email.

To have a 3rd party pick up a birth/death certificate please complete the appropriate authorization form:

• Authorization to Release Birth Certificate to 3rd party
• Authorization to Release Death Certificate to 3rd party

A non-certified copy of your birth record can also be issued at a reduced cost. These are usually requested when not intended for a legal purpose.
