Birth Certificate Information
What Is a Certified Birth Certificate?
A certified copy is a legal identity document, different from a certificate of live birth. It is accepted for first-time IDs, passports, social security cards, visas, marriage, and more.
What Information Is Required?
Most requests require: birth details of the person on record, parent details, and the applicant's contact information. Some states ask for notarization or extra identity documents.
How Much Does It Cost?
State-certified copy fees usually range from $9 to $34 per copy, depending on state law. Service fees and optional expedited handling can apply separately.
How Long Does It Take?
Processing times vary by state and method. Typical windows range from a few business days to several weeks if additional verification is required.
Who Can Request a Copy?
Eligibility usually includes the person on record (18+), parents, legal guardians, and approved legal representatives. Some states allow additional close family members.
Accepted IDs and Documents
Commonly accepted IDs include a driver's license or state-issued ID. If all IDs are lost, states may accept alternate identity pathways and affidavit-based verification.
