How do I order a birth certificate?

Answer:

Birth, death and marriage certificates are issued by state government vital records offices. To obtain a certificate you will need to contact the vital records office in the state where the event occurred. To find state vital records offices, go to http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/howto/w2w/w2welcom.htm.

If you have any questions about a document issued by a state government vital records office, please contact that office for further assistance.
