Birth Certificates

Request a Birth Certificate 

You may obtain a certified certificate of birth in person or by mail for persons born in Florida from 1930 to present.

The first step is to determine your eligibility (relationship) to receive a birth certificate. You must meet 1 of the following criteria: - Be the child named on the certificate AND over 18 years old; or be the parent, guardian or legal representative of the person named on the certificate.

All letters or applications must include a copy of a PICTURE ID of the applicant and the signature and relationship/eligibility must be stated.

When ordering a birth certificate we require the full name at birth, date and place of birth, mother's maiden name, fathers name, signature of parent, legal guardian or legal representative, I.D. of applicant. The signature of the person if they are over 18 years of age.

If you apply in person or by mail, the fee for each birth certificate is $15.00.

If you write you must enclose a copy of your driver's license along with a check, money order, or cashier's check.

Do not send cash.
