Most states issue two types of certified birth certificate copies, a computer-
printed duplicate or a photocopy of the original record. Both formats are typically
suitable for purposes such as obtaining a driver's license or a passport, or age
verification for youth sports. The certified photocopy will be a reproduction of
the original certificate printed on security paper. Unless you specify otherwise,
most states will process and send you a computer-printed extract.
The information required to request certified birth certificate copies will vary
by vital records agency, and is designed to help protect your identity. Some
agencies may require online identity authentication, while others may require
written authorization forms or copies of identification documents such as a valid
driver’s license to complete the process.
A certified copy of your birth certificate is necessary for a variety of things
including passports, driver's licenses and youth sports. If you no longer have a
copy of your birth certificate or have lost your birth certificate, we can help
you to quickly and easily obtain a new certified copy of your birth certificate.
A certified birth certificate must be sent with your application for a New, Minor,
or Lost/Stolen US Passport - instead of sending your original certificate,
order a certified copy here.
