CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE

The Official Travel Documents website was formed to help US citizens obtain information on getting a certified birth certificate quickly and easily.  Certified birth certificates are fast becoming the most important document to prove identity, age and credentialing verification. They are a required piece of documentation for activities ranging from school registration, driver's license applications, and passports.

It is necessary to obtain a certified birth certificate if you or your family members have lost their original copy. This process of obtaining a new birth certificate is seamless with the Official Travel Documents resources, including direct links to VitalChek.com, America's leading source for expedited vital records services. Since each state has different requirements and different levels of service, it is beneficial to use these services to help guide you through the process.

Some states will issue an uncertified copy as well as a certified birth certificate. VitalChek will make sure to submit your request correctly to ensure that you receive exactly what you need for your official records. An example of an uncertified copy of a birth certificate will be a photocopy on plain, white paper of the original document that is filed in the states official document’s office. Most states issue two formats of the certified copy of birth certificate, a computer-printed extract or a photocopy of the original record. Either format will be acceptable for legal purposes such as obtaining a driver’s license or a passport, or for foreign travel. The certified photocopy will be a copy on security paper of the original certificate. Unless you specify otherwise, most states will process and send you a computer-printed extract.
