how to replace a lost birth certificate
Once Vital Records has received forms and fees for both agencies from you, we will create a certified copy of the birth certificate and will submit the certified birth certificate copy, Secretary of State's application, Secretary of State's fees, and prepaid envelope directly to the Office of the Secretary of State.
This applies to both information from and copies of birth certificates. You can apply for a copy of a birth certificate in two ways: in person or by mail. Identification of the person making the application is required to apply for copies of vital records in person or by mail.
