Can I obtain my childs Birth Certificate even though he/she is over 18?
Yes, at any time.
I've just had a baby. How do I get a Birth Certificate for my new born?
The birth certificate is not automatically mailed to the parent
after birth. The parent must apply for the birth certificate through a
Vital Statistics office and pay the proper fee.
Do I have to order my birth certificate from the county I was born in?
No, you can order your birth certificate from most counties
within the State of Florida, (counties you cannot purchase an out of county birth certificate
from are Glades, Hendry, Hamilton and Nassau).
Can I order my birth certificate from Florida if I was born in another state?
No.
Can I order my grandchild's birth certificate?
Only if you have completed the affidavit to release a
Florida birth certificate, or if you have legal custody of your grandchild with legal
guardianship papers and proper valid identification.
Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are
public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in
response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to
this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.
