Where To Find Alabama Birth Records

Gaining access to Alabama birth records is as simple as contacting the Alabama Center for Health Statistics. You will need a birth certificate for many legal purposes, including enrolling in school, finding a job, and for the purpose of identification.

Ordering Certificates Online

Alabama birth records can be obtained online either by ordering electronically (where additional fees apply) or by printing a form that can then be mailed in to the Vital Records Department. This makes it easy for anyone to access the birth certificates that they need.

Restrictions to Accessing Birth Records

Due to state law, only certain people can access Alabama birth records. Birth records are considered confidential records until 125 years after birth, and therefore, they can only be accessed if you are the person named on the certificate or their mother, father or legal guardian. If you are the spouse, the child, or a sibling of the person named on the certificate, you may also obtain access to the birth certificate as well.
