Alaska Birth Records

To begin, add a birth record or view a list of locations and resources for Alaska birth records.

Birth certificates in Alaska are fully available as public record only 100 years after the birth in question occurred. However, it is possible to retrieve a copy of a more recent birth certificate, provided that you're searching for a copy of your own birth certificate or that of your own child.

Alaska has birth records dating back to January 1913. In the case that the record you're searching for can't be found, a search will be made over a period of three years, and a failure to find record certificate will be issued.

To complete a request, you can visit any of the four Department of Health and Social Services Offices, mail in your request or use the internet to order what you need directly from home. For further questions, contact the Alaska DHSS Office for more information.

To receive a birth certificate fill out the Alaska Birth Certificate Mail-in Form. Mail your application to:

Bureau of Vital Statistics
PO Box 110675
Juneau, AK 99801-0675

Alaska birth certificates are available only to the person named, and the parents of the person named on the certificate. The fee for receiving a copy of your or your child's Alaska birth certificate is $20.00, with additional fees if you need it to be authenticated for a foreign country, an additional copy, and any extended searches. You must provide a picture ID when you apply. You may apply for an Alaska birth certificate from any one of three offices, over the Internet, and by phone or fax.
