Florida Birth Certificates

To request a copy of your Florida birth certificate or your child’s record, you will need to:

Step 1: Fill out the Florida Birth Certificate form with the parents’ and child’s information.

Step 2: Select the type of birth record that you need. In most cases, the computer certification is sufficient to determine identity.

Step 3: Return the application along with the appropriate fee to the Bureau of Vital Statistics. A copy of your photo ID should also be included. Mail orders can be paid for with check or money order, but phone and fax orders need to be paid by credit card. Walk in orders can be paid for with cash, check, money order, or credit card.
