Requesting Wisconsin Birth Records

If you need Wisconsin birth records, then you can contact the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The Department provides both certified and uncertified birth certificates for the state.

Ways To Order Wisconsin Birth Certificates

Limitations To Ordering Certified Copies

Any person who fills out an application and pays the appropriate fee can be issued an uncertified copy of Wisconsin birth records, though these documents are not accepted as identification. Certified copies of Wisconsin birth records are able to be used as identification and are only available to the person listed, their spouse, a parent or grandparent, a sibling, a child, or someone that has been given legal access to the record.
