Yes. In the State of California, authorized copies of vital records can only be obtained by the individual named on the record, parents of the individual named on the record, and certain other individuals or entities specified in law. All other requestors can only obtain informational copies. All copies issued are "certified copies."

Since the age of majority in California is 18, you can obtain a copy yourself. You can either mail in an application to the California Department of Public Health, Vital Records Division or submit your request to the County Recorder's office in the county where you were born.

The original certficiate is held by the appropriate authority dealing with births, deaths and marriages. You can usually obtain a copy of it for a small fee, simply by going to the authority and asking for one. It may take several days for it to be processed, but you then have a certified copy of it; from that, you can create as many copies as you like and get them certified yourself. You may also need a birth certificate to get a passport or to leave or enter a country, therefore, it is easy to get. You have it to prove your identity and/or residence to prove citizenry.


How do you find a birth record for the UK?

The simplest way to find birth records for England & Wales from 1837 to date is to go online and look at the indexes and find a Certificate index reference. Use this reference to order a birth certificate record from the General Register Office (GRO). You won't find the birth record itself online, but can order a copy. You can view the GRO indexes online through several specialist organisations and websites, or you can view the indexes at a library or office in your area.

What is the cost of a Ca birth certificate?

The cost for a certified copy of a birth certificate from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is currently $20, payable by check or money order to CDPH Vital Records. They only accept orders submitted by mail and processing can take 4 to 7 weeks, depending on the year of birth. Request forms can be downloaded from their website.
