Contact the department of vital statistics in the state you were born. They will tell you what information (and fees) you need to send them to receive a certified copy.

Is a certificate of live birth the same as a birth certificate in Florida A friend may be adopted?
In Florida, a "certificate of live birth" is the original certificate completed at the time of the child's birth. It is prepared by the hospital and includes the signatures of at least one of the parents and usually the physician or another witness to the birth. Once the "certificate of live birth" has been completed, it is sent to the Florida Office of Vital Statistics, who files the document and issues certified copies when requested. When ordering a Florida birth certificate, you can ask for a "photocopy certificate" - which is an exact photocopy of the original "certificate of live birth". They can only be ordered from the state office in Jacksonville, since that is where the actual certificate is stored. A "Certification of Birth" also known as a "computer copy" is a document issued by the Florida Office of Vital Statistics that only includes some of the information from the original "certificate of live birth". It usually states only the name, sex, date of birth, place of birth, parents' names, and the state file number. These types of birth certificates are cheaper and can be purchased from any Vital Statistics office in the state of Florida (and each county has one). Now for adopted persons, the policy is different. When the child is born, their birth certificate is completed like normal. However, once the child is adopted, the state of Florida creates a NEW "certificate of live birth" that shows the child's adoptive name and the names of the adoptive parents. The original "certificate of live birth" containing the names of the original parents is "sealed", meaning that it is locked up and can never be opened again without a court order. So, when an adopted person orders a birth certificate - whether it's a "photocopy" ("certificate of live birth") or "computer copy" ("certification of birth"), it will only show the adoptive name of the child and the names of the adoptive parents.

What states issue a certificate of live birth as opposed to a birth certificate?
All states issue birth certificates. Usually it is the medical facilities where the child is actually born that issue the 'certificates of live birth.' The parent(s) must then take this 'certificate of live birth' to the city or county office which issues the official birth certificates. Present the certificate of live birth, and the government office will issue a birth certificate based on the hospital's certification. (confused enough?) ------------------ With all due respect, medical facilities almost invariably issue birth certificates and it is they, not the parents, who interface with the agency that officially records births, deaths, marriages, etc. and it is the State that issues certified documents to parents, schools, etc. including Certificates of Live Birth (COLB). A COLB can not be generated until the data from the original Birth Certificate is transcribed into a database in a computer and it is from that information that the COLB is generated, printed and certified. It is my understanding that virtually all states will provide certified photocopies of the original birth certificate upon request and the payment of a fee. I know of none that will not.
Does the State of Hawaii have two different documents as birth records Certification of Live Birth and Certificate of Live Birth and what is the difference in the two?
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth is a long form birth certificate. The Certification of Live Birth is the short form birth certificate. The long form contains more information than the short form. The Certification is computer generated utilizing the information from the long form birth certificate. It shows the date the long form was filed. If a Certificate of Live Birth (long form) does not exist, the state of Hawaii will issue a No Record Certification. A short form birth certificate from Hawaii is acceptable proof of birth and citizenship when applying for a US passport, but a short form birth certificate from California or Texas is not.
