The state of Florida has issued computer-generated birth certificates, complete with the embossed state seal since the mid 1980s. There are three different ways to receive a copy of your official state of Florida birth certificate if you are a Florida native and were born after 1917. You can order your online copy, send off for a copy, or walk into a Florida Department of Health to get a replacement copy of your Florida birth certificate.

You can order via express mail, rush mail or standard mail. You must complete a form that you have obtained either online or in person and submit a copy a valid photo ID that proves you are the person named on the birth certificate. The state of Florida stresses that you not send any original documents. If you are the parent of the person named on the birth certificate, you must submit a valid form of ID for the person listed on the birth certificate (a social security card) and a copy of your own valid photo ID. If you are the representative of a person requesting a replacement birth certificate, you will also need a notarized letter with that person's signature included authorizing you to get a copy of their birth certificate. There are no additional fees if you have your replacement sent via standard mail. Rush delivery will cost you an extra $10.00. Express mail will cost you the extra $10.00, plus the cost of an express mail envelope. Requests can be faxed in, mailed or dropped off at Bureau of Vital Statistics Attn: Customer ServicesP.O. Box 210 Jacksonville, FL 32231-0042. You should allow 3-4 business days for standard delivery and 1-2 business days for rush or express delivery.

replacement birth certificate in the state of Florida is fairly easy and safe, turn around time is completely dependent on you and how soon you need a copy of your birth certificate. If you need it immediately, order it online. If you have some time, you can visit the Florida Department of Health or order your birth certificate by mail. Any way that you choose to obtain a copy of a replacement birth certificate make sure you have everything that you need when you begin.

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.

In Florida is it illegal for the birth mother to put the adoptive mother's name on the birth certificate?

Yes. It is illegal to falsify information on a legal document. The information you provide on the birth certificate must be accurate. An original birth certificate is issued before an adoption and it shows the identity of the biological parents. That record is sealed until opened by a court order. An amended birth certificate is then issued with the names of the adoptive parents and that becomes the child's official birth record in the public records.
