Best Answer

It depends on the state that the birth certificate was originally filed. For most states it is the public health department that maintains birth certificates. Many states also maintain these records at the county level, usually with the Clerk or Recorder of Deeds. For some states, birth records are maintained at the local level, such as the municipal clerk's office (New England states), or local public health office.
