By Alabama law, birth certificates are confidential records with restricted access for 125 years from the date of birth. They may be obtained by the following persons, upon payment of the proper fee:

person named on the certificate

mother, father, or legal guardian

husband or wife of person named on certificate

son or daughter of person named on certificate

sister or brother of person named on certificate

legal representative of an authorized person

The fee to search for a birth certificate is $15.00, which includes one certified copy of the birth certificate or a "Certificate of Failure to Find." For each additional copy of the certificate ordered at the same time, the fee is $6.00. Checks or Money Orders should be made payable to the State Board of Health. Please do not send cash. Fees are not refundable. Additional fees are required for expedited service.

Download the Mail-In Application found at the Alabama Department of Public Health website and include as much information as possible to locate the birth certificate, such as full name, date of birth, sex, county or city of birth, hospital of birth, full maiden name of mother, full name of father, etc.

Send the above information and the appropriate fee to:

Alabama Vital Records

P.O. Box 5625

Montgomery, Alabama 36103-5625

You may also go to any county health department in the State of Alabama to obtain a certified copy of an Alabama birth certificate. Most birth certificates can be issued while you wait.
