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.

Do all birth certificates have a local file number and birth number?

Not all birth certificates have a local file number and a birth number, as the format and content can vary by jurisdiction and country. Typically, a local file number is used for internal record-keeping by the issuing authority, while a birth number may serve as a unique identifier for the individual. Some jurisdictions may incorporate both, while others might not use them at all. It's essential to check with the specific issuing authority to understand the details of their birth certificates.

The state government also plays a role in overseeing the issuance of birth certificates and ensuring consistency in the process across different counties.
