To apply for a birth certificate:

• You must be a parent listed on the certificate, a legal representative, a legal guardian (with court appointed papers), or the individual listed on the certificate.
• You must be at least 18 years of age, and must have state issued identification.

Certificates are available for the State of Florida only. Applications for other states may be obtained from our office.
