How Do I Get a Birth Certificate If I’ve Never Had One Before?

For most people, a birth certificate is something they take for granted. They don’t have to think about how to get a new birth certificate, because they’ve had one all along. Of course, if that is not the case in your life, you may have a number of questions. What is a birth certificate? Why is it important to have one? Where can I get one?

Unfortunately, the questions may outnumber the answers at this point. With this blog post, we’d like to show you that this is not an issue which needs to haunt you for the rest of your life. By taking the steps necessary to receive a birth certificate, you can put this matter behind you and move forward confidently.
The Basics

As the name would indicate, a birth certificate is a record which documents the birth of a person. The value of a birth certificate is far-reaching, including providing an individual with a legal identity, enabling them to be enrolled in school, making it possible to obtain a passport, and much more. Simply put, life is going to be rather limited if you do not possess a valid birth certificate which confirms your identity and age.

How Does This Happen?

It might seem like the receipt of a birth certificate is automatic when a child is born, but that is not necessarily the case. The lack of a birth certificate is relatively common in certain situations, such as when a child is born at home, or born in a certain community (such as an Amish community). If the proper paperwork is not completed and submitted, the child may continue to grow without ever receiving this important document. Of course, it won’t be until later on in life that the individual begins to realize how difficult it is to work through a number of different situations without a birth certificate.

Taking Action

If you find yourself in the position of being an adult without a birth certificate, there are steps you can take to rectify the problem. Most importantly, you are going to need to be in possession of some important details regarding your birth. In most cases, this is not going to be a problem. You’ll need to know your date of birth, your gender at birth, and your full name. Also, the names of your parents are likely to be required, and there may be other identity-related questions to answer before you can officially be issued a document. Once you have gathered all your documentation, you’ll want to contact the vital records office in the state you were born to get started.

This is the kind of project which is easy to put off, but don’t make that mistake. If you have never possessed an official birth certificate, get started right away on completing the steps necessary to receive one. Being born without a birth certificate is more common than you might think, and it doesn’t need to stand in your way any longer.

While FastBirthCertificates.com can’t register you for a birth certificate for the first time, we can point you in the direction of your state’s vital records office. And if you ever need to get an official copy of your new birth certificate, you can always quickly and conveniently order it online through us.

I’m in the same boat Ms. Tharrett, my father in law is 81 and was delivered by a midwalife in 1937. There is no record of his birth and we have tried for years to get him a birth certificate. They keep saying “sorry we don’t know what to tell you”. How can No one know how to remedy this problem. Funny how they found a way to get him a social security #. Gosh forbid he not pay in to the government! If anyone has help for us I would be so grateful. 850-293-8183
