Processing Times
Although we at FastBirthCertificates pride ourselves on our ability to streamline and simplify the process of ordering a Texas birth certificate online, please keep in mind that there are factors outside our control. It is not in our power to speed up the processing time of the government agency that handles your birth certificate. Furthermore, the postal service also requires time to get your documents to your address.
For Texas vital records, including birth certificates, most orders will be processed within 20-25 state business days.
