How to Conduct a Birth Certificate Search Domestically and Internationally
If you need to find proof of citizenship or are simply looking to complete a family tree, a birth certificate search is in order. Many good resources online can help you speed your search, but things differ from state to state and from country to country. It can take some time, but the results are usually worth the work.
International Birth Certificates
For parents of internationally adopted children, get a certified copy at the time of adoption and guard it carefully. It can be very difficult to obtain another copy, and you really do want the original for sentimental reasons as well.
Many countries now run online vital statistics websites. Language can be a real barrier, though. If you want to search a foreign database and don’t speak the language, you may try emailing to see if you can find an English speaker who is willing to be helpful at the vital statistics office. Otherwise, if the search is of sufficient importance, you might want to look into utilizing the services of a translator for a few hours.
Searching in Europe can be both a positive and negative experience. On the continent, many records were destroyed during the World Wars. On the other hand, some records, especially church records, can go back quite far. It is a mixed blessing. You can even look through the 1292 of Paris.
Birth Certificates in the United States
While each state maintains birth records, the specifics of how and where change from state to state. Some states keep records in a central vital records office, others allow specific cities to hold their own records separate from the State. There is no consistent formula right now.The only way to deal with this is to contact the specific state you desire and find out.
Many states also offer fancy Heirloom birth certificates for a higher fee. These certificates are colorful, declare the individual a native of their particular state, and generally make a better presentation. They are, however, commemorative certificates and NOT legal documents, which means that they are fine for a family tree or decoration, but not for identification.
Find Old Birth Certificates in the US
If you are searching within the United States and are looking for older records, your best bet is to use a birth certificate search service. They don’t need as much detail as the state, and you can cross-reference by including details that may not have entered the State’s consideration. By applying your knowledge to the situation, you may have a better chance at locating your family’s history than some unknown clerk sitting half a dozen states away.
