Birth Certificates
Congratulations on the birth
of your new Little Texas!
In the first couple of days after the birth, while you are tucked into bed learning to care for your newborn and yourself, we’ll be working on paperwork behind the scenes. One of the things we do is prepare your baby’s birth records and send them to Texas Vital Statistics so they can create the legal birth certificate. This link tells you more about what’s involved in that process.
Step 1: Fill out the “Birth Certificate” tab on the portal. Put as many details on there as possible.
Step 2: We will enter the information on that form into the Vital Statistics Database and bring you a document called “Verification of Birth Facts” at your 1st visit
Step 3: After you review and sign it the Verification, we’ll Certify it and Release it to the State.
Step 4: Your child’s social security card will automatically be sent to you in about 2-4 weeks.
Step 5: You can log in to Texas Vital Statistics to order the birth certificate.
You can request and purchase a certified copy of your child’s birth certificate from the local registrar’s office located in the city or county where the birth occurred, or from the Texas Vital Statistic office located in Austin, Texas. Click here to learn about both options:
