After an adoption is finalized, how can I get a new birth certificate for the adopted person?
A9. For adopted persons born in Ohio or in a foreign country, new birth certificates are obtained from the Ohio Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics. Upon receipt of a completed Certificate of Adoption (HEA Form 2757), the Bureau of Vital Statistics will seal the original birth certificate of the adopted person and issue a new birth certificate listing the adoptive parent(s) as the parent(s) of the adopted person.
