I cannot find my daughters birth certificate. How do I get another one in NY state?
I just went through this myself. Here is what I found. It is easier to request online I thought. So you can go to the state health office or do it by email/phone/mail on this site: http://www.health.state.ny.us/vital_reco… Here is the text from the site: Birth Certificates Where do I obtain a birth certificate copy for someone born in New York City? The New York State Department of Health does not file and cannot issue copies of New York City birth certificates. For births in one of the five (5) boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Kings, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island), please visit the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene web site. Please note that the borough of Kings is sometimes referred to as Brooklyn and the borough of Staten Island is sometimes referred to as Richmond. Where do I obtain a birth certificate copy for someone born in New York State outside of New York City?
