What is the Procedure for Recording Unrecorded or Missing Birth Certificates?
• Submit to probate court an application for birth registration. Attach a letter indicating that a search has been made and no evidence can be found of a birth registration. If the birth occurred prior to December 20, 1908, the letter must be from the probate court of the county where the birth occurred. If the birth occurred after December 20, 1908, the letter must be from the Ohio Department of Health, Division of Vital Statistics.
