Getting Your Baby’s
Birth Certificate

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. Here are the 5-simple steps to get your baby’s birth certificate.

Step 1: Fill out the “Birth Certificate” tab on the portal. Put as many details on there as possible.

Step 2: We will generate a document called “Verification of Birth Facts” and bring it to your 2-day post birth appointment.

Step 3: You’ll sign the document, we’ll Certify it and Release it to the State.

Step 4: Your child’s social security card will automatically be sent to you. It should arrive within 2-4 weeks of when we signed and released it to them.

Step 5: 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:
