Florida Birth Records
The State Office of Vital Statistics receives many requests from customers for birth records in order to conduct official business and travel. Florida has been issuing computer certification since the mid 1980's, which is accepted by the U.S. Passport Office, the Social Security Administration, courts, school districts, and all other state and federal entities and cruise lines requiring proof of U.S. birth. Florida's certification is a computer certification that contains an embossed seal incorporated into the security paper, which meet requirements established by Homeland Security and other national and international groups. Some county offices carry birth records, others do not. Many have different offices for handling specific types of vital records and holdings may vary. It is recommended that you call or write the county offices to check your best option for getting the information you need. County Selection List
