Where do I pick up the birth certificate

MLvK

Mother of the year right here!  I know Liam turned 2 yesterday, but I have to get his b/c before we leave town.   If I had him at North Fulton hospital, where do I go to pick it up?   I think I can have it mailed and I KNOW I can call NFH to find all this out, but if someone has this info handy, I'd love that!

You have to go to the Vital Records -

I think you can get it at a county office sometimes too

Most county offices will do it. We just went to pick Parker's up a few weeks ago from the one in Marietta and I had him at North Fulton.

Thanks. I went to Cobb Cty vital records today and was in and out.  Of course there is a type-o.   Apparently, you have 1 year to correct any type-o's for no charge.  I waited 2 years, so its $10 for the correction.

I need to do this too! Do you have to call in advance or just show up?

You can just show up.

Did they change it then? They made a mistake on Lila's and said dh was born in Ukraine instead of the United Kingdom (I put UK as country of birth and clearly the person read that as Ukraine) and I noticed it when I picked it up and they said they had to mail it to me - after I brought in his passport and birth certificate to prove it was the UK. I was ticked.

you can also do it online at https://vitalchek.com/ but there is a fee for it.
