Birth Certificate

mrsnala

When did you recieve LOs? We live in PA since it probably differs state to state

I wonder if it even goes further to the county level.  We live in Upstate NY by the state capital and received Emme's birth certificate about two and a half weeks after she was born.

We live in MI. We won't receive a copy and will have to go to the county clerk's office to get one. Had to do the same for DS1.

Same for us.

We got ours several weeks ago now. It was issued out of our county. They just sent a letter which I had to have notarized and sent it back in with a check, then they mailed me the certificate.

Same for us in Florida. They sent us his social security card though.

I live in pa too and I was on the phone on the phone on hold for over an hour about this! They say usually it takes 6 weeks or more but our insurance company wants a copy of it, so they rushed it for us. So annoying since he was only on my insurance under my name for 30 days. There was going to be a big gap without coverage because of waiting. We already got the SSN card thankfully.

We have to request and pay for it.  We haven't yet.

I'm in PA too. We got it quickly. Maybe two weeks? Before her SSN came I know.

I ordered a birth certificate while I was still in the hospital and it arrived about 3 weeks later.  (In VA)

I had to order mine online from TX Vital Statistics. $22 per copy! Ridiculous.

I also live in Florida and we got ours before we discharged from the hospital! They mailed his social security two weeks later.

I'm also in PA and hers came around 2 weeks.

This is the same for us too.  Although I think this time I got info on requesting it via mail, rather than going in.

The county he was born in sent it in the mail three weeks after he was born.

I'm fairly certain it's a county thing. The BC lady came to my room before discharge and completed everything. She then printed off the SS confirmation and advised me LO's BC would be available the next day!!! We picked it up a couple days later and her SS card arrived 2 weeks later!

I live in FL.

I'm in MI too but I just have to fill out a form and send it in along with a cashier's check and a copy of my driver's license. I haven't done it yet... but I need to soon, especially since LO was born in November. 

Does anyone know if you need the birth certificate for tax purposes? Or will his SS card and the "verification of live birth" paper that we used for insurance work?
