PSA: MoCo/MD Birth Certificates...

I was dreading getting a birth cert for DD, since I'm notoriously bad at getting paperwork, etc. done... I thought I'd have to mail something in, or take a trip to Baltimore...

NOPE!

You can order MD birth certificates online!  YAY!

    I did this for DS's birth certificate (from Calvert County) and it came really quickly! There was a fee, but to me it was worth not having to make a trip to some office and stand in line, blah, blah...

    It's great!  They are pretty quick too.  I think it only took about a week to get one for DS.

    And you have to pay $12 per copy plus a $6 processing fee.

    I'm confused. We filled out something at the hospital for her birth which I thought was for her birth certificate but was it for something different? I need to get her birth certificate and SSN soon so that I can apply for her passport for a trip in December.

    I delivered at Shady Grove and it was taken care of.  I can't remember if they sent the paper in or gave me a paper to send in, but either way, it was easy.

    Me too. They give you the paper to mail in...you just check how many copies you need and send a check. I think I had everything within 2 weeks after mailing it.

    They gave me a letter/paper at the hospital... but, it got lost in the shuffle, and like I said - I'm not good with paperwork.

    Paying a $6 processing fee was way faster than me needing to go through looking for the paper, finding a stamp and an envelope, dropping it in the mail, etc. 

    I got 2 copies, and I think I paid $40?  That was with express shipping.  Well worth it, IMO.  But, I hate dealing with this stuff.
