Who can order?

Pennsylvania is a closed record state, meaning birth certificates are not part of public records. This means only the following individuals may secure a certified copy of a birth certificate after filling out the forms, paying the appropriate fees, and providing the necessary legal documents and identification:

The person named on the record (registrant)

The registrant’s parent/s listed on the record

The registrant’s immediate family (spouse, step parent, grandparent or adult child/grandchild of the registrant along with a signed authorization from the registrant and a copy of the registrant’s ID if they are 18 or older)

Legal guardians

Legal representatives of the named individuals

If the registrant is deceased, other family members may also obtain a copy upon showing the registrant’s death certificate
