Frequently asked questions
Who can order a birth certificate?
Most states issue certified copies to the person named on the record, their parents, legal guardians, and certain immediate family members or legal representatives. During checkout you'll tell us your relationship to the record holder, and we'll flag anything the state won't accept before placing the order.
Is this a certified copy I can use for a passport?
Yes. We order certified copies issued by the state vital records office — the same long-form certified copies accepted for U.S. passport applications, REAL ID, and other official purposes.
How long does it take?
It depends on the state. Each state's current estimate is shown when you select it above; Rush service uses expedited handling with the state where available.
What's included in the price?
Your total is our service fee (Standard or Rush) plus the state's own government fee, shown separately before you pay. There are no hidden charges.
What if my state isn't available?
A few states restrict third-party ordering. If yours is one of them, contact us — our team can walk you through ordering directly from the state.
