We filled out paperwork at the hospital before we left.  It took 3-4 months to get the birth certificate back in the mail.

About 2 months.

Answer 8

In some states, it can be up to 6 weeks to 2 months.  With my first, I received it about 2 weeks after sending the paperwork in.  My other 3 I didn't even request a birth certificate until months and years after they were born, when I went to the state vital records office, stood in line, and received the birth certificates within minutes of putting in the paperwork and the money.  Of course, waiting in line was the long part, especially with 4 kids!

Answer 9

all the paperwork was done before we left the hospital..and i didn't recieve the papers to order the birth cert. until he was 5 months old
