Question

How soon can i get a certificate of birth for new born child?

Answer 1

it depends how long it takes for them to process the brth and send it out at the dept of births/deaths/marriages.

i applied for one for my daugther as soon as i came home from hospital - the next day - and it didnt come until she was nine weeks old. it shouldnt take thaat long but i was told because alot of babies are being born right now they are 'swamped'.

Answer 2

I filled out the information in the hospital and then just mailed in one little form and got it within a month. It is filed as soon as your child is born though... you might be able to get it faster if you go to the city or township in person instead of doing anything by mail...

Answer 3

From when they are born up to six weeks.  

Answer 4

we live in florida , my son is 6 months old and i just got the applications to order the birth cert. last month

Answer 5

It's taken about a month to get one for both my kids, we lived in NJ and VA respectively when they were born. In NJ, I had to go pick one up after the social card and number arrived. In VA, you just mail away for it 3 weeks after baby is born.  

Answer 6

As soon as he/she is born!
