US Birth Records Collection 

In the USA, the Vital Records Office of the states, capital districts and territories, and former territories issues birth certificates. Since birth in the USA ensures eligibility for American Citizenship, a birth certificate from the Vital Record Office also enables one to obtain a US passport. A birth certificate issued by the Vital Records Office is a primary form of identification and is often required for various purposes, including obtaining a US passport. 

Birth Records provide details about important milestones in your ancestors’ lives. Birth Records uncover details like, 

• Parents’ names, ages, jobs, and residence

• Birthplaces for both the child and parents

• Baptism or religious information
  
  

And birth records are just the beginning. Delve deeper into our other record collections to learn even more.
