Some Delayed Certificates of Birth are on file with dates of birth dating back to the 1860s. In 1940, statutory authority was received by the Office which allowed individuals still alive in 1940 and later with no prior birth record filed to submit certain documentation to file a Delayed Certificate of Birth. A request for a Delayed Certificate of Birth is made in the same manner as one for a regular birth certificate - just specify the date of birth. If the date specified is between the late 1860's and July 1, 1911, a Delayed Certificate of Birth search will be conducted.

State law specifies that the initial $20 fee for a certified birth certificate copy is a five-year record search fee - one certified copy is issued if the record is found and if not found, the fee is retained. You will receive either the certified copy or a letter explaining the search conducted and that no record was located.

If you do not pass the online identity verification you will be required to upload a valid ID.

Immediate family members and/or their respective legal representative may obtain a certified copy of a birth record if the registrant is deceased. An original, certified copy (no photocopies) of the registrant's death record must be submitted with the request. There are no exceptions to this requirement. Birth certificates become public records after 100 years. Then any person may obtain an uncertified copy of the birth certificate, upon submission of application form and fees.
Vital Records Offices stopped accepting requests for short form birth certificates in January 2015.A computer-generated long form can be issued by the state office location - DHEC, 2600 Bull Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201 and by Regional Vital Records Offices (see map).
The information contained on birth records is assumed to be correct as it is. However, sometimes there is an error that was not addressed during the registration process (the incorrect spelling of a name or wrong date of birth). These corrections require you to provide one or more evidences as to what the correct information should have been (like a school record or other record types recommended by our office). These evidences must meet certain regulatory and industry standard requirements.
If you have requested a birth/death certificate in the past 12 months, you may return to the office that issues certificates and notify us as to the specific change you would like to make. If you have not requested a birth/death certificate in the past 12 months, this would be the first step you need to take. You should indicate the correction you wish to make on the application. Staff will review the certificate on file and advise you of the necessary steps. Once the amendment is applied to the record an additional amendment fee of $15 will be due. Records issued within the past year may be replaced at $3 each.
The process of establishing a delayed birth record can be long and require many documents to be submitted. Sometimes it is impossible to get the required documents and the only option is for someone to present what they have to a judge who will then decide what information to put on the birth certificate.
To establish a delayed certificate administratively requires 3 different documents verifying the birth facts claimed are submitted. The documents required are based on the age of the person whose birth certificate is being requested at the time of the application. For a person more than ten years of age, all documents submitted must have been established at least ten years prior to the date of application. For a person ten years or younger, the documents must be dated at least one year prior to the date of the application or within the first year of life. Each document must show the place and the date the document was filed to prove it meets the age criteria.
IMPORTANT* Delayed certificates may not be acceptable for all purposes. Persons desiring to establish a delayed certificate should contact the agency requesting the birth certificate and ask if a delayed certificate will be acceptable for the purposes they are requesting.
Any person who willfully and knowingly provides any false information on a certificate, record or report required by Chapter 382, Florida Statutes, or on an application or affidavit, or who obtains confidential information from any Vital Record under false or fraudulent purposes, commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in Chapter 775, Florida Statutes.
Normal processing time for computer generated birth certificates is 3 to 5 business days, not including shipping time to and from our office. Photocopy generated certificates and amended records require additional processing time.

Letters of verification may be issued in lieu of certified copies (HRS 338-14.3). This document verifies the existence of a birth/death/marriage certificate on file with the Department of Health and any other information that the applicant provides to be verified relating to the vital event. (For example, that a certain named individual was born on a certain date at a certain place.) The verification process will not, however, disclose information about the vital event contained within the certificate that is unknown to and not provided by the applicant in the request.
