Birth Certificates

Vital Statistics is responsible for collecting data and issuing birth and death certificates.  The collection of health data regarding causes of death, low birth weights, adolescent pregnancy, and other health trends provides information about factors, which drive the need for Public Health programs.  Public Health is able to issue copies of birth certificates for anyone born in Colorado, regardless of the county in which they were born. The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) issues state certified birth certificates for any individual born in Colorado since 1903. Certified birth certificates are needed to obtain a Colorado Driver's License, identification Card or Driver's Permit, as well as for proof of employment, U.S. Passport applications, school enrollment, extracurricular activities, sports, and to apply for county social services and programs.  Hospital birth certificates with baby's footprints are not legal documents.

Certified copies may be issued to:

  • The registrant (person named on the birth certificate),

  • Parents,

  • Grandparents**,

  • Stepparents**,

  • Siblings**,

  • Spouse**,

  • Adult children/grandchildren of the registrant**, or

  • Legal court appointed guardian**.

    **Proof of relationship is required.

 Identification Required

In order to receive a copy of a birth or death certificate, the individual making the request must have a valid state ID or drivers license and prove their relationship to the person on the certificate.  (This requirement does not include parents.)  In lieu of a photo ID, the applicant can submit two of the following forms of identification: a current paycheck stub with the company name and applicants name; a social security card that is not laminated; a current car registration, car title or voter registration.  If you cannot provide acceptable documentation, it is suggested that you ask a parent, spouse, grandparent, adult sibling or adult child who can provide appropriate identification to request the birth certificate.  Proof of relationship is required such as state-issued birth certificate or state-issued marriage licenses.
