Vital Statistics

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.
