Individuals who were born in Colorado (regardless of county of birth or residence) may purchase state-certified copies of their birth certificates at the Recording Office located in the George Di Ciero City and County Building at 1 DesCombes Drive. Birth certificates are issued by appointment.

In order to receive a birth certificate the following documentation is required:

• One item from the Primary List (no expired documents accepted); OR
• Two items from the Secondary List (any document expired more than six months will not be accepted)

If the applicant is not able to provide acceptable documentation, a parent, spouse, grandparent, adult sibling or adult child may provide appropriate identification to request the birth certificate as long as proof of relationship can be documented.
