I honestly don't know if you can.  If you know the county you can start there.  If you know the state get in touch with the records department and see if they can help you.

You would contact the birth certificates division and the hospital where you where born and from the city birth records division and if it's in New York you could contact them by email after looking them up on the internet, whereever you are at and request it from then, now if they charge anything for this or not i don't know for sure.

Birth certificates don't have phone numbers. You want the Department of Records in your state capital.

The county clerk's office can issue certified copies of a birth certificate.  I'm not sure exactly what form of identification is required, but I assume it will be at least a social security card.  I believe there's also a charge which varies from county to county.

I don't know where you live but in Florida you can go to the local Health Department Office and pay $12.00 and get your birth certificate there.  Even if it is from another state. My daughter just did it a couple of months ago.

you need to send to the City Clerk or the Birth Registry\nof the person at the city where they were born.

Even if you search the most complete directories available on the internet, they are only phone directories, so you will never be certain. Obviously, they don't include children, people with unlisted numbers, etc.\n\nIf you are truly ambitious, you could try contacting the City Clerk's office for every municipality on the earth and request a search of birth and death certificates. Undoubtedly this will take up so much time that you will not be able to do anything else for several years, but at the end of it, you MAY have an answer. \n\nDoes it really matter?

Hello of course hospitals don't keep birth certificates ( at least in the US)  you merely contact the state where you were born, they have birth certificate departments that will issure you a new one.\n\nNext you merley get a form ( from post offfice or social security office)  for a lost social security card.  You may the form in with small fee and they send you a new one ( same number just new one)\n\nSo yes all your ID exists you are just not asking for new copies.

Either way you need to contact the Indian High Commission. Make sure you register the birth in the UK at the registrar of births marriages and deaths - contact the local council, the hospital will have details.

You can try on http://www.zoominfo.com/ if you know your friend's name and surname, you can also consult the birth register in your town or even online (try to yahoo "birth register records"). You can otherwise go to http://records.com/default.php , but I think you may have to pay something for that service.

You need to contact the Department of Vital Statistics in the city you were born in. In some states, you may actually have to contact that office in the state capitol building instead of the local courthouse. First, check with the office located in the county where you wre born.

Google the State you were born in: for instance type into Google: florida birth certificate\nIt will take you to a site that will guide you to the county you were born in, and how to order, i think it's around $12 bucks. You have to show I.D., some will allow you to fax in your info and do it with a credit card, rather than snail mail all the info, $$ etc.

Go to the state and county courthouse where the birth and death is filed. Usually cost a couple bucks to get them.

Birth certificates are not issued by the federal government.  It really depends on what state you are in as to what agency you contact for a birth certificate.  Most likely, you will need to go to a county clerk, which should have a copy of birth records.
