Birth Certificates

Attention.

To falsify information, documents or materials with the fraudulent intent of obtaining or using a Florida Vital Statistics Record/Birth Certificate constitutes a third degree criminal felony punishable as set forth in the Florida Statutes.

*Do not mistake the birth record, given by a hospital where the child was born, to be the same as a certified birth certificate (as required). The birth certificate is a more authoritative credential.
