Can you go to the hospital where you were born and ask to see your original birth certificate,if you were ado?

This person knows what hospital they were born at this person also knows the mother's name at the time of birth, And that they were not adopted at the time of birth. Can you go to the hospital?who would we ask to speak with? Do they even still have documents from the 60's ?

    You would have to contact the Department of Vital Records in the birthplace of the person, although you will not be able to retrieve information of another person, unless they are you child, and they are under 18.

    Probably not. Most Hospitals get rid of records after 10 years or so. What state was your friend born in? Search for "California Vital Statistics" or whatever state, and you will most certainly find instructions on how to order a new birth certificate. Hospitals will be pretty much useless in this case.

    No, the hospital will not be able to fill your request, by law. You might be able -- with birth mom's written permission -- get HER records from the hospital. Yes, hospitals keep records from back that far.

    Plus, birth certificates are amended after adoptions. You should ask an adoption attorney about the laws in that State.

    I am not sure which country you are from but I think the protocol is probably the same, you are entitled to see our own birth certificate as it is a primary form of identification, the hospital should have all the records but if somehow they don't I would suggest you go to the Department of Home Affairs, they would most likely be able to help you.

    somewhat, human beings born interior the 80s are people who have been given to adventure the essence of the 90s somewhat greater vividly. They have been previous sufficient to remember the decade, the music, the style tendencies, the toys, and so on. somebody actually born interior the 90s, did no longer completely adventure the 90s. no longer somewhat interior a similar way.
