Does California automatically send birth certificates?

Are birth certificate copies sent automatically after the child is born? No, the hospital reports the birth information to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health only. Once registered, you must submit an application and fee to obtain the record.

How do I contact California vital records?

Please do not send cash. To verify current fees, the telephone number is (916) 445-2684. This will be a recorded message, with an option to talk to a customer service representative. Information on how to obtain certified copies is also available via the California Department of Public Health website.

What happens if you dont get a birth certificate for your baby?

If parents dont register the birth of their child, there will be no permanent legal record of the child. This will greatly hinder the childs ability to get a job, file taxes, or even obtain medical treatment. Overall, registering is an essential responsibility that will ensure a child can live a normal life.
