Birth Certificates

Baker County Health Department

Vital Statistics

To protect the privacy of sensitive information and to prevent identify theft, Birth Certificates are not public records. As required by state law, we restrict access to these certificates, but they are readily available to the individuals, family members, guardians, or beneficiaries. We require requesting individuals to produce photo identification and/or other documentation before releasing these confidential records or portions of the records.

There are fees associated with obtaining these records:

  • Baker County Births: $15.00
  • All other Florida counties from 1990-present: $15.00 each certified copy

Obtaining a Birth Certificate

Any person born in the State of Florida can receive a copy of their birth certificate at the Florida Department of Health in Baker County (DOH-Baker) by accomplishing the following:

  • Complete a birth certificate application (available at the health department)
  • Provide proof of identification
  • Meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years old.
