Birth Certificate Georgia

Answer 3

Whoever told you to get the record from the hospital doesn't know what they are talking about. You get your birth certificate from either the county clerk of the county you were born in or you get it from Georgia's vital records office. It is usually faster (and cheaper) to get the record from the county. All you have to do is google for the address and phone #. Then call and find out how much they charge and if they require a check or money order. Then request it via mail. And once you get it, get yourself a steel or metal box which holds 8x11 documents and keep it in that box along with your social security card (which you should NEVER carry around with you). Keep the box your entire life and you will never lose important documents e.g. leases, insurance papers, copies of tax returns, etc. (And get your parent's a metal box too - they seem to need one).
