How do I get a copy of my Birth Certificate?

Question

I live in Louisiana and I lost my Birth Certificate...How do I get a copy and is there a way i can get it for free and if not how much does it cost.I am getting married on July 28 and I need my Birth Certificate.

Answer 1

Call the town clerk in the town where you were born, and ask for a certified copy.

Or, look on the internet and see if there are services that can get you a certified copy, so you don't have to do the hassle. (I just had to do this myself, for another reason).

I would imagine that the cost might be like $20.

Good luck, and congratulations on your marriage!
