Answer 1

No, they are not public records in Illinois. Yes, you have to pay for a copy, but can only obtain one if it is for you, or for a child under 18, or the father of the child under 18. Otherwise, the person has to obtain their own.

Answer 2

Birth certificates are most probably NOT public records, but the information is part of the vital statistics which the state will record. There may be a waiting period before the information can be revealed to the public.
If you want a copy of YOUR birth certificate you will have to pay. I doubt that you can get a copy of someone else's birth certificate unless it was an ancestor.
If you live near the court house or the state archives where the person was born, you should be able to go there and see the birth records.

Answer 3

Birth certificates are classified as a vital record...not necessarily a public one.

Most places, birth certificates can only be obtained by the person named on the certificate or a close relative, guardian, or the like.

And yes, there is usually a fee involved.

Contact the vital records (this can be called various things) of the state where the birth occurred to see how to go about obtaining one.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNHfP

Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Answer 5

to get a duplicate, embossed copy you would have to pay.....and prove you were entitled to it. Birth certificates have social security #'s on them and other private information. Although birth information is a matter of public record (how many births in a hospital on a certain day, etc.) specific birth information is protected by privacy laws.
