In PA, your not allowed to do it anymore. How about in NYC? She was born in Brooklyn.

You'll have to produce her death certificate and be able to prove your relation to her or you'll have to have her signed consent which has been notarized.

If she is still living. Go online & search for birth certificates by state. They should have an order form that she can sign to get an official copy of the birth certificate.

every state has its own laws regarding vital statistics and their availability.

Here's the rules for NY... you don't mention if grandma is alive or not, or when she was born. We can't assume anything around here.. my grandfather was born in the 1830s.
And yes.. more states are tightening the rules for both birth and death certificates. Both are misused for ID theft.

I don't see any reason why you should not be allowed to do that. You can in Ohio. They are a matter of public record.

You should be able to do it considering you are her granddaughter. My husband went and paid for a birth cert for his grandfather.
