How do we obtain a Delaware Birth Certificate?

Birth Certificates are obtained from the Delaware State Office of Vital Statistics. Your Loved One can complete the form and mail the request, complete the online application and pay with a credit card or make an appointment to go in person. Cost is $25 payable when the application is submitted. During the COVID-19 pandemic, walk-ins are not accepted at the office locations. Appointments can be made by calling the office nearest you.

If your Loved One was born out of state, you will need to contact the Office of Vital Statistics to get the contact information for the state in which you were born. You may be able to go on-line, fill out the application and with a credit card, order it. BE CAREFUL not to order any birth certificates from any websites other than an official state government website. Your Loved One’s Probation Officer can request a copy of their birth certificate at no cost.
