Connecticut Birth Certificate Application

A birth certificate in Connecticut is an important legal document that allows you to prove identity, age, and American citizenship. It is often the required form of ID, when applying for:

A U.S. passport
Government benefits
Enrollment in school
The U.S. military

It is also requested to prove your right to be employed in the United States. In Connecticut, birth certificates are issued by the Office of the State Registrar of Vital Statistics.

If you need to request an authorized copy, you will need to obtain it from the state where you were born or directly the county where you were born. This means that you cannot ask the Connecticut vital record office to issue your birth certificate if you were born outside of Connecticut.

However, if you were born in Connecticut then you may request a birth certificate from this state.

For a certified copy of your state of Connecticut birth certificate, please complete our online form and follow the set of personalized instructions we provide to receive the authorized copy of your birth certificate.

You may only obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate from the state where the event occurred. If you were born in Connecticut then you may request a birth certificate from this state. For births occurring on or after 2003, you may request a certified copy of the birth certificate from any town vital records office or the State Vital Records Office.

For births occurring prior to 2003, copies can only be requested from the vital records office of the town where the birth occurred, or the town of the mother’s residence at the time of birth, or the Connecticut Vital Records Office. You will be able to obtain a birth certificate from the Connecticut (CT) vital records office or the county recorders such as the ones in: Fairfield County, Hartford County, New Haven County, and the cities of Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford, Hartford, Waterbury, among others.
