Upon the birth of a child, you will be given a birth certificate application to complete before you leave the hospital. This form is sent to the County government to be processed and recorded. A confirmation of the birth will be mailed directly to your home within three weeks. After this time, you will need to obtain the birth certificate from the county health department. This process usually takes four to six weeks.
