Drove 40 minutes to get a birth cert printed out and their hours say open online. They neglected to update to say closed to the public. So wasted my time and I paid for parking.

Drove all the way here and they are closed. The mayor mandated masks so fine. Everything else is open so there is no reason for this.

They were very cool and you know they didn't try to give you any problems you know when you walk through the metal detector you know you have to know empty out your pockets and everything but otherwise it wasn't no problem and I think once I was finished they told me to have a nice day tell me what door to go out of and that was it

I have a copy of my birth certificate but it does not show the time of birth. Is there any record that would show that. I was born in Cleveland Heights at Doctors Hospital which no longer exists. Thank you

Dennis M | Sep 16, 2020
Paul Byrum | Sep 16, 2020

You are asking a question of the Google Community not the staff or management of the Ohio Dept. Of Vital Statistics. I would call an ask them. However, I feel this would fall under the Franklin County Coroner's Office or whatever county your Mom passed away in. I seriously doubt anyone is going to have an autopsy report from over 50 years ago.
