Be prepared for long lines and a lot of waiting around--but once you get in, getting a copy of a record is pretty straightforward using the kiosks.

Sent my sister the wrong birth certificate, not for our father as requested but for someone whose birthday & name were not even close. Took 3 months for the wrong one to arrive to Texas.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I need to amend my birth certificate. Does anyone know where the amendment application form on their website? No one there will ever return phone messages. I live several states away.

Jeri Tornes | Sep 30, 2019
Dmitriy Krantsberg | Sep 30, 2019

There's no form. You need to come to the Vital Records office (legal department) and tell them what exactly you need to amend. Some things they can amend right there, for others you'd need to get a family court order first. In any case make sure you bring all the supporting documentation with you.
