The people who work here are miserable, rude, unhelpful, unkind, poor listeners, and apparently don't even understand their own requirements and procedures (or don't care enough to represent them accurately). If you can avoid dealing with this office in person, do so. If you must go, bring patience (and perhaps a stiff drink). Good luck.

Not sure why any time you encounter anything associated with the Gov't, that nine times out of ten you deal with negative attiudes and dismissive behavior. Is that a part of the job description? We were greeted by security professionally and respectfully, I thought the rest of the visit would go smooth -NOT!
Be sure to have $20.00 Money order. (birth certificate cost). Take a Number. Bring your own black pen to fill out paper work. Some of their pens don't work . They do birth and death certificates for STATE OF PENNYSYVANIA ONLY. . Be prepared to wait. Try to remain calm and patient-This might be your testing day. And if you can't have a good day- don't go messing someone else's 🙂 as they may try to mess up yours. You have been warned!!(Thanks Tabitha B.)
Yes, you can place an order for a birth certificate at the office (as long as you fill out the appropriate form and have a $20 money order on hand). You can then request to pick it up in person in 5 business days or have it mailed to you a few business days after that.
As stated it is appointment only. If you have access to a computer you can apply for the Birth certificate and request an appointment through the Vital Records web page. My request took 2 days.
Yes, but it's $30 if you place the order online versus $20 if you request it in person. It also takes 5-7 weeks to be mailed to you if you order it online.
We applied for our birth certificates on May 23. We were told that it would take 7-10 business days to receive them by mail. Today is day 12. When can we expect to receive them? We need them in order to apply for passports. Thank you.
John Gabert | Oct 4, 2018
Angela Broxton | Oct 4, 2018
Usually its 7-10 days AFTER they process it. That's how they get you . Most people don't see that. It could take 1 to 2 weeks to process THEN 7 to 10 days to mail out. Good luck
I suggest you take your receipt your identification and personally go down to the office and pick up your death certificates they are still hanging out at the office they don't send them out on time and expediate them they make you come down to the office and pick them up sorry that's the way they are good luck Godspeed

Virginia Perez-Baez | May 6, 2022
H20.Clapalot YouTube | May 6, 2022
Not certain about death certificate however Veteran's records are free if you had to get a birth certificate then it's $20 the lines aren't law and the service is quick however you have to come back maybe the next day or two days pick up your information
It's quicker if you go there in person. I went on a Monday, paid $20 and it was ready for pickup that same Friday. I believe if you do it online, it's $20 plus a $10 processing fee and it takes 2 weeks to be delivered.

Morgan Godley | Dec 7, 2021
Pros and cons of online or in person. Online is convenient if you are immobile, it just takes a little longer. Make sure you have accurate information, fill in all the blanks. What ever address is on paying credit card is where paperwork will be mailed to. In person is quick but must you also fill the paperwork out correctly. What's good about in person is the corrections can be addressed immediately and you're on your way. Visit the office early and next day you pick it up or have it mailed. Money orders are accepted also. Hope this helps.

It's best if you go early. Some days are more crowded than others.
Yes. If you are having it mailed, the address on your license must match the address it's being sent to. If you are going back to pick up in person the address can be different. It's much faster to go pick it up anyway but I know it can be inconvenient to go twice. Make sure you have a money order, they do not accept cash/cards.

Now it is to late. You must go back to them and it will take time to correct.

It all depends on how many people are in line waiting to get their birth certificate and sometimes there's not too many people around sometimes there's a lot of people so it all depends on how many people are there. It's like a 50-50 chance so good luck

How much the birth certificate cost
Angela Tucker | Oct 4, 2018
Samuel Ansbach | Oct 4, 2018
$20 check or money order unless you are a veteran of the US Military then you need to present your valid military identification then it will be free
You can pay by check or money order if you request it in person and the cost is $20.
If you request it online you can pay by credit card and it costs $30 but I think it takes longer to receive it compared to the 5 business days it takes when you request it in person.
Do yourself a favor, read the website first, plan to go early, have a 20.00 money order, your ID READY and take a number. Fill out the form , and wait. Then they'll tell you when to come back to pick up your birth certificate.
At the Philadelphia vital records and statistics it's located at 110 North 8th Street in Philadelphia PA you go down I 676 Vine Street get off at the 8th Street exit and be careful because it is very close and it will be on your right hand side it is hard to see but it is before you get to the convention center and you need check or money order only and you need your identification driver's license will do or some kind of ID
U can get a copy of ss card by taking your vaccine record with ur primary doctors stamp and hand written signature. Once u have social. Take that and 2 pieces of mail from ur current address and u can apply for birth certificate. Finally u can use those items to get ur state id.
It is $20 / certificate. It is check or money order and when you go down there and you pay you need your two forms of identification. There will be a 5-day waiting period for you to be able to pick up your birth certificates when you do pick up your birth certificates you will need the receipt and your ID
If you are looking for the phone number for Philadelphia vital statistics you can find it on Google however it would be a waste of time of phoning them because very rarely do they ever answer the phone and yes it is 110 North 8th Street number 108 in Philadelphia it is a little difficult so you have when you go down 8th Street go very slowly it will be on your right hand side as you're going down 8th Street the numbers on the door are very small and I don't even think they're on the door I think they're on the building yes they are open today however tomorrow being the parade I don't know if they are open but they will be open on Friday. Good luck and the cost per birth certificate is $20 unless you are a veteran and have your DD-214 or other proof of being a veteran then the birth certificates are free
You can only get same-day service if you go to Scranton PA that is the only location for same day service all other locations there's a five-day waiting. 5 business day waiting. Period
There is only one place in Pennsylvania that offers same-day service that is Scranton Pennsylvania if you go up there you can get it the same day anywhere else in Pennsylvania there is a wait even in Philadelphia there is no extra charge it is $20 so if you go to Philadelphia it is$20 and there is a 5-day weight and you have to go back and pick up your birth certificate
YOU will need two forms of identification other than that I am not quite sure depending on how old the child is you could probably just go down and request a certificate. You might also want to try calling and Auto Tags dealer who deal in identification purposes and ask them your question

You don't have a regular drivers license..... I'm pretty sure you need a valid ID
No you need the actual social security card for your daughter what you have to do is go down to the Social Security office and get a duplicate card for her
I have no idea. I have never been there. I asked a question about it too and now I keep getting notifications to give people information about a place i have never been to. Lol. Watch out, now that you have asked a question Google Guides will hound you too.
Not without positive identification. I read the website and it says a person can use certain other forms of ID such as a voters registration card, several utility bills and other things that have your name and account number on them. You really should read the website before you go because the line is very long and the people who work there are State employees and don't really care about you not having your birth certificate or any other issue you may be there for. Most of the employees are very old and need to retire. The atmosphere in the place is exactly that. People who don't care and are watching the clock towards their retirement date.
Welcome to the inept city of philadelphia .... honestly the people there are over worked that office gets mobbed every day and their is maybe 4 people staffing it. And it takes longer than they say it does. Be patient. You forgot that the holidays will slow the whole process down.

Did you order it online? If so it will take a long time. If you go to the establishment in Philadelphia then it will take two weeks. You can just call and ask where it is. With something like this you have to be the proactive... Sadly
