Birth Certificate

[CecileM 0]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get a birth certificate for an American citizen?

We are about to ask the French consulate in L.A for the transcription of our Marriage Certificate. They want a birth certificate where both the names of my husband's parents are written on the paper.

Thank you for your help,

Cecile.

Cecile,

It depends on the state where your spouse was born in. In West Virginia, you would order it from the health statistics center, Vital Registration office and it cost $10. you can just google for it online to see what office deals with the state ur husband is born in (example: "west virginia birth certificate") just make sure you order it directly from the issuing department. i know there are some companies online that can get for you the birth certificates but i think they cost more
