Quickest way to a birth certificate?

[JHenley17]

I lost mine and need a certified copy quick, fast, and in a hurry. I ordered one earlier in the week online and was told it was submitted for processing and shipping, processing takes 5-7 business days. Being a state office, I have no faith in things being timely. I really need it in my hands by 12/10. Will the Clerk of Court's office provide a copy in person the same day?

If it is a Louisiana BC go to the office in Baton Rouge. It is located at 353 N 12th St.They will give you one in the spot.

Go in to an office and get one right then. Office of vital statistics I think.

Vital records office

Ok, cool. I did this years ago, but I thought they mailed it to me. Thanks!

West Feliciana clerks office can also print them in the spot for LA. No wait at all

I think any Clerk of Court's office can give you a Birth Card. I got one about 5 yrs ago in Clinton when I needed to prove to DMV what my name was when I wanted them to put my correct name back on my DL. I think it cost $14

I've purchased mine from the Jefferson health unit. Printed out multiple copies. Now I need a new Ssn card.

I didn't think all those places would give certified copies with a seal. That's why I gave him the address to the vital records office.

LOL! Be careful going to those state record offices. I needed a copy of some insurance licensing docs some years ago from the Dept of Insurance. I was directed to a warehouse in Baton Rouge. I walked in, no one in sight, aisles and aisles of boxes of records. A tennis ball came innocently bouncing towards me quickly followed by over a hundred pounds of Rottweiler! It charged me and then waited for me to throw the ball... twenty minutes later and a gallon of slobber I got my copies...

I think that Vital records office in New Orleans was in the same location 50+ years ago.

There are only 3-4 places in the state that can print a CERTIFIED copy on the spot, for some reason west for is one of them. Stopped by and got them for wife and son earlier this year.

You can get a card at the office on 12th street in BR. Probably get a paper copy as well, but I think they have to mail it to you. A few years ago, I had to go to Buffalo and wanted to go to Niagara Falls in Canada and had no passport. Lost my BC in a tornado. With the BC card, you can drive into Canada, but can't fly (go figure). Have a passport now.

Vital records in BR WILL NOT give you anything. They are nothing but a keoisk now. Takes a couple weeks. Had to do it this year for both my kids for school. Only place you can go in and get it is in NOLA

Fnatastic. I'll be lucky to work 100 hours this December. I don't understand why it can't just be printed once your identity is proven.

I will say again, you can walk into the west fel parish clerk of court office( basement of courthouse ) and within 5 minutes walk out with an official certified louisiana birth cert. I believe the cost was around $25. There is never a wait there, leave your hardware in the car as you will go thru a metal detector at the door

Go into any Army Recruiting office. They will be able to tell you how to get it quick, fast and in a hurry. I processed plenty of enlistment packets on recruits that did not have some of or any of their documents when I was a recruiter in Ohio. SSN card, Birth Certificate, HS and/or College Diploma. Once I had a kid that was homeless agreed to join the Army on a Saturday. Took the ASVAB Sunday evening with his fingerprint, wile he was taking the physical the next morning I was out getting his SSN, BC, HS, and police checks had them all in hand and place in his packet before he was done with the physical.

After 8 years, I'm still not familiar with the geography of this end of the state, but I'll keep this in mind if I don't have it by next Monday.
