Birth Certificates

Birth certificates are not issued by hospitals. If you need to order a certified copy of a birth certificate, please visit the Oregon Health Authority website. To make this process easier for new parents, mothers in our Family Birth Center are provided with the appropriate form to request a copy of the birth certificate from the state.
