A certified copy of your birth certificate is an important document. 

Certified Birth and Death Certificates are available at the Calhoun County Health Department.

You may have a hospital issued record of birth with your footprints on it or a plain paper copy, but neither of these are recognized as an official certified birth certificate.  A certified copy of your birth certificate is needed for many things:  obtaining a driver’s license and passport, applying for social security and social service benefits, and entering school or the military.  A computer-generated certificate that contains the State File Number is accepted as the official certification of birth and recognized as such by all agencies. 

  • Birth Certificates for all Florida births from 1930 to the present
  • Computer copy of Birth Certificate is $12.00 for each certified copy
