Birthday search questions
Where can I find someone's birthday online for free?
Birth records in the United States are maintained at the state level by vital records offices, health departments, and county clerks. Use the state links on this page to access the official vital records office for the state of birth. NARA provides federal genealogy resources that can help identify the state or county where a birth record should be requested.
Are birth records public information?
Access to U.S. birth records varies by state. Older historical records (typically 75-100+ years old) are often public. More recent records are usually restricted to the registrant, immediate family, or a legal representative under each state's vital records law.
How do I order an official birth certificate?
Contact the vital records office of the state where the birth occurred. Most states accept online, mail, and in-person requests. Fees and required identification vary by state. Use the official state links on this page to start.
