Will the certificate be
certified?

certified copies of birth certificates. These documents are
acceptable for passport, social security, employment and
personal identification purposes. The certificates have raised
seals.
Can I order wallet-size or short-form
Certificates?
Currently, we do not provide these
documents. BirthCertificate.net only obtains certificates
acceptable for passport, social security, employment and
personal identification purposes.
If I call, can you conduct a search
and provide information from the certificate over the
phone?
We currently provide searches for
certificates only in the San Francisco Bay Area counties. The
search is handled through Probus Research. The fee is $25.00.
We can refer you to other service companies for searches in
other jurisdictions. Please call 415-440-9100 to order a
search or get a referral.
BirthCertificate.net is a private company and not a
public or government agency. We do not have in office access
to vital record databases and cannot pre-screen the accuracy
of the information you provide on your request.
How much does shipping
cost?
There is no first class mailing surcharge. We
offer Rush Express service for an additional $25.00 fee. Rush
service provides the quickest turnaround time available
anywhere. International Rush delivery is $35.00.

Rush Service?
Our courier choice differs by county.
We use the best service available in the jurisdiction for
which the certificate is ordered. Note: Rush Service requires
your signature upon receipt.
How quickly can I get my
certificate?
Turnaround time differs by
jurisdiction and your service option. Standard 1st Class Mail

days, depending on jurisdiction.

provides the quickest turnaround time available.
