Where and How to Get a Copy of a Birth Certificate
If you’re performing a background check on someone, you may need the person’s birth certificate in order to verify the name and date of birth, and to locate the parents. Birth certificates in the U.S. list the birth location, and sometimes, the addresses of the parents. If the parents still live at the same address, you can contact them and any neighbors to conduct your research.
Information on the birth certificate includes the names of the parents and the person born, and the date and place of birth. In some localities, more information is provided on the birth certificate, including the parents’ addresses, birthplaces, race and occupations. Any of this information can be helpful to your research.
