WEST VIRGINIA BIRTH CERTIFICATE
Which Method Should You Choose?
Two Ways to Get a Birth Certificate in West Virginia
The Old-Fashioned Way:
The West Virginia Department of Health & Human Resources has a PDF application that you can download. Be sure to indicate your relationship to the person mentioned on the certificate, or whether you are requesting your own record. You cannot order another party’s record unless you are a relative of that person or have a legal interest in obtaining one of these documents.
The fee for state-certified West Virginia birth certificates is $12 each. Checks and money orders are payable to Vital Registration.
