anyone know how to obtain a certified copy???

I was able to get mine from the town hall

i hear that if you go to one of 5 boroughs of the city--your license is enough.

in long island they usually require the certificate.

for a certified copy you would either have to send away for it or go to the town hall of the town that you were born in...and request one in person.

i lost my birth certificate 2 times lol

Its very easy to get a new one.

Where were you born?

You just call the town hall, and they will send it out to u

I just went to the town hall of hempstead and if i heard correctly, they are the only ones in nassau where you don't need a birth certificate. she told me that a license and passport were enough.

I went to Hempstead to get our license and we needed our birth certificates. Without them they said we couldn't get the license.

Just get your license in the city or any of the 5 boroughs...all you need is your driver's license.

Probably easier that way- DH and I just went to where ever was closer and faster for us which ended up being Hempstead Town Hall.

I just had to go last week to get a copy of my birth certificate because when I applied for a passport they lost it! You have to go to the town hall of where you were born, it cost $10 to get the copy. There is a form you can fill out and have it sent to you for $15 bucks... but when I did that they wrote back saying they could not find my records So I just went to smithtown town hall and it took two minutes!
Good luck!

thanks everyone!! I added this to my notebook!!!!! You guys are awesome!!!
