It depends where you were born. I beleive if you go to the NYC office you can only get your birth ceritificate there if you were born in one of the 5 bouroughs.

If you were born on LI you would have to go to the town hall of the hospital were you were born. It should be the same place you go to get your marriage license if you are getting that in LI.
