What is a birth certificate?
A birth certificate is one of the most important documents that every person should have. Not only are they used by the government to maintain official records, but they’re also necessary for completing a wide range of essential functions.
It is a vital record that establishes the identity of a person and lists the full name, date of birth, place of birth, parent's full name, and other identifying information.
The process of obtaining a birth certificate can be quite complicated and time-consuming, especially if you're doing it on your own. This is where GOV+ comes in.
Traveling abroad
A certified birth certificate is needed as a form of identification when applying for a new or replacement passport. Additionally, when living abroad for extended periods of time, a birth certificate provides vital information needed to complete various government-issued documents.
Replacing a Social Security card
In the case of a lost or stolen Social Security card, a certified birth certificate is needed as a form of personal identification to get a replacement.

A certified birth certificate is one form of identification used to prove your age and identity when applying for a new or renewed driver’s license.
Other use cases
