How to get a certified birth certificate from Vigo County Health Department
Summary
A Vigo County Health Department staff member described the in-person process for obtaining a certified copy of a birth certificate at the department annex in Terre Haute, including location, required ID, acceptable payment methods and typical processing time.
A Vigo County Health Department staff member outlined steps residents should follow to obtain a certified copy of a birth certificate at the department annex at 171 Oak Street in Terre Haute.
The department said applicants should use the public entrance on the north side of the annex, look for the red sign, and ask for assistance at the desk to be directed to the vital records office. “You'll need to come to the annex building at 171 Oak Street in Terre Haute,” the staff member said.
The staff member described the in-person process: ask for a certified copy of the birth certificate, complete an application form, and provide a valid photo ID. Payment must be made by cash, money order or cashier's check payable to the Vigo County Health Department; the fee is $10 per certified copy.
“They'll process your request while you wait, and in most cases, you'll get your certified copy the same day,” the staff member said. The department also said residents can request a copy by mail and directed callers to the department website or to contact them by phone for more information.
The instructions given were informational steps for obtaining a record; no formal policy change or vote was discussed.
