Get a Birth Certificate in Broward County, FL
This service isn't handled by the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Here's where to go instead.
This office does not publish its fee, so ring before you go. The statute will not tell you either: § 382.0255(1)(a) prices one component of the work — the first year of records searched, with a certification — at $3 to $5, and that is not what a counter charges: the 57 Florida county health departments that do publish a figure charge $7.00 to $20.00 for a certificate.

The years this office can serve. It issues birth records from 1930 to the present. Its page does not say whether that covers events in other Florida counties; older records come from the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville.
Who may have one. § 382.025(1) gives a birth certificate to the person named if of legal age, a parent, guardian or legal representative, or — once the registrant has died — a spouse, child, grandchild or sibling of legal age. A birth record more than 125 years old is public.
Ordering from the state Bureau of Vital Statistics costs $9.00 for the first computer certification and $4.00 for each additional copy ordered at the same time; county health department fees vary, so ask before you go. Mail the form to the Bureau in Jacksonville, walk it in there, or take it to a local county health department — which issues Florida birth records from 1917 onward — but not to this office. Include a copy of your photo ID and state your relationship to the person named.
