Get a Birth Certificate in City of St. Louis, MO
This service isn't handled by the Circuit Clerk. Here's where to go instead.
Birth certificates are issued by Missouri Vital Records, not the County Clerk.
🌐 Go to the official portalhealth.mo.gov ↗One form covers birth, death, fetal death and stillbirth — tick the record you need. A birth copy is $15.00 per copy, with no cheaper rate for extra copies. Mail-in requests must be notarized and include a self-addressed stamped envelope — an un-notarized one is rejected. Going in person needs photo ID instead, and any of Missouri's 115 local public health agencies offers walk-in service; otherwise mail it to the Bureau of Vital Records in Jefferson City. Not to this office. State records begin 1 January 1910.
⚠️ This office does not process birth certificates. Use the agency linked above. The office below is your county's Circuit Clerk — useful for other services.
