Certified birth certificates come from the state · $17.00 the first copy

$17.00first certified copy · $6.00 each additional copy ordered at the same time

The Department of Health publishes the fee; the statute behind it is printed only in a vendor-hosted code and was not read, so the Department's figure is the one shown. By law $1 of each copy goes to the Children's Trust Fund, inside the $17. Ordering through VitalChek adds the vendor's own fee.
