Oklahoma State Department of Health, Vital Records — not a county office

Certified birth certificates come only from the state · $15.00 a copy

$15.00per certified copy · the search is included

This price is on the Department of Health's own application form (May 2025), and that form is the source: the statute names no amount — 63 O.S. § 1-325 says “The State Board of Health shall prescribe the fees”. Each additional copy is $15.00 too. The County Clerk, the Court Clerk and the county health departments do not issue birth certificates.

Three ways to order

Online, or by phone on the Department's line, (405) 426-8880 — the Department completes both with its partner VitalChek; about two business days, and eligible for Will Call pickup in Oklahoma City, Tulsa or McAlester. Vendor orders cost more than $15.00. By mail, on the form below, about four weeks: Vital Records Service, Oklahoma State Department of Health, PO Box 248964, Oklahoma City, OK 73124-8964— checks payable to “OSDH VR”, no cash. The Department's lobbies are not open to walk-ins.

Who can order, and what to send

Only the person named, a parent named on the certificate, an immediate family member or a legal representative may order an Oklahoma birth certificate; records of births at least 125 years ago are open. Send a photocopy of a current, valid photo ID and any proof of eligibility the form asks for; an incomplete request is not processed.

Street address: Woods County publishes no official website for this office, and the only statewide list of County Clerks (the Oklahoma Almanac 2021–22, Oklahoma Department of Libraries) is unreliable for it: in at least 9 counties it gives the Court Clerk's phone or address instead of the County Clerk's, so none is printed.
