If you need a birth certificate for a newborn in Ohio, it usually takes about 8-10 weeks to process from the birth date. If you pre-order, you'll receive it as soon as it's ready. If you need a birth certificate for someone who was born in Ohio, regardless of age, you can get one from the Hamilton County Public Health or City of Cincinnati Health Department. These are public records, so you can obtain them by providing the required search information. You can get birth records from 1909 to the present, and they all have a raised, embossed seal from the State of Ohio. If you prefer to order in person, you can go to one of the locations listed below. Otherwise, you can order online or over the phone using the provided contact information.

Please have the following information available when placing orders

1. Full name as listed on the birth certificate
2. Child’s date of birth
3. Mother’s name and maiden name (her name prior to first marriage)
