National Birth Certificates
Birth Certificates slowly going digital – Nov. 25, 2006, Herald Star, by Julie Carr Smyth – Columbus - In America, your birth certificate is the footing on which your identification is built. Yet, for decades, getting a copy has required a weeks–long wait. That may soon change, as vital statistics offices around the country try to automate the centuries-old practice of keeping birth records. The shorter wait likely will mean a higher cost to consumers. Ohio officials have given themselves until 2010 to create digital images of the entire state’s birth certificates. Ohio: $15 - $18, Pennsylvania: $10, West Virginia: $15.00.
