How to Obtain a Birth Certificate and Social Security Card
Hospital Process
Once your baby is born, you will be provided with a DC Health Vital Records Division Mother’s Worksheet while in the hospital, that you will need to complete before discharging. The information you provide on the DC Mother’s Worksheet will be used for your infant's birth certificate. The Birth Certificate is a legal document. Please help ensure the information is entered correctly by printing legibly when filling out the worksheet.
Hospital Verification of Birth Letter
If you would like a Verification of Birth letter sent directly to you, please email [email protected] and include the following information:
- Birthing Person's Name
- Birthing Person's Date of Birth
- Baby's Date of Birth
Please allow 2-3 business days to receive your letter upon submission.
Birth Certificate
The State Center for Health Statistics Vital Records Division will not automatically send a copy of the Birth Certificate. To learn how to obtain a birth certificate, including forms and fees, please visit https://dchealth.dc.gov/service/birth-certificates.
Social Security Number
If you would like to automatically receive a Social Security number for your child, please check the YES box, sign and date on question #5 in the DC Mother’s Worksheet. It will take 8-12 weeks to receive the Social Security card. If you have not received the card at the end of 12 weeks, please contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
For any additional inquiries, please email the Birth Registrar’s department at [email protected].
