New York Birth Records Directory


About Birth Records in New York

New York Birth records are managed by the Vital Records Section of New York Department of Health for most of the state from 1881 to present. Birth records for New York City, however, are managed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Certified copies of birth records are only available to the registrant or the parents. Certified copies of birth records may be available to spouses and children, or other individuals with a court order. Non certified copies of birth records are available to direct line descendents, such as children and grandchildren. Birth records are also available to the general public if the record was on file for at least 75 years, and the registrant is deceased.

Birth records from the Cities of Albany, Buffalo and Yonkers prior to January 1, 1914 are not managed by the Department of Health. Birth records from these cities are available through the Local Registrar.
