Birth Certificates

Florida Department of Health in Calhoun County

The Florida Department of Health in Calhoun County (DOH-Calhoun) serves as the county's vital records office for birth and death certificates. For certificates from other states, visit the State Office of Vital Statistics.

DOH-Calhoun is required by state law to restrict access to birth certificates and death certificates (with cause of death) to specific individuals. This law protects the privacy of sensitive information and prevents identity theft. Death Certificates without the cause of death are public records. See the information below for required documentation to obtain birth and death certificates.

Birth Certificates

The State Office of Vital Statistics maintains the original copies of the birth records from all counties within the State of Florida. DOH-Calhoun's Vital Statistics Office can issue certified copies of birth certificates for persons born in Florida from 1930 to the present.
