A Texas birth certificate is one of the vital records issued by the state government that provides proof of birth. The document contains information such as the name, date of birth, parents' names, place of birth, and other details.

Birth and death records are confidential and certificates are available only to the person named on the certificate, immediate family, or legal representatives with proper documentation.

Vital records document life events such as birth, death, marriage, and divorce. To order records online, you'll need to have a valid ID, complete an online application, and pay a fee.
