PART 2: BIRTH CERTIFICATE BEING REQUESTED Please complete as much information as possible. If you need a birth certificate quickly, make your request in person at one of our six Vital Records Branch Offices or online at mycertificates.health.pa.gov.How to fill out the Pennsylvania Birth Certificate Application Form? 1. Download the PDF form from the website. 2. Complete this application and mail with legible copy of ID to: Division of Vital Records, 101 South Mercer St., PO Box 1528, New Castle, PA 16101. It's part of the I-9 form to prove you are allowed to work in the U.S. It doesn't have to be a birth certificate. I just learned that you can only use Long Form Birth Certificates (Parent's names and info and hospital info) for passport applications. If this paperwork is not sent to HR, changes will not be entered in the system. Social security card is fine with picture id. Form I-9 Acceptable Documents List.
