Monitoring
birth outcomes and causes of death has been the basis for keeping
track of the health of a population for centuries. Tri-County
Health Department issues legal, certified copies of birth certificates.
Hospital birth certificates with baby's footprint are not legal
documents.
Birth certificates
are available for people born any year in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas
Counties, or for people born in any other Colorado county since 1903.
Certified birth certificates
are needed for proof of employment,
U.S. passport applications, travel to Canada and Mexico, school enrollment,
extracurricular activities and to apply for a Social Security card.
Death certificates
are issued for deaths that occurred any year only in Adams, Arapahoe and
Douglas Counties.
NEW - Passport Information:
As of January 23, 2007, all US citizens - including
children - are
required to have a passport when flying to Mexico or Canada. Therefore,
all airline travel outside of the U.S. requires a passport. You
need a certified copy of a birth certificate to apply for a passport.
NOTE: Tri-County
Health Department provides birth certificates, but we do not process
passport applications.
