Thus, original birth certificates issued at the time of birth may not be valid for the purpose intended. Therefore, it will be required to obtain a brand-new birth certificate issued by the Department of Health or Vital Statistics from the state where you were born. While some states require various documents, forms, and Powers of Attorney to issue a new birth certificate, some other states are more accessible.
