How long did it take to get your baby birth certificate in the mail?

Hello mamas! I currently live in Philadelphia and I had my baby a little over a month ago. I was told in the hospital that it would probably take a month to get his birth certificate. His social arrived but I’m starting to get worried 😅

New Jersey, but I had to go to get mine. Are you sure you don’t have to get it yourself?

I’m in Pittsburgh and I can’t remember but I want to say it took a month for my sons to come in. You can always call and get a status update.

Im in ny and it took almost 2 mf months

My daughter was born in Minnesota and we got a letter confirming her information was correct and if there was changes to be made that was the form to use. Then we could mail it in with the payment or go into the courthouse office. I took the letter in person and they printed it right away for me

I live in Chester County and it took about a month and a half to get ours.

In Philly it takes 4-5 weeks. Could be anyday now

In California and it took less than 2 weeks. Although we had to pick it up.

@Isabella I was told it would arrive in the mail but just in case I’m gonna do my research

@Courtney Michelle hopefully 🤞🏻 thank you

I’m in the Philly suburbs and it took about 2 weeks for us

We are in PA. I would Call vital records. We had same issue and just received it after a month when it was supposed to be 2 weeks. I called the hospital medical records first. Was told that they put the wrong address in. They fixed it then directed me to vital records. They got the updated address but would not send me a new birth certificate. Told me I had to wait for the post office to send back the birth certificate for them to send it back to us with correct address. Thankfully, we finally got it. But it could be an address mess up, or post office are just slow.
