Help!? Our DD birth certificate hasn't come in yet. We thought it would be mailed to us automatically after my leave,…

Call the County clerk's office for the town/county you had her in. They're the ones who issue birth certificates, I believe.

@nomli @mrs.swan110916 we completed all of the paperwork they gave us but they never mentioned the process of receiving a BC. We assumed they would mail it to us but that didn't happen. The only thing they told us was about the paper with her footprints, weight, etc. They said to use that in the meantime. That's why we assumed. Now I'm completely lost and don't know how to order a birth certificate. I've looked online but all I run into are fraudulent websites.

We did all the paperwork in the hospital, and the social worker there mailed it all in, I think. At least I don't remember doing anything once we were home. We had his BC within two weeks.

When I had my daughter all I had to do was fill out the paperwork and the hospital mailed it all out for us.

That's why I mentioned the foot prints. They told me to use that... @mckallalynn..

You should've never left the hospital without mothers copy. It is a print out of what your babies birth certificate would look like with all of your and dad's information. That is what I had to take to first doctors appointment, etc

I had to take my "mothers copy" cut the bottom and mail it to the state of Tennessee with so much money to get his original birth certificate the only thing that I didn't have to pay for or worry about was his social security card which I received about 6 weeks after I left the hospital.

You should go ask where they give you the birth certificate. I got my DD that same day hers. I hope you get it soon.
