Vital Records


birth certificates

Birth Certificates are available in Clinton if the person was born in Clinton or their parents lived in Clinton at the time of their birth.

A Birth record is not accessible to the general public if the parents were not married at the time the child was born (and have not since married and amended the birth record) or if the father's name does not appear on the record. In this case only the mother, Father (if listed) or the child may request a certificate; identification will be required.

The cost is $6 per certificate. For people under the age of 18 and over the age of 60 there will be no charge. If the date of the record is unknown the fee is $8 per certificate.
