How long does it take to receive your bay's birth certificate in New York?

Do you have to pay for your baby's birth certificate in New York? I'm curious because I just gave birth to my first child, a boy, 8 days ago. I need his birth certificate pretty soon because of a medicaid issue. Any answers are appreciated. Thank you.How long does it take to receive your bay's birth certificate in New York?
Congratulations. Call the hospital to see if they know the answer. Otherwise, contact the Bureau of Vital Statistics to ask them. Sorry, I can't help you. My kids won't be born in New York for another few months.
