Getting an Iowa replacement birth certificate is not difficult as long as you have all the information and documentation needed to make a request. If you lost your birth certificate, you may get a replacement copy from the departments who are handled by the Bureau of Health Statistics.



Specifically, the two departments you can request a birth record from is the Vital records and Health Statistics. So before you are going to apply for any requests, make sure to call the bureau to verify any changes in the fees and requirements. At present, you can make a replacement birth certificate request in person, by mail, online or by phone.How long does it usually taketp get a birth certificate mailed?
Time requirements vary quite a bit from state to state. Many offices are woefully understaffed and suffer large backlogs. Also, if there is any issue with your certificate there will be a delay. You MUST submit information which proves your identity and that you are indeed entitled to receive a certified copy, plus the required fee. The time involved could be as short as a few days once your application is received, or as long as a couple of months.



I suggest that you contact both the Iowa state office of vital statistics, and the local registrar in the county in which you were born, since either office can produce the certified copy. You can locate the addresses and phone numbers by simple internet search.How long does it usually taketp get a birth certificate mailed?
