I recently had a baby, how do I get a Birth Certificate?

As long as the birth took place in Hamilton (RWJUH at Hamilton) the birth certificate can be picked up in the Hamilton Township Health Office located at 2100 Greenwood Avenue in Hamilton.

Once the birth record is received, mother or father, sibling, or legal guardian must come to the Health Office in person to pick up the birth certificate. Identification is required. Once at the Health Office, a form is filled out and $15 fee is paid in the form of cash, money order, or debit/credit (2.9% service charge) to obtain the Birth Certificate.

If the parent of a child recently born is a minor and has no identification, they can use their school id as long as it has their date of birth on it. Otherwise they must bring a copy of their birth certificate.
