Forms are available for persons who were born before 1917 or for certificates that are not available from our county and must be ordered from the main office in Jacksonville.

For out of state birth records, we have the phone number for the main office in each state available for reference. For persons needing to make changes on Florida certificates we have some amendment forms available or you can contact the Jacksonville office at 904-359-6900 for more information or forms we do not have.
