Heirloom Birth Certificate

Overview

An heirloom birth certificate is not a legal document. It’s a special keepsake to celebrate a birth.

While family and friends can pay for it as a thoughtful gift, only the person named on the certificate can place the order.

Who qualifies?

• A person may obtain only his or her own birth certificate, except for parents who may obtain their own child's certificate.
• We can only process requests for births that occurred in Alaska. For births that occurred outside of Alaska, requests must be sent directly to the appropriate state.
• All requests must include a copy of government-issued picture id of the person requesting the birth certificate.
