It is usually located in county office buildings such as the county clerk's office. They are the only office that can provide you with an authentic raised seal copy of your birth certificate. You will need acceptable identification, such as your social security card and driver's license. Additionally, it is not free. Expect it to cost between $10-20. Was this answer helpful to you?
