The hospital should have filed the birth registration with our office. Let me look it up. Can you give me the child full name, date of birth, and the names of both parents?

I found the record. Everything looks complete. A certified copy is twenty-one dollars. How many copies do you need? Most parents get at least two — one for their records and one for things like passport applications or school enrollment.

Since the record is already in our system, I can print the certified copies right now. It will just be a few minutes. That will be sixty-three dollars total. We accept cash, check, or credit card.

The hospital usually offers to apply for the Social Security number at the time of birth. If they did, the card should arrive by mail in six to eight weeks. If not, you can apply at your nearest Social Security office with the birth certificate and your ID.

We can help with that. I will need to verify your identity first. Please provide a valid government-issued photo ID and answer a few security questions. We keep records going back over a hundred years, so yours should definitely be in our system.

I will ask for your full name at birth, date of birth, the hospital where you were born, and your parents full names including your mother maiden name. This is to match our records and prevent fraudulent requests.

If everything checks out, I can issue it today — same-day service. It will take about twenty minutes to process. The fee for a replacement certified copy is twenty-one dollars. Would you like to order multiple copies while you are here?

Smart move. That will be forty-two dollars total. I would suggest keeping one in a fireproof safe or a safety deposit box at your bank. I will have both copies ready in about twenty minutes.
