Obtain copies of your Georgia birth certificate.
If you were born in the state of Georgia, you have a birth certificate that is stored in the state's vital records database. For individuals living in the state of Georgia, copies of your birth certificates can easily be obtained by visiting a local office. However, if you live in another state, you may not want to drive to Georgia just to pick up a copy of your certificate. The good news is that you can also mail in your request for a copy or complete the form online.
