Birth certificate request letter
Sometimes when applying for certain programs, federal aid programs or just for safe keeping, you might need to send a letter to the hospital for a birth certificate. A birth certificate request letter is simply the process of asking for a birth certificate in case you lose the original one.
Starting to Write
State the name of the child that needs a birth certificate.
State which day and what exact time the child was born at the hospital to make it easier to find the certificate.
Cover the reason that you need a birth certificate for and what happened to the old one.
Sample Birth certificate request letter
Dear record keeper,
My child (Louis Anne Marenholdt) was born at approximately 3:21 AM on June 4, 2013. She was born at your hospital, the Regional Birth Center in Springfield, Illinois.
I have recently tried applying for insurance and adding my child onto the plan but I however am unable to locate my birth certificate for Louis. I’m afraid I have lost the certificate and would like to request that a new one be sent to my address at 2195 Wallfield Drive, Walling, Illinois.
If you have any questions or would like to ask me any questions about the matter, I can be reached almost any weekday (during normal working hours) at 211-1245.
Sincerely,
Alaina Marenholdt
