Birth & Death Certificates
Colorado birth or death certificates may be obtained either through SJBPH or directly through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
To obtain a birth certificate through SJBPH, you can submit an application in person at our office (you must present the required identification) or you can mail, fax, or email your application with a photocopy of your identification and pay online on our website.
The birth certificate fee is $20 and $13 for any additional certificates.
San Juan Basin Public Health prints all birth certificates next business day. Certificates are not available at time of order.
Birth certificates are confidential and can only be given to family members who can prove a relationship or legal guardians/representatives.
