Birth Records in
Jefferson County, Alabama

Birth records from 1908-2024 are available at the Jefferson County Health Department for people who were born in Jefferson County, Alabama.

The Jefferson County Health Department provides certified birth records, marriage records, divorce records, and death records for a fee of $15. An official birth certificate is required to get a passport and drivers license.
