Georgia has been maintaining birth records since 1919 when the government made it mandatory to begin recording vital events such as births. A limited number of records before 1919 are available, but can only be requested at the county office in which the individual was born.
Georgia is a closed record state, which means that certified copies can only be requested by the person named on the certificate, as well as their immediate family members (including spouse) and lawyers representing them.
