Obtaining a birth certificate

What's the best, (& safest), way to get a birth certificate? I need to regiser my son for Kindergarten in a few weeks & will need to have this to do so. Thanks!!

I found this for you (assuming your son was born in Texas). If not, just google "copy of birth certificate".

Order it online through the link the other mom posted. I just had a baby in April and had to order a birth certificate. I had it in less than a week.

If your son was born in Texas just go to your local Dept. of Vital Statistics and they can give you a certified copy. HTH.
