Home Birth registration is also available in this office by appointment. According to Indiana Law, as of July 1, 2014, if a home birth is not registered with the Local Health Department by one (1) year of age, it is considered a delayed registration and must be filed with the Indiana State Department of Health. For delayed registration contact the Indiana Department of Health at 317-233-7303.

The Apostille (or long form birth certificate) is only available by mail through the Indiana Department of Health – Vital Records office and is authenticated by the Secretary of State.
