What We Do

Need to fix an error on your child’s birth certificate?
 Whether it’s a name, date, or missing information, we guide you step-by-step. No confusion, no wasted time.

How It Works

1. Email CHS (Center for Health Statistics): chs.amendments@oha.oregon.gov
 Include: Parent name, phone, email, child’s name, date of birth, and correction needed.

2. For Parent Errors: Complete an Affidavit to Correct a Birth Certificate.
 We offer FREE notarization at Umatilla County Public Health – both parents must be present if listed on the record.

3. Bring:

• Photo ID(s)
• Birth certificate(s)

$35 fee per certificate (check/money order to OHA/Vital Records)

Additional Help

We also assist with:

• Adding missing information (within 12 months of birth)
• Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity
• First-time name changes (second changes require court order)

First replacement certificate is free (within 6 months). Additional copies $5 each.

Act now – the sooner you start, the faster it’s fixed.

If your child is over the age of six months you can order a birth certificate from the state via phone 888-896-4988 or visit Vital Checks
