Fulton County Board of Health - Vital Records

The Fulton County Vital Records Office acts as the local agent for providing certified birth and death certificates for Fulton County residents. We can also print and issue certificates for births and deaths that occurred in any Georgia county. At least 95% of these records can be printed on demand, but in some cases additional wait times might be necessary and can take up to 72 hours before it is available for printing.
