What is the difference between a birth certificate and a birth record?
A birth certificate is an official government document that comes from the state. A birth record is an unofficial document that St. Luke's provides to new parents as a souvenir that can be suitable for framing. Copies of the birth record can be obtained through our Medical Record department (832-355-2077).
