The City of Dallas Vital Statistics Office will open two weekends in the month of August to accommodate parents needing birth certificates for their children to enroll in school.

Parents requesting a birth certificate in person should present a valid photo ID including any of the following: State issued drivers license, State issued ID card, Matricula consular, Visa or Passport, or veterans ID with photo.
The cost of birth certificates is $23 per copy; only cash, cashiers checks and money orders are accepted. Credit cards, personal checks and debit cards are not accepted as a form of payment. Customers may enter the building from the south side located off Akard Street across from the Convention Center. Parking is available at the meters in the back of the building.
