The guide lists the steps to obtain a copy of a birth certificate if the person was born in Virginia.  It includes links to locations where one can apply for their birth certificate and links to local legal aid offices who may be able to assist.

For individuals not born in Virginia, the guide includes links to other states' information about how to get a copy of a birth certificate.
