I have heard the Escambia County Tax Collector’s office can issue Florida birth certificates. Is that true?

Yes, that is correct. In partnership with the Escambia County Health Department, our offices can provide copies of Florida birth records. The birth certificate can be obtained by either parent listed on the birth certificate or the registrant, if over 18. If you need to make any changes or amendments to your Florida birth certificate, you must contact the State Office of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville, Florida at (904) 359-6900, extension 9005.

If you have any questions or need further information concerning birth certificates you may visit or contact the Escambia County Health Department, 1295 W. Fairfield Drive, Pensacola, Florida 32501 – (850) 595-6500.

If we are able to assist you in obtaining the certified birth certificate, you will need to present proof of identification. These required documents are listed in our Birth Certificate Identity Requirements PDF.
