Birth Certificate and Social Security Number
New parents will be contacted the day after baby’s birth to gather the required information to forward to the Office of Vital Records. After the application is processed, the office will mail the birth certificate/social security number to the parent at home. Though we do give Mom a commemorative certificate, the hospital does not provide an official, legal copy of the birth certificate. To check on the status of baby’s certified birth certificate, contact the Office of Vital Records at 504-219-4500.
To obtain a certified copy of a Louisiana birth certificate, click here for the Office of Vital Records website.
How to Obtain a Copy of Your Medical Records and Documents
To obtain copies of the medical record, the patient's written authorization must be signed and must include the name and address of the individual who is to receive the copies of the record, the information requested and the treatment dates.
