Birth certificates are required by a number of service providers to demonstrate citizenship for service eligibility. Birth, death, and marriage records, if these events occurred within the city limits of Cincinnati, can be obtained at the Elm Street Clinic Vital Records Office.
The Elm Street Clinic Vital Records Office offers same day service up to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Wait time is generally one hour. They open at 8:30 a.m. except on the 1st Tuesday of each month, at 10:30 a.m. If you do not have a receipt or a picture ID matching the certificate request, your certificate will be mailed to you. Any requests for vital records made from 2:01 p.m. through 4 p.m. will be mailed to the customer.
Effective 10/16/2009 the cost of all certificates is $27 (formally $22). Types of payment accepted include: cash, certified check, money order. Some credit and debit cards are now accepted, as well (Check and see if the card says “Interlink” on it — if so, it is part of a network of service providers NOT accepted by the Vital Records Office at the Elm Street Clinic). There is an extra $2.50 charge if you pay using one of the accepted credit or debit cards. They do not accept $100 bills, or personal checks.
Vital records are available only for those events which took place within the geographic limits of Cincinnati. Institutions within the city of Cincinnati include: Good Samaritan Hospital, Catherine Boodth Hospital, General/University Hospital, The Christ Hospital, Providence (Franciscan-Mt Airy Campus) Hospital, Jewish Hospital (Clifton), Veterns Medical Center, Drake Center, Bethesda Oak (Maternity), St. Frances/St. George (Franciscan Western Hills Campus), Our Lady of Mercy Hospital up to 1951, and approximately 175 nursing homes.
