Minnesota birth records are kept by state governments. Minnesota has its own birth record database, which can be accessed online. The online databases are searchable by name, date of birth, and place of birth. Minnesota also provide information about birth parents and authorized guardians, as well as the child’s birth weight and head circumference.
To access a Minnesota birth record database, visit the website of the Minnesota health department. You can also search the databases using the keywords “birth record” or “birth certificate.”
The Minnesota birth record databases are updated regularly, usually once a month. However, the information may be outdated or incomplete, so it is important to confirm the information you find with the Minnesota health department.
