Birth Records

Birth records for Montgomery County Clerk's Office and surrounding areas are available back to 1906.

Birth certificates are only available through this site to those born in the state of Texas.

The Montgomery County Clerk’s Office maintains long form birth certificates for individuals born within the Montgomery County registration district.

This registration district does not include parts of the City of Kingwood. Long form birth certificates for births occurring in areas of Kingwood (HCA Healthcare-Kingwood) must be obtained from the City of Houston. Our office can provide the abstract version.

• Long form Birth Certificate - Most comprehensive birth record. It is a copy of the original birth certificate. It will also show a history of corrections that have been made to the birth record. This form is often used for requesting passports.

• Short form Birth Certificate - An abstract of the birth record for a Texas birth. This birth certificate will only show current information for the child's name, date of birth, place of birth, sex, and name of parent(s). This form will not show a history of corrections. This form is often used for school records and is acceptable for most purposes.

Newborn Birth Certificates:

It may take 1-3 weeks for the birth certificate to be generated by the birthing facility and DSHS-Austin. Once received by our office your application will be processed and you will be notified of delivery or order pick up.
