How to Obtain a Birth Certificate From Spokane, Washington
Birth certificates are issued to babies born in Spokane hospitals upon birth. Parents are asked to provide the information that goes on the certificate to hospital staff. Staff then sends a birth certificate form to the state and a birth certificate is created; new parents receive a certified copy of the child's birth certificate in the mail after it is recorded and filed. If you need an additional copy of your own or your child's birth certificate, you can order one from the Spokane Regional Health District.
