Georgia vital records are available for $25 plus $5 each for additional copies. Georgia birth records have been stored centrally since January 1919. Before that, they were stored in the county where the birth occurred. Georgia death records have been on file in Atlanta since January 1990. Before that, they were located in the county where the person died. In either case, the fee is payable by certified check or money order to the Georgia Department of Public Health, though individual counties have their own policies for payment. To obtain a Georgia birth record or death record, one must be the person on the record, the legal guardian of that person, or an immediate relative thereof, including grandparents but excluding aunts and uncles. Georgia was one of the original colonies of the United States. At first, it included the area that is now Mississippi and Alabama.
