Mar 31 Birth Certificate Prints Now Available At Largo MVA

MDOT MVA Expands at Annapolis, Frederick and Largo Branches in Addition to Baltimore City and Essex to Provide Birth Certificate Printing Services

Maryland residents can now go to the Largo (10251 Central Ave) location of MVA to request a certified copy of their birth certificate and have it printed onsite as proof of identity to acquire the federally-mandated REAL ID.

Other locations in Maryland include the Annapolis, Frederick, Baltimore City and Essex branch offices.

The Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration (MDOT MVA), in partnership with the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) Division of Vital Records, has expanded its birth certificate printing service.

“We are so excited to expand this service to additional branch offices to allow more customers access to this convenient benefit,” said MDOT MVA Administrator Chrissy Nizer. “Maryland has one of the top REAL ID compliance rates in the nation at 86%, and since the partnership with the Department of Health began, this service has helped more than 1,300 Marylanders obtain their REAL ID status and a new copy of their birth certificate conveniently in one trip.”

The service began in March 2021 at the Baltimore City branch. Since then, more than 1,100 customers at that location and 200 customers in Essex have benefited from the partnership. MDH sets fees for certified birth certificate copies at $10. MDOT MVA does not collect any additional fees for this service and the customer will leave with a new copy of their birth certificate, as well as the MDOT MVA product they were there to obtain.

“MDOT MVA leads the way in forming meaningful partnerships with state agencies to offer Marylanders a one-stop shop for government services,” said MDOT Secretary James F. Ports, Jr..

“The birth certificate service is a huge convenience for customers obtaining their REAL ID and another way MDOT MVA is fulfilling its pledge to deliver premier customer service and Governor Hogan’s goal to provide a great customer experience.”
