CHANGED
Use these links for more information.
A new law signed May 10, 2010,
allows adopted adults born in Illinois to request
non-certified copies of their Original Birth
Certificate (OBC). Adopted persons born prior to
January 1, 1946, may request their OBC at any time.
But with the new law, adopted persons born after
January 1, 1946, may now request their OBC beginning
November 15, 2011.
Check our Events section for

in obtaining an OBC.
