Information for Adult Adoptees to Get a copy of their Pre-Adoption (Original) Birth Certificate

If you are an adoptee who was born in Rhode Island and you are age 25 or

older as of July 1, 2012, you can request a non-certified copy of your

original, pre-adoption birth record from the State Office of Vital

Records. By law, we can only release the copy of your record to you

starting July 2, 2012.
