Long form Birth Certificate - Most comprehensive birth record. It is a copy of the original birth certificate. It will also show a history of
corrections that have been made to the birth record. This form is often used for requesting passports.
Short form Birth Certificate - An abstract of the birth record. This birth certificate will only show current information for the child's name,
date of birth, place of birth, sex, and name of parent(s). This form will not show a history of corrections. This form is often used for school
records and is acceptable for most purposes.
Heirloom birth certificate - Heirloom birth certificates are abstracts of the birth certificate. They are primarily used for framing and
display. The information on an "heirloom birth certificate" is similar to a "short form". Examples of heirloom birth certificates can be
seen on our website at http://www.dshs.texas.gov/reqproc/heirloom.shtm.
Verification Letter - A verification letter will include the child’s name, the date of birth, and the county where the birth occurred.
Verification letters are available for births that have occurred since 1903. Verification letters are not considered legal substitutes for
certified copies of birth certificates. The VSS strongly recommends that applicants ensure a verification will satisfy its intended use.
Military Personnel with current deployment orders - H.B. No. 1260 Sec. 431.039. EXEMPTION FROM FEES FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL
BEING DEPLOYED. A member of the National Guard on federal active duty, or a member of the armed forces of the United States on
active duty, who is preparing to be deployed to serve in a hostile fire zone as designated by the United States secretary of defense is
exempt from paying the following state or local governmental fees the member incurs because of the deployment to arrange the
member's personal affairs: (1) fees for obtaining copies of: (A) a birth certificate; SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2007.
APPLICATIONS WITHOUT MILITARY ID AND MILITARY ORDERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.
Copies of birth certificates for births that occurred within the past 75 years can be requested only by the immediate family of the
person whose name is on the birth certificate. See Section 181.1(13) of the Texas Administrative Code for who qualifies as an
immediate family member. An immediate family member is the child, their guardian, their children, spouses, parents, siblings, or
grandparents.
Applicants who are not immediate family members must provide legal documentation (such as a court order establishing guardianship)
that demonstrates a direct, tangible interest in the birth certificate.
The applicant must include a photocopy of his or her valid photo ID issued by a governmental entity. See Section 181.28 of the
the Texas Administrative Code for a complete list of acceptable forms of identification. You also can see VSS’s page on
acceptable identification in English (http://www.dshs.texas.gov/vs/reqproc/Acceptable-IDs/) and Spanish (http://
www.dshs.texas.gov/vs/reqproc/Acceptable-IDs-(Spanish)/).
Applications for birth certificates cannot be processed without a photo ID or alternate IDs and the signature of the applicant. If a
valid photo ID or alternate IDs and signatures are not received, the application will not processed.
For the status of your request, contact the City of Borger by telephone at 1-806-273-0904 or by email at ssauls@borgertx.gov.
