Georgia adoptees gain birth-record access with fees

For applications filed on or after July 1, 2025, Georgia-born adoptees age 18 or older can get original birth-certificate copies. They qualify only if a new birth certificate was created after adoption. If an eligible adoptee has died, a parent, sibling, or descendant can request the copy from the state registrar. Requesters must pay the standard birth-certificate fee; the law does not state the amount. Copies are marked as not certified and cannot be used for legal purposes.
