Birth Records
Clay County can make birth certificates for most people born in Minnesota. For birth records prior to 1935 Clay County can assist you but it may take an extra day.
If you were not born in Minnesota, see the National Center for Health Statistics for more information about ordering a birth certificate from another state.
