Now that driver’s licenses and state identification cards require birth certificates, Pasco County tax collector Mike Fasano is offering the sale of birth certificates for Florida-born customers.
The need for a birth certificate is part of the state’s “Real ID Act,” but could also be needed for other situations as well.
“We are constantly striving to make it as easy as possible for our customers to comply with the needs of the federal mandates regarding identification,” Fasano said in a release. “Additionally, a customer may need a copy of their birth certificate for various other purposes. As long as they were born in the state of Florida, we will be able to help them secure an authorized copy of their birth certificate.”
The cost for the first certificate is $18.25, with additional copies available for $8 each. There is no limit on the number of certificates an individual can purchase.
Those who want their birth certificate must show a valid identification in the form of a drier’s license, state-issued ID card, a passport, military ID, or any other acceptable government-issued identification.
Local tax collector offices are at 4111 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., in Land O’ Lakes, and at 14236 Sixth St., Room 100, in Dade City.
