Who Can Request Eagle County Birth Records

Colorado law protects birth records. Only certain people can access them. You must prove who you are. You must also show your relationship to the person on the record. This prevents identity theft and fraud.

The registrant can always get their own birth certificate. Parents listed on the record may request copies. Adult children need proof of relationship. Siblings must show they share a parent. Spouses need a marriage certificate.

Grandparents face new restrictions. As of October 2024, they need court orders. They cannot request based on relationship alone. This policy change affects all Colorado counties. Eagle County follows this rule.

Bring valid photo ID to request records. A driver's license works best. Passports and state IDs are also accepted. Documents must be current. Expired IDs are not valid. Bring two secondary IDs if you lack primary ID.
