Birth Certificates
Every year, HAP helps close to a thousand Philadelphians obtain their birth certificates through our clinics. Now that Pennsylvania is waiving the application fee for anyone experiencing homelessness, and we can show you how to request your own birth record. Born out of state, or have some other issue? HAP can help with that too.
