The Pennsylvania Application for a Birth Certificate with Fees Waived Under the Disaster Declaration (for an Individual with an Opioid Disorder) is a special program that provides a fee waiver for individuals with an opioid disorder who are applying for a birth certificate. This program is part of the state’s response to the opioid epidemic. The application is available online and must be completed and submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH). The application requires the applicant to provide proof of their opioid disorder diagnosis, such as a prescription or doctor’s note, as well as proof of identity and residency. Once the application is approved, the DOH will issue a fee-waived birth certificate to the applicant. There are two types of Pennsylvania Application for a Birth Certificate with Fees Waived Under the Disaster Declaration (for an Individual with an Opioid Disorder): 1. The Original Birth Certificate — This application is for individuals who are requesting a birth certificate for the first time. 2. The Replacement Birth Certificate — This application is for individuals who already have a birth certificate but are requesting a replacement due to damage, loss, or incorrect information.
