Currently, the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics requires an initial birth certificate application be completed by the hospital immediately following the child’s birth, which lists the surrogate as the child’s birth mother. Upon entering the Final Order affirming parental status, the court will direct the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics to amend the child’s birth certificate and the birth record to list the intended parents as the mother/parent and father/parent of the child. At this point, all surrogate’s information will be deleted from the birth record and a birth certificate will immediately be issued, which usually takes about three weeks to process. Same-sex couples will be named as “mother/parent” and “father/parent.”
