I went to obtain a birth certificate on 08/18/21. Upon arriving, I noticed a sign sitting in front of the doors. It states the building is closed to the public and lists the phone number to call for assistance. I called the number and a woman answered. I explained I need to get my son's birth certificate and I have to submit it to my employer by Friday for insurance purposes. She advised me that they don't have the internet and don't currently have access to vital records nor do they have any way to print them out. She stated this has been the case for the past two to three weeks and they anticipate it will be at least one more week before the problem is resolved. She stated I can request my son's birth certificate through the State of Indiana but that it will take six to eight weeks to arrive. Wanted to let everyone know before they take a trip and are unable to access services inside.
