Indiana began statewide birth registration in 1907, though county records may date back to the mid-1800s. Before formal registration, many births were documented in church records, family Bibles, or legal documents like wills and census records.
The Indiana State Department of Health maintains birth certificates, which remain restricted for 100 years before becoming public records.
