I cannot provide a time frame as to when we will resume normal business functions at this time. I understand that adoptees have waited many years to obtain their pre-adoption record, NYC apologizes for the interruption in services and appreciates your understanding during these challenging times.”

Currently, they are experiencing significant delays in processing orders for Pre-Adoption Birth Certificates. At the direction of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s Executive Order 202, pertaining to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, offices are currently operating with reduced staff and resources. Due to the research needed to locate and fulfill an order, their limited staff is still working to process the remaining orders. Depending on volume of forthcoming inquiries received from the public, they are currently processing 200-300 orders per week. They have continued to process applications in the order in which they were received. We all appreciate everyone’s patience as the Bureau of Vital Records works to fulfill the high volume of requests for Pre-Adoption Birth Certificates.
