How long does it take for a child born in Pennsylvania, USA, to receive a birth certificate and social security card?

Early in the morning, a father from far away in Detroit came to ask: What should I do if it takes 30-45 days to get the baby’s birth certificate? Little Green Mom is so incompetent. Why did he forget to tell the hospital that he needed to be rushed? Jiahuier can expedite it in 2-3 days. I wonder if it can be expedited in Detroit?

Little Green Mom will talk in detail about the steps to apply for a birth certificate in the United States today. Mothers must remember to avoid what happened to this father.

Every mother who gives birth to a baby in a domestic hospital knows that after the baby is named, she can apply for a birth certificate at the birth hospital. The completed birth certificate needs to be taken to the police station to register the household registration, so that the baby can be recorded and officially has a Chinese identity. If you only take the birth certificate without registering the household registration, you will be a black household without corresponding identity certificate.

The United States does not have a household registration system. They adopt a population registration and social security number system.

These two steps are completed at the same time, that is, the birth hospital sends the baby's birth information to the Population and Social Security Administration for filing at the same time. In this way, the baby has U.S. identity as soon as he is born.

After the baby is born in the United States, the person who handles the birth certificate at the hospital brings a birth registration form and needs to fill in various information such as the baby's name, birth time, guardian's nationality and passport number, home address, etc. (The guardian can only write mother)

The hospital will first issue a temporary birth certificate based on the filled-in information, and then send the baby's birth information in a letter to the Population Department and the Social Security Bureau.
