Historical Springville Birth Records

Springville was first settled in 1850. Families came south from Salt Lake City to establish the community. It is one of Utah County's older cities. Springville birth records from the early years are not in state vital records files. Utah did not start statewide birth registration until 1905. Before that, counties began keeping birth record ledgers in 1898. These pre-1905 Springville birth records sit in county clerk offices and at the Utah State Archives.

The Library of Congress guide to Utah vital records shows what birth records exist at each level. For Springville family history going back to the 1800s, church records are often the best source. Old newspaper announcements also document Springville births. The FamilySearch Library holds digitized Utah County birth certificates from 1903 to 1914. The CDC vital records page confirms Utah began statewide birth registration in 1905.

Springville birth certificates older than 100 years are public record. Anyone can obtain vital records copies through the Utah State Archives. No relationship proof is needed for these historical Springville birth records.

Correcting a Springville Birth Certificate

Errors on a Springville birth certificate can be corrected through an amendment. Request an Amendment Application from the state vital records office. You need your photo ID and the original birth certificate. Supporting documents are also required. Most Springville birth record amendments need a notarized affidavit signed by two witnesses.

The birth certificate amendment fee is $27. That includes one corrected certified copy. Major changes like a legal name change require a court order. Springville residents file that petition at the Utah County district court. After the court grants the order, send a certified copy to the state vital records office. Under Utah vital records law, the state then issues the updated Springville birth certificate. Gender marker changes on birth records follow a separate process. An extra $40 fee may apply.
