Health Information Management

The Health Information Management Department (formerly Medical Records) at Rapid City Regional Hospital routinely prepares the SD Certificate of Live Birth for all babies born at our hospital. Please contact the us at 719-8178 for assistance with birth certificate and paternity affidavit information needs. 

A legal and certified copy of your baby's birth certificate may be obtained from the Register of Deeds at the Pennington County Courthouse or from any courthouse in the State of South Dakota, for any child born in South Dakota. There is currently a fee of $15 payable to the courthouse for the certified birth certificate copy.
