When you need to apostille a Maryland birth certificate, you will need to make sure to have a certified copy of the vital record beforehand. If you need to order one, your best bet is to go through the Maryland Department Of Health. Here's what their website says about obtaining one:
The Following Persons May Apply for a Maryland birth certificate:
An individual requesting his/her own birth certificate.
A parent named on the certificate.
A court-appointed guardian of the individual named on the certificate. A foster care appointment is not acceptable; proof of guardianship must be submitted.
A surviving spouse of the individual named on the certificate.
A representative of: (1) the individual or a parent named on the certificate; or (2) the court-appointed guardian of the individual named on the certificate.
