How do I get a birth certificate in Saint Hilaire?▼
To get a birth certificate for someone born in Saint Hilaire, Minnesota (Pennington County), use the state-and-county shared system - any of Minnesota's 87 county Vital Records offices can issue any state birth certificate regardless of where the birth occurred.
