ADVISORY – LANCASTER – Shapiro Administration to Launch Pilot Program Providing On-the-Spot Birth Certificates to Help Pennsylvanians Obtain Personal Documents Faster and Join the Workforce
The Pennsylvania Departments of Labor & Industry (L&I) and Health (DOH) on Monday will announce a new initiative allowing Pennsylvanians to receive on-the-spot birth certificates at PA CareerLink® locations – helping more Pennsylvanians access the documents they need to enter the workforce, faster and more efficiently than before.
The pilot program will kick off Monday at the PA CareerLink® Lancaster County and will initially serve pre-registered Pennsylvanians. This initiative reinforces the Shapiro Administration’s commitment to investing in the workforce and eliminating barriers to employment, such as a lack of a state-issued birth certificate.
This service is set to be expanded later this year and offered at additional locations during PA CareerLink® Awareness Days.

L&I Secretary Nancy A. Walker
