How long to get birth certificate?

Ds is over 3 weeks old and we still haven't received it. But we got his social security card over a week ago. Should I call the hospital, or town? Or give it a little more time? I thought it said in the paperwork that the SS card would take longer, so that's why I'm wondering, since we already got that.

Def give it at least 1 more week. For DS1 it took like 3-4 weeks for both (birth c. and ssc). For DS2 it took longer, 5 weeks for birth c. and 6 weeks for ssc.

Busier times of the year take longer. 3 weeks isn't that long. Give it time.

For both of my kids I ended up having to call town hall (I gave birth at Winthrop so I had to call Mineola town hall) to get the BC expedited and sent to me for insurance purposes.

I think it was 3 weeks to a month. I remember it being relatively quick. Baby was born in Manhasset. It depends on the town I think.
