The Process

Three steps. One permanent record.

The buying process is simple. What you receive is permanent.

Enter Details
Submit the birth record

Enter your child's birth details — name, date, time, place, and any additional data you choose to include. Takes under 10 minutes. Every field beyond the basics is optional.

Approve Proof
Review every detail

A watermarked digital proof is sent within 24 hours. You review every name, date, and data point. Nothing is printed until you confirm it is correct.

Receive Artifact
The record arrives

Your Birth Codex is printed on archival paper, privately numbered, and shipped. One document. Issued once. Kept for life.

Detail Accuracy Promise

Nothing is printed until you approve the proof. Every name, date, time, and data point is reviewed by you before production begins. If anything is wrong, you request a revision. We correct it. Then and only then does the record go to print.

Begin Your Child's Birth Codex

Your digital proof is prepared within 24 hours. Production begins only after your approval.

Birth details are easy to scatter. A hospital bracelet gets boxed away. Photos disappear into phones. Stories change with time.

The Birth Codex gives your child one permanent origin record — a document they can hold years from now and know: this is where my story began.

From Families Who Chose Permanence

Real families. Real records.

I had no idea something like this existed. When the Codex arrived, I sat with it for an hour. It felt like holding a piece of history — I kept thinking, she'll have this when she's forty.

Mother of Amara · Born March 2026

We had our son's Codex created two weeks after his birth. The detail — his time of arrival, the celestial alignment, everything assembled into one document — it's not like anything else.

Parents of Elijah · First Codex, January 2026

Our midwife introduced us to My Birth Codex. I ordered one for our daughter and then immediately ordered one for my niece's newborn. It's the kind of thing you give and people never forget.

Common Questions

Before you begin.

Your child's full name, date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth are the core requirements. Everything beyond that — family heritage, additional identity fields, symbolic context — is optional. If you don't have every detail at the time of submission, you can note what's available and complete the record during proof review.

Yes. Every Birth Codex includes a digital proof review before production begins. You receive a watermarked proof within 24 hours of submission. Nothing is printed until you confirm it is correct. If any detail needs to be changed, you request a revision and we correct it before the record goes to print.

Once you approve the proof and production begins, the record is printed as submitted. This is why the proof review step exists — to give you full control before anything is committed to the archive. If you discover an error after production, contact us at hello@mybirthcodex.com and we will review your case directly.

Submission takes under 10 minutes. Your digital proof is prepared within 24 hours. Once you approve, production and shipping typically complete within 7–10 business days. Total time from order to delivery is generally under two weeks.

Yes. The Birth Codex is private by design. Your child's birth data is used solely to produce their record. It is not sold, shared, or disclosed to third parties. The private record number associated with your child's Codex is stored in a private archive and is not publicly accessible.

No. The Birth Codex is a commemorative archival artifact, not a government birth certificate. That said, governments have long recognized private family records — Family Bible entries, baptism certificates, early private records — as supporting evidence of origin. The Birth Codex formalizes that tradition. It is a permanent, private record of family origin, created for the family, not for governmental use.

The Birth Codex is a commemorative archival artifact, not a government birth certificate or legal identity document.
