- Birth information: Statewide registration of births began in 1908 in Oklahoma with general compliance by 1930. The best substitute record for locating birth information is death records (the majority of death records will list the date of birth of the decedent, and since death certificates are considered a primary resource, they can provide you with the same documentation as a birth certificate). Or, try these other substitute records.
