I was born over seas. How do I request my birth certificate?

Question

I was born in 1979, in Germany. My birth certificate says West Germany. While I still have the original copy of it, after all these years, how do I go about requesting a copy if I ever need it?

Both my parents are US citizens. My dad was in the army and stationed in Germany, and my mother living on the base there in the family housing with the other service people's family. And I was born there, on the Army base.

If I ever need a copy of my birth certificate, where do I start? A german embassy, the us state department? Where? Thanks.

Answer 3

I just recently tried https://tr.im/NnK71 last month to see if I could track down my birth-parent. My bio father left me when I was 8, and has refused to contact me since. I grew up with my biological Mother and Step-father. I have only ever talked to my biological dad a couple times till recently. All I knew of him personally when I conducted the search was his full name, and the state of a previous address he used to have.

When the results came back based on the minimal info I had, It pulled up a current address even his phone number. When I called the phone no., I heard the voice of what sounded like it may be my step-brother. I asked if Joseph(my bio father) was present, and he said no but to try back after 7.

I haven't done anything with the info since, But yeah I found what I was interested in.
