• Release of Adoption Information
• Substitute Senate Bill 23 was signed into law on December 19, 2013. This law substantially changes the process by which an adopted person requests identifying information from an adoption file. The release of identifying adoption information surrounding an adopted person will be handled by the Ohio Department of Health. However, the Probate Court will continue to handle the release of non-identifying information (such as the Final Decree of Adoption). For additional information on the release of identifying information, and the effective dates of the various provisions of the new legislation, please contact the Ohio Department of Health at 614-466-2351. Additional information can also be found on their website:
  
  http://www.odh.ohio.gov/vitalstatistics/legalinfo/adoptfnl.aspx
  
  An adopted person (or adoptive parent of a minor) who wishes to obtain non-identifying information should complete and file Form 40.4 Petition for Release of Non-identifying Information and Form 40.1 Affidavit of Adopted Person. An applicant must appear in person with two forms of ID or include a photo copy of these IDs with their filings.
