text: how long would it take take to get my birth records? i was born in germany my mother is a u.s cizten she was with my aunt at the time. my auny was in the miltary i was born on a u.s miltary base. i sent the paperwork and money for birth records last week depending on where they were at, it can take as little as 7 business days to up to 8 weeks.  all you can do now is wait.  didn't your parents have your birth records?  if they are in possession of them, why not ask them for them--it would be faster and free.
