What state I will get you the address. For example Pennsylvania
On January 1, 1906, birth and death records began to be officially recorded by the Commonwealth. Prior to 1906, records were not required to be maintained except in a few exceptional cases. During the years 1852-1854, the Register of Wills for each county was required by law to keep records and indexes of births, deaths and marriages. Copies from 49 of the 64 counties existing at that time are maintained at the Archives; however, returns are not inclusive for these years. From 1893 to 1906, birth and death records were recorded and maintained by the Clerk of the Orphans court at the various county courthouses; however, many individuals failed to comply with this law. Marriage licenses have been kept by the county Clerk of Orphans Court or the Marriage License Clerk since September 30. 1885.
County records, many of which are located on microfilm at the Archives, or unofficial sources such as newspaper files, church registers, family Bibles, and gravestone inscriptions must be used to obtain data for earlier years. Some original records that pertain to earlier years but are unindexed are: Governor's Accounts (Record Group 21), General Motion and Divorce Docket, 1750-1837 (Record Group 33), Divorce Papers, 1786-1815 (Record Group 33), and Coroner's Inquisition Papers (Record Group 33).
* Please keep in mind that Reference Archivists cannot search microfilmed county records (wills, deed, estate papers etc.)
For birth and death records, 1906-present, contact the Division of Vital Records, P.O. Box 1528, 101 South Mercer Street, new Castle, PA 16103; telephone (724) 656-3100.

This is the correct answer. Had to do it after I lost mine as well. It is actually the state you were born in, though.

I called the county courthouse where I was born and they sent me an application. I filled it out (had to get it notarized) and they sent a new birth certificate to me.
In order to get a passport in the US you have to send your original birth certificate which they will send back with your passport if you get one.
