Records of birth certificates are generally kept by states, at least for the last 100 years or so.
The National Center for Health Statistics has information on obtaining birth, death, marriage, and divorce records. Specifically, look at their page "Where to write for vital records" and select your state.
Some of this information is also available online through Genealogy.com, if you pay for a membership.
