Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

birth certificate w/o proper documentation

My cousin, who is 47 years old, just told me she can't go on vacation abroad because she doesn't have a birth certificate. Her mother, who has been deceased for 20 years gave birth under a fictitious name. The hospital has burned down and she has no records of the birth. How does she go about getting a birth certificate. What a mess!

I'd appreciate any information you can give me.
