McCarthy, J.
Petitioner, an adult adoptee, petitioned Family Court for access to her sealed adoption records on the ground of medical need. The application was denied, prompting this appeal. We affirm.
Domestic Relations Law § 114 (2) provides, as relevant here, that "[n]o order for disclosure or access and inspection [of sealed adoption records] shall be granted except on good cause shown." Under the statutory scheme, "[c]ertification from a physician licensed to practice medicine in the state of New York that [access to sealed adoption records] is required to address a serious physical or mental illness shall be prima facie evidence of good cause" (Domestic Relations Law § 114). The statute goes on to require that such physician "certification shall identify the information required to address such illness" (Domestic Relations Law § 114). Here, petitioner's submissions in support of the application were inadequate to meet these statutory requirements.
First, petitioner did not submit a certification from a licensed New York physician. While she submitted unsworn letters from an out-of-state social worker and physician, these letters did not comply with the certification requirement under the statute ( see Golan v Louise Wise Servs., 69 NY2d 343, 346; Matter of Donald W., 225 AD2d 701). In addition, neither the social worker nor the physician indicated that petitioner's access to her adoption records was "required" to address a serious physical or mental illness, or identified the information needed to address any such illness ( cf. Matter of Wilson, 153 AD2d 748, 749). As prima facie good cause was not established in petitioner's submissions, Family Court properly dismissed the application ( see Golan v Louise Wise Servs., 69 NY2d at 347-348; Matter of Michael Z., 38 AD3d 912, 912-913, lv denied 8 NY3d 814; Matter of Donald W., 225 AD2d at 701).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs.
