You are going to have to buy a copy of your birth certificate from the state.
Most people know when and where they were born by the time they are 5 or so. You'd satisfy a number of curious people if you would add details telling us why you don't know.

If you were adopted at birth, they may have filed a false one saying you were born to your adopted parents in their home town; that makes things easier in some ways - like when they register you for school - and harder in others.

With rare exceptions - people born in California 1905 - 1995 is one - there aren't birth records for living people on genealogy sites, to deter identity theft.
