Most people who would call themselves "Born Again" are nondenominational or evangelical Christians, not Mormons.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") believe that a person "must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God" (Book of Mormon, Mosiah 27:25), but do not often call themselves "Born Again" because the term generally referrs to the other Christians who use it often. A Mormon would more commonly use the word "Converted" in it's place.
Yes, Mormons believe that through faith in Christ, repentence and baptism we are born again. Repentence means to turn away form a habit of sinning and turn to a life of following Christ. Baptism by emersion is a symbol of a covenant to follow Christ. Baptism is symbolic of birth in that we are born of the water, cleansed by the blood of Christ and given the spirit or Holy Ghost. As the member follows Christ, the Holy Ghost will guide them to all truth. Over time, true conversion occurs and the member loses all desire to do evil. He/She becomes a new person.
AnswerMembers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (who are often misnamed "Mormons") do not believe in reincarnation. However, they do believe in being spiritually born again, which is given outlined in John 3:3-7by the Savior Himself:
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Latter-day Saints believe that baptism by immersion and confirmation comprise an essential ordinance to gain eternal life. This is part of the being born again which Jesus spoke of: being born of water is baptism and being born of the Spirit is the confirmation by the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. For these ordinances to have any effect, though, a person must also have a true change of heart and a spiritual rebirth, accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior and following His commandments, repenting when he makes mistakes.

When is one born again?
When one is born again: One is born again at the very moment they place faith in Christ as savior. What happens at the moment of being born again: At this moment the Holy Spirit is given by God as a seal promising the future redemption of the body. At the same time the Holy Spirit baptizes the new believer into the Body of Christ. The group of true believers since the death and resurrection of Christ are also referred to as the Bride of Christ, so close is the union between Christ and his church. At the moment of being born again Christ takes the role as the believers Lord or Master, unto whom the believer is bound to serve and follow. Christ also becomes the believer's High Priest and Intercessor, going to God on behalf of the believer each time he sins. This is in response to the accusations made by Satan of the believers sin and unworthiness. At the moment of being born again, God the Father becomes the new believer's eternal Father. The "seed," by which the believer is born again is God's, meaning that the believer has gained the equivalent of divine genes. The new believer is not just casually related to God as Father, but it is a much more intimate and very real spiritually genetic relationship whereby the believer actually joins the divine family not just by adoption, but also by very real spiritual birth - ergo "born again." This should not be misconstrued as meaning that believers become gods, but rather very real sons and daughters of God, which is why scripture refers to Christ as the first-born, and believers are referred to as brothers and sisters of Christ. Finally, scripture also refers to those who are born again as part of a "new creation." When one is born again God has actually performed an act of creation, whereby the new believer becomes one of many humans who have undergone a transformation so vast that God calls them a "new creation is Christ Jesus." Believers are no longer part of the first creation that issued from Adam, but are now an entirely new creature/creation, the result of a creative act as valid and original as the acts of creation listed in the book of Genesis. These qualities that become true of the new believer are not true of every human being, but are restricted to only those who are truly born again. Even God's chosen people, the Jews, must be born again, as Jesus said to Nicodemus in the book of John, chapter 3. There are many more benefits and realities that become true of every believer at the moment of being born again, these are but a few of them.
