Birth Registration and Death Certificates

City Services

Registering a newborn baby

Parents now complete the newborn registration online and submit it directly to Service Ontario's Office of the Registrar General. This new service allows parents to electronically submit the Statement of Live Birth and submit applications for a birth certificate and social insurance number at the same time.

You no longer register your newborn with the municipality.

Travel letters

Travel letters are no longer available. If parents are required to travel with their newborn and have not applied for a birth certificate at the time of registration, contact the Office of the Registrar General at 1-800-461-2156 or visit www.serviceontario.ca. Canada Customs or a travel agency can also provide information regarding what documents would be required to travel with a newborn.

Provincial Certificates

Visit www.serviceontario.ca to order certificates.

You can apply for:

  • An Ontario birth certificate
  • A marriage certificate
  • A death certificate

Download the application and return it, with the applicable fees set out on the application form to:

Office of the Registrar General
189 Red River Rd
