Follow Link Alberta Birth Certificate Application Information kit

Alberta Vital Statistics keeps a record of all births that occur in Alberta and can only issue certificates for births that occurred in Alberta. Birth certificates are issued using the information from the original Registration of Birth, completed at the time of birth.

People born in Alberta must apply for their birth certificate through a registry agent. Those who already have a birth certificate are encouraged to get the new one and destroy their old birth certificate to protect against identity theft.

A new Alberta birth certificate has been introduced and will be available to order starting February 1, 2008 from registry offices throughout the province. This birth certificate has many new security features designed to prevent identity theft.

This kit is designed to give you key information that will help you in your birth certificate application process.

In this kit you will find:

	A list of required documentation needed
	How to submit your application
	How to pay your fees
	Some commonly asked questions
	A sample completed application form
	The Alberta Birth Certificate Application form
	The Alberta Out Of Province Application form (for persons who were born in Alberta but no longer reside there)
