Nova Scotia Vital Statistics keeps a
record of all births that occur in Nova Scotia and can
only issue certificates for births that occurred in
Nova Scotia. Birth certificates are issued using the
information from the original Registration of Birth,
completed at the time of birth.
A birth certificate is a primary identification document,
which means it can be used to obtain other identification.
Birth certificates should therefore be kept in a secure
location, not in a wallet or purse.
This kit is designed to give you key information that
will help you in your birth certificate application
process.
