Ontario Vital Statistics keeps a record
of all births that occur in Ontario and can only issue
certificates for births that occurred in Ontario. Birth
certificates are issued using the information from the
original Registration of Birth, completed at the time
of birth. The birth must be registered with the province
in order for the certificate to be issued.
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.
