Birth Registrations
Parents will submit birth registration information, either electronically through www.serviceontario.ca or on paper by mail, directly to the Office of the Registrar General.
Birth Certificates
Once the Statement of Live Birth is received and processed by the Office of the Registrar General, a Notice of Registration is forwarded to the parents. This could take up to 16 weeks from the date of birth. Once the Notice of Registration is received, a Request for Birth Certificate can then be submitted directly to the Thunder Bay office:
Office of the Registrar General
P.O. Box 4600, 3rd Floor
189 Red River Road
Thunder Bay, Ontario P7B 6L8
The Request for Birth Certificate form is available from the Vital Statistics Unit at Kingston City Hall or online at www.serviceontario.ca. This Web site also offers a fully interactive online application with help features to guide users easily through the application process.
Online users can take advantage of faster processing options once the birth is registered, and a money back guarantee is offered if their online application has not been processed and delivered within 15 business days, subject to certain conditions. In addition, the Newborn Registration Service lets you submit your child's birth registration online and apply for a birth certificate and Social Insurance Number all at once. To begin this convenient process, please go to www.serviceontario.ca/newborn.
