Birth Certificate Application

There is only one size of birth certificate. What varies is the amount of information it contains. The parent’s information may or may not be reflected, that is your choice. Various organizations may require one of the specific birth certificate styles.

All certificates are certified extracts of the original Registration of Birth.

Certificates and certified copies of birth records issued for a deceased person have a “Deceased” notation on them. This is in accordance with legislation and to protect the deceased from identity theft.

Altering and/or laminating Vital Statistics documents makes them invalid.
