Frequently asked questions

What is a Canadian Birth Certificate Application Form?

A Canadian Birth Certificate Application Form is required when you need to obtain a copy of your own or someone else’s birth certificate from a Canadian province or territory.

It can be used to request a birth certificate for yourself, your child, or another person, as long as you have the necessary authorization.

Why would I need to request a copy of my birth certificate?

There are many reasons that you might need your birth certificate (or your child’s) such as:

  • applying for a passport,
  • enrolling in school,
  • getting a driver’s license, or
  • for other legal purposes

It’s important to check the specific requirements for the reason you need the birth certificate, as different organizations may have different requirements.

Can a notary be my guarantor for the Canadian Birth Certificate Application Form?

Yes! With NotaryPro’s Instant Online Notary service, a notary public who has known you for at least two years can sign your form as a guarantor. However, not all government organizations digital guarantor signatures. It’s best to check whether your recipient organization accepts forms signed by a guarantor digitally.
