All Ontario parents can now use an online service to register their baby’s birth and apply for a birth certificate and Social Insurance Number, all at the same time.
The Newborn Registration Service lets parents combine three separate processes into one easy-to-use online form. This reduces the amount of waiting and processing time, and saves parents the fee that some municipalities used to charge for birth registration.
This online service is a joint project between ServiceOntario and Service Canada and was first launched in 2007. It is now available in all Ontario communities.
