Vital Statistics Offices Directory
Vital statistics offices across Canada in one verified listing — every province and territory, each linked to its official page.
13 verified listings · last refreshed 2026-11-14
Birth, marriage and death certificates, and legal name changes, are handled by the province or territory where the event happened — there is no federal vital statistics office. This directory lists the vital statistics office for each province and territory, so you can start from the official page that holds the record.
Fees, processing times and who may apply differ by jurisdiction and change often — always confirm the current figures and eligibility on the office's own page before you apply. Entries are re-checked on the Second Pass volatile schedule.
