How do I apply for a birth certificate for my Canadian-born child?

You must fill out an application and submit it online or by mail.

A birth certificate is a legal document that establishes identity. It can be used as a piece of identification when you register your child for health services, a passport, or some other services.
Only children born in Ontario can get an Ontario birth certificate. If your child was born in Canada but not in Ontario, contact the Vital Statistics Office in the province or territory where your child was bornhttp://www.settlement.org/sys/faqs_detail.asp?k=LIFE_BIRTH&faq_id=4000205
