How to apply for a certificate

All the appropriate sections of the application form must be completed in full.

Incomplete applications or those with insufficient payment will be returned.

Documents can be issued only if the birth, marriage or death occurred in Manitoba. Certificates contain information extracted from the original registration filed at our office.

Birth certificates are issued in the applicant's birth name, unless a legal change of name has occurred. If you have changed your name upon marriage, please provide your name before your first marriage.
