Online Certificate Application


Welcome to the Government of Manitoba Vital Statistics Branch's Online Certificate Application website.

Eligible applicants can apply for birth, death or marriage certificates for events that have been registered in Manitoba. (Registration can take 6 to 8 weeks from the date the birth, marriage or death took place, depending on the event.)

  • Send by mail or courier to:

    Government of Manitoba Vital Statistics Branch

    Winnipeg MB R3C 0B6


Processing time:

Every event must be fully registered before a document about the event can be issued. This is because the registered information is printed on the document.

Two service options are available:

Regular issuance service: Applications for regular issuance service are processed in the order received and sent to applicants via Canada Post.

Rush issuance service: Applications for rush issuance service are processed within three business days, and sent via courier. Shipping time is extra. Selecting rush issuance service speeds up the processing of an application for a document. It does not speed up the registration of a vital event.


Although a payment may be processed immediately, regular issuance service or rush issuance service (as selected by the applicant), will start after a vital event is registered correctly, and in full.
