Service details
Select the appropriate birth certificate type
Ontario offers birth certificates containing only the registrant's information, versions including parental information, and certified copies of birth registration. Purposes such as child passports or citizenship/immigration applications may require parental information or a detailed copy; please send the checklist to verify before ordering.
A hospital birth certificate does not replace the provincial birth registration process. This package applies to ordering certificates for events that are already registered; new registrations or data corrections require a separate assessment.
Supports eligible clients in requesting a birth certificate for a birth already registered in Ontario.
Service fees and estimated budget
KeyApply service fee: 100 CAD for the standard package scope below, excluding applicable taxes.
Order prices only include the KeyApply service fee. Government fees are paid separately by the client at the actual rate. Shipping/courier fees are also paid separately by the client.
- Estimated government fees: 25–35 CAD per standard copy, depending on the certificate type. Replacements, expedited processing, or rush orders may incur higher fees.
- Total estimated service and government fees: 125–135 CAD for one standard copy, excluding taxes, shipping, and any additional charges noted separately.
- Shipping budget references estimated by KeyApply: 15–35 CAD per trip within Canada; 50–100 CAD per trip internationally. This is not a carrier quote; actual prices depend on the address, number of trips, weight, and speed. There is no shipping fee from KeyApply for receiving electronic copies or in-person pickup at the office.
Clients may pay government fees directly when permitted by the agency, or pay separately for KeyApply to submit on their behalf as agreed. Any costs outside the package will be notified for client approval before proceeding. Estimates are subject to change based on the document type and agency fee schedules at the time of submission.
