Need a Long Form Birth Certificate?

The Ontario Registrar General Branch has agreed to provide an expedited process for sending long (extended) form birth certificates for births that occurred in Ontario. 

This special consideration will remain in place until February 28, 2005. At present there is no extra charge for this process but the waiver of an extra charge is not guaranteed for the entire time period.

How to use the expedited process

Print out this letter.

Attach this letter to the front of your application for “Certified Copy of Birth Registration”. (The “Application for Enrolment as an Algonquin Elector” on this website shows how to obtain an application form for “Certified Copy of Birth Registration.” See Appendix A1.a .)

What you can do to speed up the process

3. Check off the box that shows you are asking for “Certified Copy of Birth Registration.”

5. Attach the regular fee ($35).

6. After printing it out attach a copy of the above-noted letter to your application when submitting it.
