Register a newborn’s birth in Manitoba
How do I register my newborn’s birth in Manitoba?
For a Manitoba hospital birth, complete the Registration of Birth form from the hospital package and return it to staff before going home. For a home birth, contact Vital Statistics to arrange registration. Registration and ordering a birth certificate are separate tasks.
Where to begin
- For a hospital or health-facility birth, ask staff for the Registration of Birth Package; for a home birth, contact Manitoba Vital Statistics.
- Complete the form, checking the child’s names and parent information carefully. Correct errors before submission and sign the applicable sections.
- Return the completed form to hospital staff before leaving, or send a home-birth registration to Vital Statistics.
- Use the newborn-registration sections for a SIN and Canada Child Benefits if you want those applications included. Order a birth certificate separately when required.
Before you open the official service
- Parents’ details needed by the birth-registration form
- Chosen name spelling and completed consent/signature sections
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
Registration for a child aged one year or older follows the delayed-registration route. Use that process instead of the newborn instructions.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
