How to register a delayed birth in Ontario — and autofill your details with my-id.ca
Register a delayed birth without re-entering your personal details
A delayed birth registration package asks for each parent's full name and address multiple times across its forms. This guide is an example of storing those repeating parent details in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Register a birth (new baby) — ontario.ca
What this form is about
If a birth was not registered within the required period, ServiceOntario issues a delayed registration package. The completed package is mailed to the Office of the Registrar General in Thunder Bay.
Before you start: what to gather
- Each parent's full name, date of birth, and current address.
