As of November 2009, birth registration is processed by the Province of Ontario and not by the City of Toronto. You can use the province’s Newborn Registration Service, by linking to “How to register a birth in Ontario” at http://www.ontario.ca/en/life_events/baby/004436.

This service also provides links to obtain a birth certificate and social insurance number.

If you are travelling with a newborn and need a birth certificate quickly, you can request it through the province’s Newborn Registration Service. Details are on the website at: http://www.ontario.ca/en/residents/ONT06_019042.

Travel letters are no longer issued by the City of Toronto. .
