Vital Statistics
Alberta Vital Statistics is responsible
for maintaining records of births, marriages and
deaths that occur in Alberta. As a Registry Agent
we process
applications for the following:
Certificate of Birth or Marriage (available
in wallet or framing size) Certificate of Death (available
in framing size only)
Certified Photographic Print of a Registration of
Birth/Stillbirth, Marriage or Death
Certified Photographic Print of a Medical Certificate of Death/Stillbirth
Certified Photographic Print of Legal Change of Name Certificate
Search letter for a birth/stillbirth, marriage or death
Who Can Apply for the Above Certificates?
Generally only the person themselves or any person
who has the written authorization of the individual
whose certificate is being requested. Lawyers and other
agencies can also make the request, as long as it is
submitted on their letterhead. If in doubt, please
check with us (403) 288-3333.
How Long Does it Take to Obtain the Certificate?
Applications for certificates are
processed by the Government the next working day and
are received by mail. There is a rush service available
to pick up the certificate at our office in 2-3 business
days. (Click

Certificates for events that occurred during the last
thirty days may not be available if the event has not
been registered. It may take up to one month for Vital
Statistics to receive birth, marriage or death information
from hospitals, ministers and funeral homes. You can
still make the application, but the certificate will
not be issued till the event information has been received
by Vital Statistics.
