Need for the Document

Alberta Vital Statistics maintains a record of all registered stillbirths that occur in Alberta and can only issue stillbirth documents for those particular events. If a record cannot be found, a record search can be completed for a consecutive three-year period. As a courtesy, Vital Statistics issues a document known as a Certificate of Registration in lieu of a Stillbirth certificate.

• Photocopy of a Registration of Stillbirth: This is a photocopy of the registration completed at the time of the stillbirth. This document contains pertinent information about the details of the stillbirth and provides parental information. It is printed on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper with an official raised seal and red stamp on the back indicating that it is a certified true copy of the original registration.
