  Welcome to the Vital Statistics Agency Web Site

Welcome to the Vital Statistics Agency website. Here you will find information to help you register and order certificates for vital events, such as a birth, death or marriage. This website also includes specific information and annual reports on the vital events and the health of British Columbians.

Important Service Notice:

Due to the increased demand for the new British Columbia birth certificate, we are experiencing delays in processing large volumes of mail. As a result, current processing time for mailed in applications is approximately 10-12 working days for regular service.

Please note, there are no processing delays associated with on-line orders.

You can now order your certificate on-line using our secure, easy to use, electronic application service.
