The legislation governing births registered with Saskatchewan Vital Statistics allows Vital Statistics to publish a genealogical index of those births that occurred more than 100 years ago.

Over the years, the data collected on birth registration forms has changed. The older records have less information available and the database contains limited information. For example, many of the birth records do not contain the father's name.

Choosing a specific place of birth will further limit your search. If you are unsure of the place in Saskatchewan where the person was born, leaving the item blank will expand the search and return more information. In some cases, the official document may have been illegible or the information necessary for the index was not provided. For all information collected at the time of registration, a photocopy of the record will have to be ordered.

If you wish to purchase photocopies of any of the records you located, simply add them to your Application Form. No refunds or replacement of documents will be given for copies of the records issued based on your search. When your selection is complete, print the Application Form, fill in the address and fee information and mail or fax it to Vital Statistics. Faxed requests will be accepted only if the payment method is by credit card and the required authorizing signature is included.
