Deaths: Introduction

By law, every death in Saskatchewan must be registered with Vital Statistics. Registration is necessary to establish the legality of the death. Without registration you cannot obtain a death certificate.

A death certificate is required:

  • As legal proof of the death
  • To settle an estate
  • To receive entitlements for benefits such as pensions and insurance.

Order a Death Certificate 

Death Certificates can be ordered at any ISC Customer Service Centre, by fax or by mail.
