Order an Ontario death certificate without repeating yourself

Settling affairs after a death means proving the same facts over and over — to banks, pensions, insurers and the estate. This guide is an example of recording the death certificate details once in hivi so repeat requests and related forms are quick during a difficult time.

Official form and source

Order through the official ServiceOntario service and always use the current version — links and requirements can change:

• Service page: Get or replace an Ontario death certificate — ontario.ca

What this request is about

ServiceOntario issues a death certificate from the death registration. The request needs to identify the person and your relationship to them.

Before you start: what to gather

• The deceased person's full name.
• Date of death and place of death in Ontario.
• Your relationship to the person.
• The reason for the request.

Confirm the current requirements, eligibility, and fee on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it easier

1. Record it once. Save the deceased's name, date and place of death, and your relationship in hivi.
2. Keep documents together. Upload related paperwork to hivi Files so estate, bank and insurance steps are not a scavenger hunt.
3. Autofill repeat requests. Use the hivi Chrome extension on web forms, or fill a PDF from your saved details inside hivi.
4. Review and submit yourself through ServiceOntario.

Why do it in hivi

The same details recur across every institution you have to notify. Holding them once in hivi — stored in Canada, with no third-party AI — reduces the repetitive paperwork at a time when you have enough to deal with.
