Authorize a next-of-kin death record search without retyping family details

Next of kin authorizing another person to search Ontario death records repeat their legal name, relationship to the deceased, mailing address, contact information, and the authorized searcher's details on every authorization. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Get or replace an Ontario death certificate — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Search for Death Records Next of Kin Authorization — on00546

What this form is about

Form on00546 authorizes a death record search by next of kin — confirm who may authorize and required identifiers on ontario.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Authorizing person's full legal name and relationship to the deceased.
• Mailing address and contact phone and email.
• Deceased person's full name and date of death if known.
• Authorized searcher's name and contact details.

Confirm the current process on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Save it once. Store your authorizer name, relationship, and contact details in your hivi profile.
2. Keep documents ready. Upload supporting documents to hivi Files so you are not searching at form time.
3. Autofill the form. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
4. Review and submit yourself through the official channel.
