Register a newborn in Ontario — and reuse the details for every next step

New parents fill the same names and addresses into the birth registration, the birth certificate, the SIN application and the health card — usually in the first sleepless weeks. This guide is an example of storing those details once in hivi so the newborn bundle autofills.

Official form and source

Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — links and the services bundled can change:

• Service page: Register the birth of your new baby — ontario.ca
• Online service: Newborn Registration Service

What this form is about

The Statement of Live Birth registers your baby's birth in Ontario. Through the online newborn bundle it can also kick off the birth certificate, Social Insurance Number, and health card at the same time.

Before you start: what to gather

• The baby's name, date of birth, and place of birth.
• Both parents' full names and birthplaces.
• Your current address.

Confirm the current newborn registration process on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Save the parents once. Store both parents' names, birthplaces and address in hivi — these repeat across every step of the bundle.
2. Add the baby. Keep the baby's name and birth details in hivi for the certificate, SIN and health card, and for years of school and benefit forms to come.
3. Autofill it. Use the hivi Chrome extension on the online form, or fill a PDF from your saved details inside hivi.
4. Review and submit yourself.

Why do it in hivi

The newborn bundle is the clearest case for "enter once, reuse everywhere." With the family's details stored in hivi — in Canada, with self-hosted AI — each follow-on form starts nearly complete, which is exactly what you want with a newborn at home.
