“Welcoming a baby and choosing a name are unforgettable milestones,” McCarthy noted. He emphasized that the government aims to support parents during this special time by reducing administrative burdens.
Parents are reminded to register their child’s birth within 30 days of welcoming their newborn.
The province offers a 5-in-1 Newborn Bundle through ServiceOntario, which allows families to register their newborns and apply for vital documents like birth certificates and Social Insurance Numbers without leaving their homes.
