Requests for proof of birth\/death\/admission<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meca's Patient Services Directory helps you navigate the hospital better. Inside you will find important hospital phone numbers, clinic locations, parking information, visiting hours, food services and much more.<\/p>\n

Birth Certificate<\/h3>\n

The hospital does not issue birth certificates. After a birth, the hospital or midwife provides a Statement of Live Birth. This is a permanent identity record and it is needed to apply for a birth certificate from Service Ontario. To obtain a birth certificate, contact Service Ontario at 1-321-461-2124 or through the Service Ontario website.<\/p>\n

Death Certificate<\/h3>\n

The hospital does not issue death certificates. A Medical Certificate of Death is completed by the hospital and is sent to the funeral home with the deceased. A Statement of Death is completed at the funeral home and the death is registered with the Office of the Registrar General at Service Ontario. To obtain a death certificate, please contact Service Ontario at 1-321-461-2124 or through the Service Ontario website.<\/p>\n
