Death Certificate (Long Form):

The New Brunswick Death Certificate comes in Long Form only and includes the following information: name of deceased, sex, date of death, place of death, date of birth, province or country of birth, registration date, registration number and date issued.

Please Note: Legislation requires an application and/or certificate, along with a fee, for Vital Statistics to search records. A death certificate provides confirmation that the person died in New Brunswick. If no death record is found, you will receive a letter advising you that a record is not available.

Regular Service (15-25 business days)

$65.00 per certificate

Rush Service (5-7 business days)

$105.00 per certificate

Please Note: Fees listed above are inclusive of taxes and shipping costs. Delivery times are approximate and cannot be guaranteed. Applications may be delayed or rejected if inadequate information is provided or if there is a discrepancy between information provided and the government records. If no record of the death is found by New Brunswick Vital Statistics, fees will be applied to the search cost and will not be refunded.

If you have not received your ordered Death Certificate within the expected timeframe, you may contact the New Brunswick Vital Statistics Agency to check the status of your application.
