Saskatchewan Birth, Marriage and Death Records for Canadian Citizenship by Descent
For citizenship by descent, Saskatchewan records come from eHealth Saskatchewan. Anyone can order a genealogical copy of a birth over 100 years old, a marriage over 75 or a death over 70 for $55. Newer records go only to eligible applicants. Ask for the long form birth certificate, which shows the parents.
since 1991
Where do I order Saskatchewan records for citizenship by descent?
Order from eHealth Saskatchewan. You can search its Genealogy Index for free, then order a genealogical copy of a birth registered more than 100 years ago, a marriage more than 75 years ago or a death more than 70 years ago for $55 (eHealth Saskatchewan, checked October 2026).
Vital events are registered one by one, so the records are not linked to show family relationships.
Which Saskatchewan birth document should I order?
For a recent birth, order the long form birth certificate for $40. It shows the parents’ full names and places of birth. For a birth over 100 years old, order the genealogical copy of the original registration for $55.
What to know before you order
- Genealogical copy: $55, which is a $25 search fee and a $30 copy fee, and the $30 is refunded if no record is found
- Copy of registration: a copy of the registration of live birth costs $55 and cannot be used as identification
- Limits: some records may be restricted by Saskatchewan law
Which office holds your record?
The age of the event, or the type of record, decides the office.
Genealogical records
- Births over 100 years old
- Marriages over 75 years old
- Deaths over 70 years old
Newer records
- Births: the person aged 15 or older, a parent if the child is under 18, or a guardian
- Marriages: either spouse or an adult child of both
- Deaths: the spouse, a named parent or an adult child

Saskatchewan records FAQs
Where do I get Saskatchewan records for citizenship by descent?
Order from eHealth Saskatchewan, online, by mail or courier, or in person at its Regina office (eHealth Saskatchewan, checked October 2026). Start with the Genealogy Index and the birth certificate page.
Which Saskatchewan records are genealogical?
Births registered more than 100 years ago, marriages more than 75 years ago and deaths more than 70 years ago. Anyone can order a genealogical copy of those for $55.
What does the $55 genealogical copy include?
It includes a $25 search fee and a $30 copy fee. If no record is found, the $30 copy fee is refunded.
Which birth document should I order?
For a recent birth, order the long form birth certificate for $40, because it includes the parents’ names. For an older birth, order the genealogical copy of the registration.
Who can order a recent birth, marriage or death record?
A birth: the person aged 15 or older, a parent if the child is under 18, or a guardian. A marriage: either spouse or an adult child of both. A death: the spouse, a parent named on the birth registration or an adult child aged 18 or older. See the marriage page and the death page.
Can I use a copy of the registration as ID?
No. A copy of the registration is commonly used for international purposes, but it cannot be used as personal identification.
Do I need records from other provinces too?
Possibly. Each province keeps its own records, so you order each event from the province where it happened. See our guide to vital records offices in every province.
What if the Saskatchewan record is missing?
Keep any search result you receive and look for other records from the original authority. Read our guide on what IRCC accepts when a record is missing.
Does a Saskatchewan record alone prove my citizenship?
No. It proves one link in your chain. You need documents for every generation, and then you apply to IRCC for a citizenship certificate. See our citizenship by descent guide.
