    Hi Marilyn,

    The Hospital form is called Registration of Live Birth, and the one at Registrar (Vital Statistics) is called Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) or Statement of Live Birth (SOLB), it can also be referred to as A Certified Copy of Registration of Birth, Write in Fluro yellow diagonally, LONG FORM, across the application form when filling this one out and at the top write (pen) in capital letters, FULL CONFIDENTIAL COPY. Your Birth Certificate should come from there as well and that is a receipt to the SOLB/COLB, and it will have the Registration number on it. If you contact the office they should be able to point you in the right direction.

    All the best.
