What Does It All Mean?

These definitions tell us which certificate to file at the point of delivery. Any evidence of life requires a Certificate of Live Birth. If the baby then dies, even if just a moment afterwards, then a Certificate of Death is also required.

If, however, there are no signs of life at delivery, then a Certificate of Stillbirth alone is required. No circumstances exist where a stillbirth certificate would be filed in combination with a birth or death certificate. This decision-making process is illustrated in the Stillbirth Flowchart (PDF, 128 KB).
