To create an affidavit of birth in Canada, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Find a commissioner of oaths or a notary public: In order to create an affidavit, you will need to find a commissioner of oaths or a notary public who is authorized to administer oaths and take affidavits. You can find a commissioner of oaths or a notary public through your local courthouse or by searching online directories.
  2. Gather your information: Before you meet with the commissioner of oaths or notary public, gather all of the information you will need to include in your affidavit. This should include your full name, date of birth, place of birth, and any other relevant details about your birth. You should also try to gather any supporting documentation that may help to confirm the information in your affidavit, such as hospital records or baptismal certificates.
  3. Prepare your affidavit: Once you have all of your information and supporting documentation, you can prepare your affidavit. An affidavit should include a heading that states the court and location where the affidavit will be filed, as well as the title of the case (if applicable). It should also include a statement that begins "I, [your name], of the [city or town] of [your city or town], in the [province/territory] of [your province or territory], MAKE OATH AND SAY THAT:" followed by a list of the information and details you are including in the affidavit.
  4. Swear or affirm the affidavit: Once you have prepared your affidavit, take it to the commissioner of oaths or notary public. They will ask you to swear or affirm that the information in the affidavit is true. If you swear the affidavit, you will be required to swear on a religious text, such as a Bible. If you affirm the affidavit, you will simply be required to affirm that the information is true.
  5. Sign the affidavit: Once you have sworn or affirmed the affidavit, you will be required to sign it in the presence of the commissioner of oaths or notary public. They will also sign and stamp the affidavit to confirm that it has been properly administered.
It's important to note that an affidavit is a serious legal document and you are required to swear or affirm that the information it contains is true. If you intentionally provide false information in an affidavit, you could be charged with perjury, which is a criminal offense.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
