Child Registration

Does your child need to be registered? 

Registration 

• confirms Inuit identity 

• can be done any time before age 18 

• provides access to IRC programs and support 

• is different from enrolment 

• qualifies your child for Health Canada and non-insured health benefits 

Inuvialuit Child Registration Application

Print a Notice with information on child registration

To request a birth certificate, contact the vital statistics office in your province or territory. 

The path from registration to enrolment

If you keep your address up to date, your child will receive an enrolment form in the mail when they turn 18. 

If the address is not up to date, they must apply in the year they turn 18 by submitting the current application form from the IRC website or requesting a copy from their community corporation office.

For information on enrolling as a beneficiary of the Inuvialuit Trust, visit the enrolment page.
