How to change the sex designation on a child's Ontario birth registration — and autofill it with my-id.ca
Change a child's sex designation on an Ontario birth registration — then update their records
Changing the sex designation on a child's birth registration is one application that can cascade to their birth certificate and health card. This guide is an example of using my-id.ca to fill the application and the follow-on updates.
Official form and source
Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Changing your sex designation on your birth registration and birth certificate — ontario.ca
- Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for a Change of Sex Designation on a Birth Registration of a Child — 11327
What this form is about
The application asks ServiceOntario to update the sex designation on a child's Ontario birth registration to male (M), female (F) or non-binary (X). The process depends on the child's age, and consent or supporting declarations may apply.
Before you start: what to gather
- The child's current registration details: full name, date of birth, and place of birth.
- The requested designation (M, F or X).
- The applicant's details and relationship to the child.
- Any supporting documents, consents, or declarations (confirm on ontario.ca).
How my-id.ca makes it faster
- Store the family once. Save the child's and applicant's details in my-id.ca.
- Autofill the application. Use the my-id.ca Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside my-id.ca.
- Submit it yourself through ServiceOntario.
- Cascade the change. Autofill an updated birth certificate request and the child's health card update from the same profile.
Why do it in my-id.ca
An identity change only matters when it reaches every record. my-id.ca keeps one source of truth — stored in Canada, with self-hosted AI — so each follow-on form reflects the change without repeated typing.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the child application ask for?
- The child's current registration details (name, date of birth, place of birth), the requested sex designation (M, F or X), the applicant's information, and any supporting documents or declarations. my-id.ca can store the family details for autofill.
- Can my-id.ca store both the child's and applicant's details?
- Yes. Keep the child's information and the applicant/parent details so the application fills from saved profiles instead of being re-typed.
- Does my-id.ca process the change?
- No. my-id.ca autofills your information; you submit the official application yourself. Confirm the current process and consent requirements on ontario.ca.
