Yukon Birth, Marriage, and Death Records - National Institute

History
The most northwesterly part of Canada, bounded by Alaska on the west, the 60th parallel on the south, the Northwest Territories on the east and the Beaufort Sea on the north is known as the Yukon Territory. This former Hudson’s Bay Company territory was acquired by Canada in 1870 and incorporated in the Northwest Territories then. It was made a provisional district in 1895 and a separate territory in 1896 after gold deposits were discovered.

Records 1898 on
Vital Statistics from 1898 are in the care of the Deputy Registrar. There are no special genealogical certificates issued. Record searches are undertaken and regular certificates are issued. Contact the office for current costs. At the time of printing, the charges were $10 to activate a search plus $1 for each year you want searched up to 10 years.

If a certificate is not specifically requested then the information found is included in letter form. All search requests must be in writing. Full information and application forms are online.
