VITAL RECORDS Alberta’s birth, marriage, and death registration began 1 April 1889. Beginning in 1878 some marriage returns were taken in parts of Alberta. Many of these records are restricted for reasons of privacy. In 1994 the Province of Alberta changed the process of obtaining vital information. People residing in Alberta must go to their local registry offices to obtain copies of vital information. They are not allowed to get information from the office in Edmonton. People residing outside Alberta should contact the Edmonton office at the following address:
