Nonviable Birth, Commemorative Certificate for the passing of a baby before birth. A nonviable birth is an unintentional, spontaneous fetal demise occurring prior to the twentieth week of gestation during pregnancy that has been verified by a health practitioner. (This commemorative certificate is not proof of a live birth).
The certificate is retroactive and covers infants from 0-20 weeks of gestation, in a pregnancy verified by a health care practitioner. There are two routes available to obtain the certificate: 1) a letter with the signature of the healthcare practitioner or their designee or 2) an application and a worksheet . A health care practitioner/health care facility will advise a patient who experiences a nonviable birth that the patient may request a commemorative certificate and, upon request of the patient, shall provide a letter verifying the nonviable birth to the patient.

Signature of the health care practitioner or their designee
Full name of baby (if named)
