Link & Information: 1940 National Registration
« on: Sunday 16 October 05 14:37 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

Just thought I would post a note to let anyone know that when you order a copy of the 1940 National Registration they tell you it takes about 60 days from receipt.  I ordered one this week.  Hopefully it won't take so long, I'm not very good with waiting.

excuse me for asking what is the National Register? and where do you purchase it from.

Hi Pam,

Here's a copy from the web site:

The National Registration File of 1940 resulted from the compulsory registration of all persons, 16 years of age or older, in the period from 1940 to 1946. This information was originally obtained under the authority of The National Resources Mobilization Act and the War Measures Act. Custody of the records was subsequently given to Statistics Canada, then known as the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

As a result, the National Registration File of 1940 is not subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act but is instead covered by the Privacy Act. According to this Act, when a person has been dead for more than 20 years, the information is no longer considered to be personal and can be disclosed.


Here's the link:

I have been spoiled by the City of Birmingham in obtaining information, it only takes about 5 days to receive a bmd certificate in the mail from there to here in Ontario.

It costs $48.15 CDN, which is a little pricy, but I am at my wit's end on my grandfather and am just curious to see what he has put down!

Yes, I thought it quite expensive too, but I'm hoping there will be a little bit of information to help me figure out my grandfather.  If there is something it will be well worth it.

Karen,

Did you have to provide proof that your grandfather has been dead at least 20 years?

Thanks!

Hi Josephine,

Yes, I did have to send a copy of his death certificate, which luckily I have (well actually a funeral director's statement of death which is equivilant).  He died in 1972.

I had a pleasant surprise this morning when the courier showed up at my house with the copy of my registration.

You actually get a copy of the original and they give you a copy of it typed out since the original is on microfilm and is a little hard to read the questions which they ask.
