Online application for a certificate or copy of an act

Avoid additional processing time!

Additional time will be needed to process a declaration of birth, marriage, civil union or death if the form is incomplete or contains non-compliant information.


Online applications for a certificate or copy of an act may not be modified or canceled.


Since June 1, 2022, all acts of civil status are drawn up in French in the Québec register of civil status.

The certificate and the copy of an act contain the information that appears in the act recorded in the register. The spelling is that of the act, and not the spelling provided in the application for a certificate or a copy of an act. In addition, certificates and copies of an act are issued in the language in which the act was drawn up.

This service allows citizens to apply safely online for a certificate or copy of an act, at any time and from anywhere. Procedure

  • Have your identity authenticated by clicSÉQUR.
  • Order your documents.
  • Pay online.

I have read and accept the conditions of use.

Select the event for which you are applying for a certificate or copy of an act.

This service is for you, if:

  • your name is mentioned in the act (section 148 of the Québec Civil Code).

If not, you must:

  • establish your interest in obtaining a certificate or a copy of an act that concerns someone else (section 148 of the Québec Civil Code).

The Directeur de l’état civil reserves the right to demand that persons applying for a certificate or a copy of an act supply the information and documents required to establish their identity and interest in filing an application.

The Directeur de l'état civil must ensure that only authorized persons request and receive certificates and copies of acts. Therefore, you cannot use the present service if you are acting as the legal representative (e.g., social service provider, spouse) of the person concerned by the event.
