Have your identity authenticated by Government Authentication Service
Procedure
-
Authenticate yourself with the Government Authentication Service.
- Order your documents.
- Pay online.
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.
