Applying for a certificate using a rapid, secure access number (RSAN) is an easy, 3-step process :
- Enter your RSAN*.
- Order your documents.
- Pay online.
This service is for you, if :
-
you are the parent of a child whose birth has just been entered in the register of civil status and you have received a notice of confirmation of birth with an RSAN;
-
your marriage or civil union has just been entered in the register of civil status and you have received a notice of confirmation of marriage or civil union, with an RSAN.
If neither of these situations applies to you, use the regular online service.
* The RSAN is generated when a new birth, new marriage or new civil union is entered in the Québec register of civil status. It appears on the notice confirming that the event has been entered sent by mail, to parents and spouses. Only notices of confirmation mailed since April 19, 2010 bear a RSAN.
