Clientele
Anyone who has lost a birth certificate or copy of an act of birth, or had it stolen.
Requirement
The applicant’s name must be mentioned on the act of birth.
To declare the loss or theft of a birth certificate or a copy of an act of birth, call the Directeur de l'état civil.
Note
The above procedure must be followed before applying for a new birth certificate or a new copy of an act of birth. To prevent identify theft, a note will be added to the Québec register of civil status in order to void the lost or stolen document.
