Civil Status Documents Related to Birth: Certificate, Copy of an Act or Attestation
To declare the loss or theft of a birth certificate or copy of an act of birth, telephone the Directeur de l'état civil.
Note
This procedure must be followed before you apply for a new birth certificate or a new copy of an act of birth. A note will be added to the Québec register of civil status to invalidate the lost or stolen document, as a prevention measure against identify theft.
