Follow Link QUEBEC BIRTH CERTIFICATE

The birth certificate is an authentic document issued by the Directeur de l'état civil that prove that the birth occurred in Québec. Directeur de l’état civil Quebec keeps a record of all births that occur in Quebec and can only issue certificates for births that occurred within the province. Birth certificates are issued using the information from the original Registration of Birth, completed at the time of birth. The birth must be registered with the province in order for the certificate to be issued.

A birth certificate is a primary identification document, which means it can be used to obtain other identification. Birth certificates should therefore be kept in a secure location, not in a wallet or purse.
