Proof of Identity

Your full name will appear in the Find a Teacher section of the College web site along with information about your qualifications and the type of certificate you hold. The College does not list initials.

To complete your registration, the College requires proof of your identity - a copy of an official document that shows your full name at birth and the date and place of birth.

All applicants must submit a photocopy of one or more of the following documents:

• birth certificate
• Canadian or foreign passport (must include middle names)
• Certificate of Baptism if born in Quebec or Newfoundland (prior to January 1994)
• Canadian Immigration Record and Visa or Record of Landing (both sides)
• Permanent Resident Card.

Drivers' licences, Ontario Health Cards and Canadian Citizenship Cards are NOT acceptable proof of identity documents.

All documents not in English or French must be translated according to our translation guidelines.

If you married and changed your name, send a copy of your marriage certificate. If you changed your name legally, send a copy of the change of name certificate or the court order that changed your name.
