Need help with K1 Packet 3 - Montreal

unfortunately ontario won't let you order more than one copy due to 'security concerns'. i have been told i can write a letter and mail it in with my application and they may or may not let me have more than one copy, i just wasn't sure if this would be necessary. if they deny me two, i'd have to start the process over again just to get one. oooh boy. glad i'm starting all this sooner than later!

Hi erinanddavid... Just curious, why do you say you are not allowed to order more than one birth certificate? I believe it was CBR who's fiance was told the same thing, but this is simply not true. We ordered Scott's online and right in the application is an option to get more than one copy.

BTW, you don't actually need more than one, as far as I know. But if it would ease your mind to have an extra copy (as it did for us), it is just a bit more moolah to order 2.

hi rae,

i looked at ordering them online (in january) but i believe it would only let me order one at a time. that is when i contacted the office of the registrar general. i was told, via email, "Due to security reasons,you are only entitled to 1 birth certificate of each size.You can write a letter to the Deputy Registrar General,Judi Hartman explaining the situation with an application for 2 certified certificates and a fee of $70.00.Your letter and application will be reviewed and you will be notified whether you can have 2 or not."

i did notice that the PDF of the form doesn't say anything about the number you can order. you could also fill it in so that you are requesting more than one... hmmm...

so, that's where i'm at. i think i'd be smart to get 2 if i can... just in case. i'll likely include a letter to the deputy registrar general as well as a copy of the email they sent to me, in addition to the form. thanks for your input!
