What if my Canadian citizenship certificate is lost or stolen?

The citizenship certificate is a letter-sized piece of paper, which certifies that you are a Canadian. It is information about you, such as your name, date of birth and sex.
It is an official legal document that proves your citizenship status. It is not an identity document or a travel document.
The citizenship certificate used to be a wallet-sized card. If you have an old style certificate, it is still valid and you don't need to apply for a replacement.
