Are you looking for certified copies for a citizenship application under Bill C-3?

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not currently require certified copies for citizenship applications. You can find information on how to apply and the documents required for applications in IRCC’s application instruction guide.

If Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has digitized documents in our collections that could support your citizenship application, you can download them directly. You do not need to order copies. Learn more about documents that can be found at LAC and how to access them.

Cost

LAC cannot count the number of pages in a text document before we start processing it, so it is not possible to give a price estimate in advance. For example, the reference number that you give from an archival record may refer to a box that holds thousands of pages.

If you’re unsure of how large your order will be, you can set a limit for the number of pages that you will pay for on the form.
