Your Manitoba Health Card (Registration Certificate)
Manitoba Health issues a card (or registration certificate) to
all Manitoba residents, which includes a 9-digit lifetime identification
number for each family member. The white paper card has
purple and red print, and includes the previous 6-digit family
or single person’s registration number, name and address of
Manitoba resident, family member’s given name and alternate
(if applicable), sex, birthdate, effective date of coverage,
and 9-digit Personal Health Identification Number (PHIN).
Registration certificates issued by the Insured Benefits Branch confirm
eligibility, provided you continue to live in Manitoba. Carry your
certificate with you at all times and present it whenever you or your
dependants require health services.
Your registration is affected by any change in location or family
status. Please report a new address, a marriage, birth, adoption,
death, divorce or legal separation to the Insured Benefits Branch.
Registration certificates entitle persons named on the certificate
to health benefits. It is an offense under The Health Services
Insurance Act to allow a person to use the certificate whose name is
not recorded on the certificate.
If you lose your certificate, be sure to write or telephone the Insured
Benefits Branch for a replacement.
