SIN Application form

You do not need to complete this form if you are applying in-person at a Service Canada point of service.

You must complete this form if you are applying from outside Canada.

Special measures are in place to accommodate individuals who cannot apply in-person at a Service Canada point of service:

  • Individuals living 100 km or more from the nearest Service Canada point of service, in an inaccessible area, or where outreach is very infrequent may apply by mail. To confirm your eligibility to apply by mail, you must verify your postal code.
  • Individuals with other extenuating limitations preventing them from visiting a Service Canada point of service and cannot use the assistance of another individual to submit an application on their behalf may be eligible to apply by mail. Note that individuals must contact Service Canada at 1-800-206-7218 (select Option #3) to determine if they are eligible to apply by mail.

If you are eligible to apply by mail, your application must be accompanied by original proof-of-identity documents and the fee for a replacement card (if applicable). Service Canada is not responsible for documents lost in the mail.

Refer to the Instruction Guide on the application form for more details.
