Due to the exceptional situation caused by COVID-19, and in order to curb the progression of the virus, the Directeur de l'état civil has put the following measures in place to ensure your safety, as well as that of our employees:

• Reduced services due to the restricted number of employees at our offices;
• Complete closure of our Québec and Montréal service counters;
• Suspension of Directeur de l'état civil services offered at Services Québec regional offices.

These measures will have the following impacts:

• Delay the registration of births, marriages, civil unions and deaths;
• Increase processing time of applications for certificates and copies of acts.

Thank you for your understanding.
