To be eligible to apply for MNBC services you must be a citizen or have an active application with the registry.

• An application for citizenship filled out with your signature.

• A photo. Please see photo guidelines.

• Proof of residency, such as a copy of your BC driver's license or BC identification card.

• A copy of your long form birth certificate showing your parents' names, or have this document on order with vital statistics in the province you were born in.

• You must continue to work with registry staff to obtain all missing elements until your application is complete to maintain your active applications status.
