Request a postal address

Under what circumstances can you request a postal address?

• If you will be living abroad for 8 months or fewer.
• If you are living in a care institution or prison.

  • Complete the first part of the form yourself.
  • Have the last page of the form completed by the main resident who gives permission for the postal address.
  • The main resident and you must both sign the form.
    Note: fill in each question completely and truthfully.
• A copy of the main resident's ID.
• A copy of your ID.
• Evidence of your stay in a care, penitentiary or other institution (if applicable).

You must add all the attachments mentioned to your application, otherwise we will not process your application.
