Minors identification IDs

[Barca]

Hello guys. I have a question. I am applying along with my one year old son for citizenship. I am stuck at his 2 required IDs. I know I can use his passport but what about the second ID? His health card probably won’t arrive until 3 months from now and I don’t want to wait till then to apply. He is one so he is not in school. Not sure what other ID I can use.

Immunization card

I have it but it is not signed by the doctor . It is a printed version. Not sure if that would be an issue

The health card for your son won't have a picture. So, You can write a letter explaining that you have only the passport. Please see below,

Children of preschool age may not be able to provide two identity documents or an identity document that includes their photo. In such cases, an explanation letter must accompany their application. Officers may use discretion for preschool age children.

Hope it helps,

Can we keep health card(no photo) and the passport copy?
Same issue at ontario wihch doesnt issue with photo. Also no other local id is issued in ontario. Seems the school board also varies in issuing IDs(/index cards etc - not all schools issue those records with photo).

Very helpful. Thanks a lot

Two (2) pieces of the child’s personal identification

Both pieces of identification should show your child’s name and date of birth, one of which must have a photo on it.

Examples include:

• school record
• health insurance card

If there is information on both sides of your child’s personal identification documents, provide a photocopy of both sides.

For a child under school age, identification such as:

• a passport page containing their photo and personal details, or
• a hospital or immunization record, may be provided

I have the immunization record. It is just not signed. Something like this https://www.signnow.com/jsfiller-mob11/?projectId=406079149#0d1c26f7002369e6048e293bd9473a9a

His health card won’t arrive until 3 months from now. So the option I have is to wait until then and apply or apply with the passport and unassigned immunization record, write a letter of explanation and hope for the best :/

I cannot open, but you can ask your immunization Centre to give signed one, they will provide one. atleast I got one updated one recently
