Question regarding Minor's ID

[fly_van]

Hello Seniors,
I plan to apply citizenship together with my kid (9 years old) in the end of this month, i prepared 2 IDs for her

1) Passport Bio Page
2) BC Service card

However, I find in the BC service card, the address is the old address when we first came to Canada. I called BC Health, they told me in their system, the address for my daughter is already the new address we are currently living. But they usually don't send new card with new address unless required.

So I would like to know can i just submit the application with the BC Service card which has the old address? To request a new card, it takes around 2 month so I just don't want to wait that long.

I also have a school record for my daughter at hand, however it was issued from school in May 2020, if BC service card with old address is not a good ID, should i use school record? is it accepted for school record issued on 2020 May?

Thank you very much.

I requested for my kids and it took less than a month. After requesting with Health official, I also called DL office to request for expedited processing ...still BC

Thanks for this info.

I called IRCC, they don't have concrete answer for the address of Service card. They said it is up to me to decide whether to submit the Service card with old address. I also called Health BC, they said usually for kids with no photo service card, they don't send new card with new address unless requested.

So I believe submit the Service card with old address, it should not be a big problem. But to be on the safe side, I would use school report.

Hope this could also help others. Thanks!
