Can I replace my citizenship certificate if there is a spelling or other mistake on it?

Yes. We will replace your citizenship certificate if:
* we made a mistake in processing it, and
* it has been 90 days or less since you received your citizenship certificate.
You must resubmit an application for a citizenship certificate and pay the processing fee if it has been more than 90 days since:
* you received your certificate at a citizenship ceremony,
* your certificate was mailed to you, or
* you picked it up from a Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate.
You must also follow this process to replace your citizenship certificate for another reason.
## We have stopped issuing citizenship cards
As of February 1, 2012, the citizenship certificate replaced the plastic wallet sized citizenship card as proof of citizenship. We no longer give out citizenship cards or the commemorative certificates that came with them. If you apply to update or replace your citizenship card, we will send you a citizenship certificate.
