I have reclaimed my Indigenous name. How do I update my permanent resident card?

If you’ve reclaimed your Indigenous name, you can change the name on your permanent resident (PR) card by applying for a new one.

Include a Statutory Declaration [IRM 0005] if you

  • are applying for a replacement PR card and
  • can’t amend your birth certificate or get a legal change of name document
    • You’ll also need to include proof you can’t get these documents (for example, a rejection letter from your province or territory).

Apply for, renew or replace a PR card
