Requirements
When you create a CAMLPR Flexible Pathways account, you will be asked to upload at least one piece of government-issued photo identification (ID).
Example ID types:
- Passport
- Driver’s licence
- Government-issued ID card (federal, provincial, territorial, international)
- Government-issued employee ID
Before you upload your ID, please confirm that your document meets ALL of these requirements:
- Your ID must include ALL of the following:
- Your full legal name (this must exactly match the name provided in your application)
- Date of birth
- Your photo
- Your signature
- Valid date (not expired)
- Your ID must be issued by a government authority (federal, provincial, territorial, state, or the equivalent in another country).
- Some government-issued IDs do not contain all the required information on their own. For example, the Canadian Permanent Resident card does not include a signature and will not, on its own, meet the requirements.
- If one ID document does not include all the required details, you can upload more than one. To show the documents belong to you, they need to share at least one piece of information, such as your name or date of birth, so that we can confirm they both belong to you.
- You must provide both the front and the back of your ID.
- If you are providing a passport, provide the two-page spread showing both the photo page and the facing page when your passport is open.
All requirements must be met to avoid processing delays.
