You need to contact us when you want to legally change your given name(s) and/or your surname for any reason other than a marriage, divorce, annulment or the death of your spouse.

Also, you need to contact us when you want to legally change the name(s) of your child(ren) or legal dependent(s).

If you have a common-law spouse and you want to change your name, you must file a declaration to that effect with Vital Statistics. Please contact our Customer Support Team at 1-866-275-4721 for more information.

To register your legal name change on your customer account or on any Land Title(s) you may hold with us, please complete the Individual Change of Name / Client Number form and the appropriate affidavit found in the Manage Your ISC Accounts forms area and return them to ISC’s eBusiness Service Centre. 

When do I not have to contact Vital Statistics at ISC?

You do not need to contact us to request a legal name change when you:

• get legally married (if you were born in Canada*)
• get a divorce
• get a legal annulment of marriage, or
• are widowed

* If you were not born in Canada, you will need to apply for a legal name change to change your landed residency card or citizenship card.
