Here is what to do:
1. Complete and sign the form.
2. Complete and sign section G if you want to
be an organ and tissue donor and are 16 years or older. You do not have
to be an organ and tissue donor to be eligible for OHIP coverage.
3. The Ministry of Health requires proof of
citizenship, residence and identity. These documents must be presented
when you register. Read the insert to find out the original documents
you need.
4. Bring the original documents along with the
completed form to any OHIP office listed below.
5. If you are 151/2years of age or older, your
photograph will be taken when you bring your form and documents to an
OHIP office. This photograph will appear on your Health Card, therefore
you must register in person for your photograph to be taken.
6. Fill out a separate form for each family
member. Health Cards for children under 151/2years of age will not have
a photograph. A parent or legal guardian should bring the child's
original documents and this form to any OHIP office. If you are
separated or divorced, the parent with legal custody must register the
child and sign the form.
7. Your Health Card will be mailed to you. It
has an expiry date on it. You will need to renew your card before the
expiry date.
8. If any of the information you have given on
this form changes after you receive your Health Card, you must complete
a Change of Information form. You can get this form at any CHIP office.
9. You must notify the Ministry of Health if
you change your address. It is your responsibility to forward this
information to ensure your health record is kept up to date.
10. The ministry provides services in two
official languages. In section A choose if you want to receive
information in English or French.

You must have three different original
documents to register for health coverage:
One document must show your proof of
Canadian citizenship or immigration status.
A different document must show your name
and home address to prove your residency in Ontario.
Another document must show your name and
signature to prove your identity, to show you are the person you say
you are.
You may be asked for additional documents.
Always tell the Ministry of Health when you
change your address. We must have your current address so your health
record is kept up to date.
A parent or legal guardian can register
children younger than 151/2years of age. Children do not have to be
present to be registered as there is no photograph on their Health Card.
If you want to be an organ and tissue donor and
are 16 years or older, you can consent to organ and tissue donation on
this form.
