Indigenous Fee Waivers

Ontario is providing financial relief for Indigenous peoples and communities by permanently waiving fees for death records and delayed registration of death for children who attended Indian Residential Schools. The province is also permanently eliminating fees for reclaiming a traditional Indigenous name.

These changes build on recent initiatives that provide easier access to government services in remote and Indigenous communities, including the North Shore Tribal Council Indigenous-led ServiceOntario centre that also operates a mobile service unit within the Robinson-Huron Treaty area, the Pickle Lake municipal-led ServiceOntario centre, and the virtual service for health card renewal available at Ontario.ca/VirtualAppointment.
