Changing the name on your LMCC documents

Replacement LMCC documents due to name changes are issued as "Duplicates of Original as Amended."

Replacement documents for reasons other than a name change are issued as "Duplicates."

Requirements for changing the name on your LMCC documents

  1. A written request providing:
    • your full name (including any middle or former name, and current name)
    • current contact information (address, phone number, e-mail)
    • date of birth
    • LMCC number (or MCC Candidate Code if available)
    • signatures (former and new names)
    • a statement confirming that you make this request for the purpose of having the MCC recognize your legal name and for no other or improper purpose
    • a statement indicating that you acknowledge and agree that the Canadian medical regulatory authorities will be notified in writing regarding your new name
       
  2. A legal, notarized order or other name change document (certified as a true copy of the original) confirming the former and new names.
     
  3. Return of the original LMCC documents (Testamur and Certificate of Registration) to the MCC.
     
    NOTE:  If you do not have your original LMCC documents, you must provide a statutory declaration (i.e., affidavit) certified by a lawyer or a notary public stating the reason why (e.g., documents lost, stolen, destroyed, etc.).  The declaration must also state that if the original Certificate of Registration and/or Testamur is/are subsequently located, the original(s) will be returned to the MCC office.
     
  4. The appropriate service fees paid by Visa or Master Card and a completed Service Request form to replace both documents.
