*We will authenticate your card so as to establish proof of domicile as per the guidelines issued by the Quebec Ministry of Education. If your card does not validate, you will be required to submit proof of domicile. In general, cards with a sequence number of 01 (on the card between your name and date of birth) will likely not fulfill the residency requirement. Expired cards are not acceptable.
