{{LSLAP Manual TOC|expanded = citizenship}}
The search of record service verifies the citizenship status of citizens and non-citizens. There are three basic reasons someone would request a “record letter”:
# the applicant does not have proof of citizenship;
# the applicant had proof, but needs a letter that outlines when and how he or she became a citizen;
# a third party asks for citizenship confirmation.
All persons requiring a record letter must make an application for search of citizenship records and pay a $75 fee. All search applications are processed at the centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. After a search, if no record is found, the applicant will be given a “no record” letter, but if a record of citizenship is found, a numbered record letter is issued, which is valid for a specific purpose and stated length of time. Generally, the letter is valid for one month, but it may be valid for a maximum of three months. In situations where a client is not sure if he or she was registered as a Canadian citizen in the past, that person should make applications for proof of citizenship and search of citizenship record at the same time and pay only one fee ($75). If the search of citizenship record is positive, the client will already be in line to receive a certificate of citizenship.
