both the record and the issuing authority. Federal passport, SIN, tax and RCMP services differ from the provincial process for an Ontario birth certificate. Keep official originals separate from personal reference scans. For travel and identity-related records, check [Canadian passport renewal](https://dokus.app/en-ca/canadian-passport-renewal-documents/), [SIN confirmation](https://dokus.app/en-ca/sin-confirmation-letter-canada/) and [Ontario birth certificate formats and ordering](https://dokus.app/en-ca/ontario-birth-certificate-order-replace/). Confirm the required evidence before submitting a stored copy. For an income or background request, obtain [a CRA proof of income statement](https://dokus.app/en-ca/cra-proof-of-income-statement/) or follow [the RCMP certified criminal record fingerprint route](https://dokus.app/en-ca/rcmp-certified-criminal-record-check-fingerprints/). Ask the recipient for the exact record and purpose. ## [CRA proof of income statement: get the right tax-year record](https://dokus.app/en-ca/cra-proof-of-income-statement/) Obtain a CRA proof of income statement through My Account or the mail service and check the required tax year before sharing the statement. Reviewed on October 25, 2026 ## [Ontario birth certificate: choose the format and order it](https://dokus.app/en-ca/ontario-birth-certificate-order-replace/) Choose an Ontario birth certificate, a certificate with parental information or a certified copy of birth registration before ordering through ServiceOntario. Reviewed on October 25, 2026 ## [Canadian passport renewal: check eligibility and prepare your documents](https://dokus.app/en-ca/canadian-passport-renewal-documents/) Check the adult Canadian passport renewal criteria and choose the correct online, in-person or mail application before preparing photos and supporting records. Reviewed on October 25, 2026 ## [RCMP certified criminal record check: choose the fingerprint route](https://dokus.app/en-ca/rcmp-certified-criminal-record-check-fingerprints/) Find the RCMP fingerprint-based certified criminal record check route inside or outside Canada and distinguish it from a vulnerable sector check. Reviewed on October 25, 2026 ## [SIN confirmation letter: find or request your Canadian record](https://dokus.app/en-ca/sin-confirmation-letter-canada/) View your SIN through My Service Canada Account or request confirmation through the appropriate Service Canada route, then limit who receives it.
