Getting started with a dependent status card application

  • Updated

The renewal or replacement card for a child dependent only lasts 5 years before it expires. With OneFeather you can apply for as many dependents that are in your custody as long as they fit our current requirements of what we can support for status card applications.

On this page:

 

Current requirements

  • Child dependents between the ages of 4-15
  • Dependent adults 16+ (A dependent adult is defined as a person 16+ who may have a mental/physical limitation and depends on assistance to carry out regular activities, obtain services, as well as access and protect their rights.)
  • Both guardian and dependent must have their own individual status numbers
  • Dependent has no legal name change since birth
  • Guardian's last name has not changed and matches their photo ID

If your dependent meets the current requirements you can start their status card application. If your dependent does not you can join our waitlist.

Children living at home older than 16

If you have a child 16 years of age or older living at home, they are considered an adult by Indigenous Services Canada and can apply using the Adult SCIS application via their own OneFeather account.
