Access Government in French

Under the French Language Services Act, all ministries are required to offer services in French to the public in their offices that are located in the 25 designated areas.

To make it easier for you, most of these government services (birth and death certificates, driver's licences, land registration, etc.) are available through a single-window office. Find the ServiceOntario/Government Information Centre nearest you.

If you do not live in an area that offers services in French, visit a ServiceOntario centre in a nearby area or use the on-line services of ServiceOntario.

For general information on the programs offered by various ministries, please phone the following central offices.
