SCIS Photo App information
Indigenous Services Canada is proud to announce the launch of a new photo app designed to simplify the application process for a Secure Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS). The photo app lets applicants take a photo with a smartphone and submit it online as part of their SCIS application.
Available as a free download from Google Play and App Store, the new app will allow applicants to capture their own, eliminating the cost of a photographer and making the application process more accessible and convenient to First Nations people and communities across the country.
The SCIS Photo App will allow the department to receive photos transmitted straight from smartphones into a secure database exclusively for SCIS applications. The photos can then be easily matched to the completed application form. All information provided through the app is encrypted, and collection and use of personal information is in accordance with the Privacy Act.

Monday to Friday from 9 am to 6 pm Eastern time.

DID YOU KNOW?
The difference with SCIS done at LBN and Vancouver:
- LBN mails applications to Gatineau QC for processing. Applications are mailed out within the week after checked for accuracy. It takes six (6) days to get to Gatineau QC from LBN. Application goes through mail room then to processing which is why it takes 12-16 weeks or more, depending on Gatineau’s backlog.
- Vancouver utilizes the Digital Application System (DAS) which uploads applications directly to Gatineau QC which is why it’s less time for Vancouver applications to be processed.
