Register for Québec health insurance with RAMQ
How do I register for Québec health insurance with RAMQ?
RAMQ’s registration guide starts with your situation: settling in Québec, coming for work or study, or returning after earlier coverage. Its guided questions identify the application route. Each family member needs the appropriate form and documents; prescription-drug insurance is a separate registration question.
Where to begin
- Read RAMQ’s eligibility and registration guidance for your situation.
- Use the Start my application route to obtain the correct procedure.
- Complete the applicable forms and provide each family member’s required documents to RAMQ.

What to check for your situation
Some cases require a call rather than online registration. RAMQ decides coverage and waiting periods; this guide does not assess immigration status or prescription-drug insurance eligibility.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
