Supporting Documentation for Registration

Print Page

Certain documentation must be submitted to the College to support the registration process. This page includes information on the format and type of documentation required.

Format for Submitting Documents

You may submit your documentation using one of the methods below:

Option 1: Have a photocopy of each document notarized by a notary public. Email a scan of the documents to registrantservices@ocpinfo.com.

You can either scan your notarized documents and save screenshots in PDF format or take a picture and save the image as a JPEG file. Please ensure the pictures of your documents are clear and a reasonable size. There is a limit of 35MB per email. The College does not accept zipped files or documents hyperlinked to cloud spaces or sites.

Option 2: Bring original documentation in-person to the OCP offices (Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.). OCP staff will scan and certify your documents.

Option 3: Mail original documents to:
Ontario College of Pharmacists
483 Huron Street
Toronto, ON M5R 2R4

Using a tracking service is highly recommended for mailed items. The College is not responsible for lost mailed items. If you wish to have your original documents returned to you, please indicate this in your mailed package. You will be required to cover the cost of return mailing. Otherwise, you are advised to retain a copy for your personal records prior to mailing your original documents to OCP.

If you have any questions about submitting your documentation, please email registrantservices@ocpinfo.com.

Documents Requiring Translation

Documentation (e.g., pharmacy degree) not written in English or French requires English or French translation. The College accepts documents translated by one of the following:

  • Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO) or equivalent,
  • A Canadian embassy overseas authorized to certify translations, or
  • A foreign embassy office in Canada authorized to certify translations

The translated document(s) must be sent by the translator directly to the College by email or mail using the above format requirements for submitting documents. Alternatively, the applicant may submit a notarized copy of the translated document(s) by email as described above. The applicant must also provide the original copy of the document(s) being translated.
