Where to mail a request for a Premier of Ontario certificate

Mail your request to Premier of Ontario, Legislative Building, Queen's Park, Toronto ON M7A 1A1. The Premier's office issues a free congratulatory certificate to Ontarians turning 80 or older, and to couples marking a 40th wedding anniversary or later — a lower bar than the federal Governor General (90th/50th) or King's (100th/60th) programs, which are requested separately through Rideau Hall.

Key facts

  • Lower thresholds than the federal programs: the Premier's certificate starts at an 80th birthday or a 40th wedding anniversary — versus 90/50 for the Governor General or 100/60 for a message from The King.
  • Submit within 6 months before or after the milestone date; processing takes at least 3 weeks from submission to mailing.
  • Certificates are free — there is no fee to request one.
  • The office's own preferred channel is the online portal at certificates.premier.gov.on.ca, but the Premier's office also publishes this mailing address for written correspondence.
  • PostPal prints your written request and deposits it with Canada Post the next business day for $6 — handy if you'd rather send a letter than use the online portal.

How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Check the milestone qualifies

    The Premier's certificate covers 80th birthdays and later, and 40th wedding anniversaries and later. For a 90th birthday or 50th anniversary and up, you can also request a Governor General greeting — see PostPal's Governor General / King greetings page for that address.

  2. 2

    Write your request with the required details

    Include the celebrant's full name and mailing address, the exact date of the birthday or anniversary, their age or years married, and your own contact details as the requester.

  3. 3

    Mail it within the 6-month window

    Address the envelope to Premier of Ontario, Legislative Building, Queen's Park, Toronto ON M7A 1A1. Requests must be submitted no more than 6 months before or after the milestone date.

  4. 4

    Or send it through PostPal

    Upload your request and PostPal prints it, seals it, and hands it to Canada Post the next business day for $6 flat, with a dated confirmation emailed to you.
