Apply for a Civic Address
If you require a civic address but not a building permit, you can fill out the on-line form below to obtain your civic address.
The 911 Administration Office also maintains the provincial civic addressing database which is very important for the operation of the 911 service.
Do I need a civic address?
Yes. Not only is it required by law, but it is extremely important to display your civic number so that emergency responders can easily see it, day or night.
How do I obtain a civic address for a new construction?
If you don’t have a building permit, you must first apply for a building permit through the Department Housing, Land and Communities or your local municipality whichever applies. You can get an application at any Access PEI site or your local municipal office.
Where do I get a new or replacement civic address sign?
Your sign must adhere to the provincial civic address sign specifications. Most sign shops in PEI are able to make the number signs according to the specifications, so you may go to the sign shop of your choice. Learn more about civic address signs and how your sign must be installed on your property.
