Registers of protective supervision
The Curateur public has to maintain three registers:
-
Register of minors under tutorship;
-
Register of persons of full age under tutorship or curatorship;
-
Register of persons under homologated protective mandate.
What are the registers for?
If you are wondering whether a person has been placed under a legal protection measure, you can find out by consulting the registers. Access them from our website or call one of the Curateur public's offices or the general information department.
To consult the registers, you need to know the name and date of birth of the person under protection.
In their electronic format, the registers do not contain confidential information, only the information stipulated in the Regulation respecting the application of the Public Curator Act (Division III, section 7 
). The law regards the placing of an incapacitated person under protective supervision as public information. This applies to protection of the person and those dealing with them or providing them with services.
The registers are particularly useful for:
- medical staff dealing with confused or incapacitated patients whose medical history or legal background is unknown;
- notaries drawing up a will or mandate.
Information in the registers
The registers contain:
- the name of the protected person;
- their Curateur public file number;
- the name(s) of their legal representative(s);
- the date on which the legal protection measure came into force and the judgment number;
- the nature and scope of the measure;
- any amendments to it.
Maintaining the registers
Information in the registers is updated regularly until the protected person's death.
Minor children
When a minor reaches the age of majority (18), their name is removed from the register.
