Audit of the management and delivery of the Social Insurance Number Program .: Em20-38/2016E-PDF

The Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a unique file identifier used for a variety of Government of Canada benefits and services. The SIN is the responsibility of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) as legislated by the Department of Employment and Social Development Act and the Employment Insurance Act. Applications for a SIN can be completed in person at Service Canada Centres (SCCs) or Outreach sites, through provincial birth registration, or by mail, depending on the applicant’s eligibility. All SIN application information is retained in the Social Insurance Register (SIR) which is used by other authorized programs and departments to validate identity. The objective of this audit was to assess the adequacy of the SIN application process and the integrity of the SIR.
