Send form SM-3-V and the required documents to the following address:

Revenu Québec

We will begin our review of the licence application on receipt of form SM-3-V and the required documents.

If your form is incomplete or a required document is missing, we will send you a letter. You must then send us the missing information or documents.

When we have all the required information and documents, we will ask the Sûreté du Québec and the police force in the local municipal territory where the money-services business (MSB) plans to offer money services to prepare one or more security clearance reports. You will be invoiced for each report requested.

Once we have concluded that there is no restriction to issuing a licence and that all fees have been paid, the MSB will receive its licence by mail. If the MSB operates automated teller machines (ATMs), it will receive the decals it has to place on the ATMs. Refer to instruction sheet SM-22.1.G-V, Decal Instructions: Automated Teller Machines, to ensure you affix the decals properly. Only original decals are authorized on an ATM.  

If, in reviewing the licence application, we conclude that there are grounds for not issuing a licence, we will contact you. We will let you know how long you have to provide a written explanation or a document needed to complete the MSB's file.
