What is clicSÉQUR and who is this service intended for?

clicSÉQUR, the government’s identity authentication service, allows a business or a citizen to authenticate its/his identity by means of a user code and a password in order to securely gain access to certain electronic services of participating departments and organizations, including the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs (MDDEP).

The identity of your business or your identity as a citizen must first be verified by the clicSÉQUR service, at Revenu Québec, which then provides MDDEP with the information on your identity for confirmation purposes. The purpose of these steps is to protect your personal information and your identity.

If you are acting as an individual, you can choose your own user code and password; in the case of a business, a user code and a password will be attributed to you.

Note: The user code, the password and the approach for registering with clicSÉQUR will not be the same according to whether you use an electronic service as a business (self-employed worker, company, partnership or any other legal entity) or as a citizen.

Note: Businesses registered before November 2007 for the online services of Revenu Québec will not be able to register for the online services of MDDEP, since they will not have access to the list of departments and organizations provided by way of the "Registering for the services offered by a department or an organization" service. They must accept the conditions of use of clicSÉQUR by downloading the LEW-4 from the "Administrator of Clic Revenu" menu. It is only once the form has been received and processed by Revenu Québec that the person in charge of electronic services can proceed with the registration of his business with the services of MDDEP.

In order for your business to be able to use the online services of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs (MDDEP), it must:

Register with clicSÉQUR-Businesses;
Activate its user code and password;
Register for the online services of MDDEP.

1. Registering with clicSÉQUR-Businesses

This is the first step that must be taken. Registering with clicSÉQUR-Businesses takes approximately ten minutes; the registration procedure varies slightly according to the legal form of your business and the information that Revenu Québec already has on it.

To proceed with the registration of your business with clicSÉQUR-Businesses or to obtain information concerning the registration procedure, you must access the page of Revenu Québec reserved for this purpose.

2. The activation of the user code and password

Once the registration has been completed, the user code and the password will have to be activated by a Revenu Québec employee. He will confirm the activation to the authorized representative of the business by telephone or by email.

Hence, you have no action to take at this step. However, to accelerate the process, the representative of the business may contact the technical assistance service of Revenu Québec at 1 866 423-3234. A clerk will then proceed with the verification of the representative’s identity using two secrets shared (for example, the last two amounts paid by the business for the payment of the QST, the six-digit access code associated with the tax return of the business, an invitation number provided beforehand by Revenu Québec, etc.), then will active the user code and the password of the representative of the electronic services of the business.

3. Registering of the online services of MDDEP

The user code and the password having been activated, the person in charge of electronic services can then register his business with the online services of MDDEP on the clicSÉQUR site.

Here is the procedure that must be followed:

Go to the website of Revenu Québec;
Click on "Online services, forms and publications";
In the "Clic Revenu" section, click on "Access";
Authenticate your identity with your user code and password;
Access the "Administrator menu";
The option "Registering for a department or agency service" is not available in English;
Switch to the French page and click on "Inscription à des services offerts par un ministère ou un organisme"
Select the department, confirm the choice and accept the conditions of use.

Within a maximum period of 24 hours, the person in charge of electronic services will receive a secure email from clicSÉQUR informing him of his registration for the online services of MDDEP.

Once the registration for online services has been activated, the business will be able to access, by his user code and his password, the online services that use clicSÉQUR and that are intended for businesses on the website of MDDEP.
