REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT FORMS

There are different types of Representation Agreements – depending on the mental capability requirements. More at RA Forms

NIDUS REGISTRY

The online Nidus Registry is the only registry for Representation Agreements. It is also much more. It provides secure storage and access for important information and documents that might be needed in the future in case of a health crisis or other emergency (like flood or wildfire).

The online Nidus Registry was first established in 2002 and updated in 2014. Log into your account with the Nidus ID (7 numbers) and password. Old accounts might have a Nidus ID with 3 or 4 numbers – email registry@nidus.ca to get your new Nidus ID. Each person should have only one Registry Account.

How-to-Instructions
Click above to see list of how-to-instructions for various Registry features. For example, if no existing Registry Account, the first step is to Sign-Up and create a Registry Account and then make a registration.

Confirmation of Substitution Form
If a representative is temporarily or permanently unable to act or continue to act, then the alternate appointed in the Representation Agreement will need to take the place of the representative. Use this form to indicate the alternate’s authority to act. This form is designed to work with Nidus Representation Agreement Forms.

Making Changes to a Representation Agreement
NEVER make changes on your original. Do you need to change an address or phone number? Do you need to change a person? Find out the requirements and what to do.
