The fees payable for registration purposes must be paid online at the time of the registration application. The amount will be adjusted based on the requested category.
Following the analysis of the registration application, a CITQ agent will contact the operator if necessary to obtain additional information or documents.
Once all the required information and compliant documents have been received and analyzed, the CITQ issues a registration that takes the form of a registration certificate, which must be displayed in view of tourist clientele. The CITQ communicates the registration number to the operator and sends them a registration certificate.
The operator is required to display this registration certificate in view of tourist clientele at the main entrance of the establishment.
The operator is required to display the establishment's registration number in all its advertisements, on all social media and on any website used to promote the accommodation offer, whether or not it is transactional. Any accommodation offer displayed on a transactional digital accommodation platform must also show the expiration date of the registration certificate.
Operators must provide their registration certificate to transactional digital accommodation platforms if they wish to use their services and display their establishment for rentals of less than 31 days.
The registration is valid for a period of 12 months and the operator must then renew it if he wishes to keep the privileges conferred.
Important - The rights conferred by a registration cannot be transferred to another person. If the new establishment operator wishes to continue tourist rentals, a new application for registration must be made.
