Yes, it's picture ID, and issued by the government. But, most places do not allow you to use it as ID, or proof of age. Something to do with privacy of health records.
For example, banks will not let you use your health card as proof of identity.
Above is valid for Ontario. Other juridictions may be different.AdultAdBroker - Buy and Sell Your Flat Rate Banners, Links, Tabs, Pops, Email Clicks and Members' Area Traffic - updated May 2026Comment

It is, but (at least in Quebec) it isn't valid enough to open a Paxum account (probably a VISA/MC thing)....
:D

although an Ontario health card contains all the elements of a government issues photo ID, it also contains your health card number which is information that is protected under the Personal Health Information Act. Although the reality is that a Health card is perfectly acceptable Picture ID, it is illegal for a non health related business to ask to see your health card, and thus it is the personal policy of most establishments to refuse to accept a health card as ID. If you provided a health card as photo ID and it was accepted, and you later accused the business of asking to see your health card, the business can receive a fine.
from he ministry website:
"11. USE your Ontario Health Card ONLY for health services. It is illegal for someone to ask for this card for any other purpose."

Province of Ontario ? As others have said, it can be used to idetify you for doctors visits and at the pharmacy, but not to be used for any other purpose. If you are looking for something more solid, drivers license, passport , backed by recent utility bills, that match the address on the drivers license ;)Last edited by JFK; 02-01-2014, 02:08 AM.

I is BUT will not be useable as photo id to get booze, smokes or basically anything else that requires government issue photo id. It can be used as a secondary id to go along with the primary gov. issued photo id (drivers license, Ontario photo card (in ontario anyway), passport).ICQ: 16544251 - Skype: gator37 @ eastlink.ca - email: yngwie @ isys.caComment

Health insurance card here in Manitoba is just a paper card with your name and a bunch of numbers on it, that's it.
I wish we had a nice laminated ID for that, it would certainly last longer.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!
