Obtain a secure access code

The secure access code is a unique, 16-digit number associated with the census questionnaire for your household or agricultural operation. You will need this code to complete the questionnaire online.

All households and agricultural operations will receive a letter with instructions for completing their 2024 Census test questionnaire.

If you received a letter, your secure access code is located at the top of the page.
