When an involuntary patient's 30-day detention or an earlier renewal is about to end, the attending physician uses this one-page Mental Health Care and Treatment Act form to renew involuntary status in Newfoundland and Labrador. The physician ticks which renewal it is, from first to sixth or other, certifies the patient still meets the subsection 17(1) criteria, and sets out the facts and reasons.
The attending physician completes and signs the certificate, with the date and time, after conducting the psychiatric assessment required by subsection 30(1) of the Act. No one else completes a part.

Certificate of Renewal (MHCTA-02)
Upload the fillable PDF once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Section 31 of the Act allows detention for not more than 30 days under the first certificate of renewal, 60 additional days under a second, and 90 additional days under a third or subsequent certificate. There is no limit on the number of certificates of renewal.
Under subsection 33(1), the administrator must apply to the Mental Health Care and Treatment Review Board on the filing of a second certificate of renewal and each second certificate after that. The patient or their representative may also apply at other times using form MHCTA-13.
