Passport renewal
With travel advisories lifting after two-years of the pandemic there has been a surge in passport applications. To make things easier on renewals, the Federal Government has expanded the simplified renewal form to include passports that expired in the last 15 years. In this process, applicants don’t need a guarantor or to provide original documents — you simply need 2 photos, 2 references, a completed form and the applicable fees.
For those who require their passport within two business days, Passport Canada offers urgent and express passport services at certain locations in Canada. For urgent or express service, there will be an additional service fee along with the regular passport fee.
If you have made a recent application and are outside the expected processing time (25 days), please contact our office at [email protected] and we can assist you.
Please ensure you are giving yourself plenty of time to renew your passport before your expected travel. We encourage Canadians to make sure they have their passport before making travel commitments and to apply 3-4 months in advance of their travels to ensure they receive their passport on time.
