Introduction to the passport on-line form

The passport on-line form is an interactive application that will guide you through all sections of the form. The advantage of this new initiative is to minimize errors and eliminate omissions. You will need to print your application form, sign it and have your guarantor sign your completed application form and one of your photos. You will have to either present your application with supporting documents to one of our points of service or mail it in.

The passport on-line form is not yet available to all Canadians.
