Passport on-line

The passport on-line form is an interactive application that will guide you through all sections of the form. This new initiative helps 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 service locations or mail it in with the supporting documents.

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

If you can answer yes to all 3 questions below, you can use the passport on-line form to complete your passport application.

• Are you a Canadian citizen?
  If not, consult our Non-Canadian in Canada section.
• Are you living in Canada?
  If not, consult our Canadian in the United States (or Bermuda) section or our Canadian abroad section.
• Are you at least 16 years old?
  If not, consult our Passports for children section.

How does the passport on-line form work

There are 4 sections to the passport on-line form. Each section is sub-divided and contains a number of steps to help you complete your passport application form. The sections are:

1. Completing the passport on-line form: Eight steps in this section assist you in completing the Adult passport application form for Canadians living in Canada.
2. Application requirements: A checklist of things to do once you have printed the application form.
3. Submitting the application: A list of ways to present your passport application.
4. Logoff: Reminders of things you can do to ensure your information is protected.

Using epass Canada

With epass login, you do not have to complete the entire form in one visit. When you save your application, you have 60 days to come back to complete it.

To register for an epass, you will need to create a username and password, and select three questions and answer them. Registration for an epass may take up to ten minutes. To access passport on-line form anytime in the future, you will use the same username and password every time you logon.

If you already have an epass, you do not need to register again.
