Simplified Passport Renewal Process

The Simplified Passport Renewal Process offers an opportunity for Canadian citizens to replace their passports without having to resubmit documents to support their application and guarantor information.

To be eligible to participate in this project, an applicant must

live in Canada,
have been at least 16 years of age at the time of their previous application,
have a 5-year-validity passport issued after January 31, 2002 in Canada, that has not been altered or damaged, or reported as lost or stolen,
have lived in Canada when their last passport was issued, and
apply using the same name that appears on the previous (expiring/expired) passport.

In order for us to process a renewal application through the Simplified Passport Renewal Process, the applicant must provide a completed form, including the current fee, two new photos, and their previous passport.
