Frequently Asked Questions

Will I encounter problems if I attempt to travel on my current passport, but with my other documentation in my married/common-law name?

All travel arrangements should be made in the name reflected on your passport. Passport Canada recommends that anyone who intends to travel with a passport not issued in the same name as their other documentation consult with the authorities in the destination country, to verify if any additional documentation will be required.
