Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor – Passport Applications
A Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor is a vital document for individuals
who are unable to provide an eligible guarantor for their Canadian passport application.
This declaration allows the passport office to verify your identity through personal
references instead of a guarantor.
This document is commonly required when submitting the PPT 132 – Statutory Declaration
in Lieu of Guarantor form to Passport Canada.
