Start with your situation and mission
Use the current instructions for the mission serving your residential address. The references below are for the named offices and routes; do not assume their checklist applies to every address in Canada. Confirm jurisdiction, citizenship eligibility, passport type and the current application route before preparing documents.
Documents you need — by application route
Use the packet for your situation. Supplementary lists add to the applicable core records. “Not specified” does not mean a requirement can never be added by the mission.

New / replacement biometric passport

|---|---|---|---|
| Serially coded PPT application | Original supplied through the embassy; not a printed sample | Signature and right thumbprint witnessed by the embassy, or approved notary/honorary-consul route | This application route |

| Lebanese identity / civil record | Individual extract issued within five years OR computerized Lebanese ID; check the passport-copy alternative with the embassy | Confirm original/certified-copy format | This application route |

The embassy page lists two photos in “Individual Passport” and three in another packet. Ask the passport section which quantity applies.
Ask whether the separately listed fingerprinted identification card is required for your packet. Do not combine different application lists without confirmation.
Obtain the original coded form before the appointment. Follow its blue-pen, no-folding and no-staples instructions.
Lost passport replacement

|---|---|---|---|
| Police report | Original | Not specified for this item | This application route |

Replacement requires authorization from Lebanese General Security. The embassy’s old downloadable form link returned an error when checked; obtain the current original directly from the passport section.
Additional documents for a child under 18
| Document | Format / quantity | Notary / attestation | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both parents’ passport-issuance consent | Consent letter in the embassy’s required form | By mail: signed before a notary. In person: before the consular officer | Applicants under 18 |
| Custody / parental-authority evidence | Ask which records apply | Confirm any separate certification instruction | Custody, deceased-parent or unavailable-parent cases |
Confirm special family circumstances with the embassy. A consent to travel is not automatically the same as consent to issue a passport.

Notaryspace is at 6700 Century Avenue, 3rd Floor, Suite 318, Mississauga. Send the mission’s request so we can confirm the required service and total fee. Passport processing remains with the issuing authority.
Where a notary or consular step may fit
- For the new-passport process, the embassy describes an original serially coded PPT form. A sample or photocopy cannot replace it.
- The embassy describes signing and a thumbprint before a consular officer, honorary consul or an Arabic-speaking notary in its specified process. Confirm the correct route and form supply first.
- For minors, the published instructions distinguish parental consent at the embassy from consent before a notary for the mail route.
- Biometric replacement and regular-passport renewal are distinct routes. Ask the embassy which applies to your passport.
The serially coded PPT form is not an online template. Ask the embassy to supply it and confirm whether Notaryspace can assist with the specific procedure before booking.
Prepare the application records
- Ask the embassy which passport procedure and original form apply.
- Gather the current passport and the Lebanese identity or civil-registration evidence requested.
- Check photographs, Canadian-status evidence, payment and return-delivery instructions directly with the embassy.
Routine renewal and special cases are different
Explain whether the passport is expiring, lost or damaged, or whether a name or other detail is changing. For a child, ask about age-specific forms, parental authority, consent, custody records and attendance. Check current photographs, official fees, payment methods and delivery instructions directly with the mission. No processing-time guarantee is given by this guide.
Arrange only the document service you need
If a written instruction calls for a notarial act, provide the exact document and wording to our office before booking. Leave applicable witnessed signatures and official certification blank until instructed. Do not replace a mission’s prescribed form with an IRCC form or a generic letter. A local appointment does not issue the passport or replace a consular appointment.

Official sources and forms
These links are the source of the guidance, not a substitute for confirming the current instructions for your application. Official forms remain on the authority’s website.
Keep a preparation checklist
Our renewal checklist tool helps you organize questions and next steps. You can check off tasks, download a copy or print it. It requests no passport number or identity upload and does not submit an application. Keep your completed official documents separately and follow the authority’s submission instructions.
