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.

Where a notary or consular step may fit
- The embassy distinguishes valid-passport renewal from lost/damaged and new-passport applications.
- For expiry, the published list specifically identifies a notarized birth-certificate copy.
This reviewed packet applies to the route named in the table. Different ages, lost passports and changes of personal details can require another procedure.
Prepare the application records
- Use the official application and appointment process linked below.
- Check the document table for the named application route and keep originals available where requested.
- Check current fees, delivery and any special-case instructions with the issuing service.
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.
