Adult Passport Renewals

  • In order to apply for a simplified renewal your current passport must have:
    • been issued in the last 15 years;
    • been valid 5 or 10 years;
    • been issued when you were 16 years of age or older on the date you applied;
    • the same name, date of birth and place of birth you want on your new passport (matches the current information on your most recent passport);
    • the same gender identifier you want on your new passport. It can be the gender printed on your current passport or the gender on the observation sticker.

Children's Passports

  • All Canadian children under the age of 16 need their own passport to travel. You can’t renew your Child’s Passport. You must get all the documents ready and apply for a new one.
  • A child passport is valid for a maximum of 5 years. It’s valid until it reaches its expiry date, even after the child turns 16.
