Canadian travel documents

Your first Canadian adult passport

A simple way to organize your application before opening the official forms.

Plan your application

Start with the right location
The official guide has different instructions for people applying in Canada, in the United States and elsewhere. Select the location where you will apply.
Read the document checklist
Review the rules for proof of citizenship, identification and photos. Check the requirements for a guarantor and references before completing the form.
Pick a submission option
Use the official instructions to decide where and how to apply. Check the current fee, service standard and how the passport will be delivered.

If your situation is unusual, start with the official instructions for your circumstances before gathering documents.
