What are the requirements for an applicant?

Canadian Passport applications require the applicant to look for a warrantor, also known as a guarantor, who must know the applicant for a minimum of two years. If not applicable, an option is available to fill and sign the “In Lieu of Guarantor form”. The form is obtainable at the passport office only. To commission the form, a Notary is required. We can also notarize the form.

Is it required for the applicant to sign in front of a Notary?

The applicant must sign the passport application in front of the Notary. For proof of identification, you are asked to provide a document that clearly states your full name and has a photograph. This could be a passport, driver license, or similar documents.

• Your guarantor must be a Canadian citizen who meets specific criteria set by the passport issuing authority.
• Typically, a guarantor should know you personally for a certain period and be available to complete and sign the required documents.
• Guarantors often include professionals such as doctors, pharmacists, police officers, and other individuals of good standing.
• Your guarantor will need to complete and sign the “Declaration of Guarantor” section in your passport application form.
