Renew a passport outside Canada and the US

A Canadian passport is a travel document that Canadian citizens can apply for.

If you already have an adult passport, you may be able to renew it. Renewing a passport is simpler than applying for a new one. This is because you don’t need a guarantor, proof of Canadian citizenship or supporting identification.

You can’t renew a child passport. You need to apply for a new one each time it expires.
