Adult Simplified Renewal Passport Form PDF Details

For Canadians aged 16 and older living in Canada or the USA, the Adult Simplified Renewal Passport Application (PPTC 054A) is the fastest path to renewing a Canadian passport. To be eligible, your most recent Canadian passport must have been issued within the last six years, be undamaged, have never been reported lost or stolen, and must have been issued in your current name. If your name has changed since your last passport was issued, you must complete a standard renewal instead.

Required materials include a fully completed and signed application form, two identical passport photos taken within the past year with a white background, measuring 50 x 70 mm, and the applicable renewal fee. Applicants in Canada may submit the application in person at a designated passport office or by mail to the nearest Passport Canada processing centre. Applicants residing in the USA must submit their application by mail, with processing completed in Canada. Urgent travel requests may be accommodated with an in-person submission at a passport office in Canada.

Applicants who do not qualify for simplified renewal, such as those whose passport is more than six years old or has been damaged, should use the standard Canada Passport Renewal form instead. Families renewing travel documents for children under 16 should complete the Canada Child Passport Form.
