Frequently asked questions

Answer

To obtain urgent or express service, you must apply in person at a Passport Canada office*. For urgent service, proof of travel is required; it may also be requested for express service. Some examples of proof of travel are:

• An airline, bus or train ticket;
• A travel itinerary showing proof of payment;
• A written statement, if traveling by car (the validation of the statement is at the Passport Officer's discretion).

* Some restrictions apply.
