Beyond regular passport issuance, Canada Passport services include Police Certificates (for employment or visa), urgent travel documents, corrections in particulars, re-issue for lost or damaged passports, and emergency travel certificates. All instructions, documents, and fees are detailed on official sources to ensure accuracy.
Canada Passport “Other Services” help with background verification (Police Certificates), urgent travel for citizens abroad, re-issue for lost/damaged passports, and corrections of personal data. Always verify latest rules at the Official Canada Passport Portal.
A Police Certificate confirms your criminal record status in Canada or abroad and is often required for work permits, study, or immigration processes. Apply via the official portal, follow identity verification steps, and submit required forms.
Citizens who lose passports abroad or require urgent return can apply for emergency travel documents via Canadian Missions. These allow a one-time return to Canada.
For lost or damaged passports, report immediately and apply for re-issue. Fees may vary, and additional verification is conducted.
Update name, address, or other personal details via official portal. Provide legal documents such as birth certificate, marriage certificate, or court order.
Receive updates at each stage using tracking reference numbers. For grievances, contact the call centre listed on the official portal.
