The Government of Canada has announced that online passport renewal is now available to all eligible adult Canadians, a measure aimed at making access to this essential service simpler and more convenient.
“Canadians expect passport services that fit their lifestyles,” said Lena Metlege Diab, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, in a news release. “Expanding online passport renewal gives eligible Canadians an easier and more convenient way to renew their passports, without unnecessary barriers or delays.”
Applicants can now submit their renewal application, upload their passport photo, and pay the required fees entirely online, eliminating the need to mail documents or visit a Service Canada Centre.
The federal government noted, however, that the eligibility requirements for online passport renewal differ slightly from those for applications submitted in person or by mail. Canadians are therefore encouraged to review the eligibility criteria before beginning their application.
Online passport renewal applications will be processed within 20 business days. (E.F.)
