Our service fee, by support level
Canadian government passport fees and optional return shipping are listed separately below.

Renewal rules are specific
We review the issue date and passport details before you prepare a renewal so you do not use the simplified process when a new passport application is required.
A renewal is the simpler route
A renewal needs no guarantor, no proof of Canadian citizenship and no supporting identification. It does need 2 references, and Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services checks that yours qualify.
U.S. applications are submitted to Canada
Canadian passport renewals from the United States are mailed to the Passport Program in Canada. We can help prepare the package and review the mailing instructions before it is sent.
Eligibility
You can renew only if all five are true.
The simplified adult renewal process has specific eligibility rules. We review the current passport and the details you want on the new one before you submit the application.
- An adult passport issued when you were at least 16 years old.
- Issued within 15 years of the date you apply for the renewal.
- Valid for 5 or 10 years.
- The same name, date of birth and place of birth you want on the new passport.
- The same gender identifier you want on the new passport, printed in the book or carried on an “X” observation sticker.
- A child passport can never be renewed. A new child passport is applied for each time it expires, until the child turns 16.
If your passport details or personal information no longer fit the renewal criteria, you may need a new passport application instead. Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services can review the current passport and direct you to the appropriate Government of Canada form.

How to apply
What Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services needs from you.
For an eligible adult renewal from the United States, the core application uses form PPTC 054 together with two compliant photos, two references, your current or most recent passport information, and the required fee payment.
Complete form PPTC 054
- Fill it out on a computer in Adobe Reader 10 or higher. A phone, a tablet or a web browser will not fill the form properly.
- Section 4, period of validity. State whether you want a 5-year or a 10-year passport.
- Include your email address so the application status can be checked online after filing.
- A valid visa in the old book? Say so on the form if you need the visa and want the original passport returned, otherwise it can be damaged when the old book is cancelled.
Photographs
- Canadian specifications apply, and they are not the same as the U.S. requirements. An unacceptable photo means the application is rejected and returned.
- On the back of one photo the photographer writes or stamps their studio or company name, their complete address, and the date the photos were taken.
- No guarantor signature is needed on the photo. Renewals do not need a guarantor.
Lost, stolen or damaged
- Still valid and lost or stolen. Report it to the Passport Program as soon as possible, submit form PPTC 203, and pay the extra $45 fee for replacing it.
- Still valid and damaged. Form PPTC 203 is submitted with the application.
- Already expired. Only the main application form is needed.
Your 2 references
- Each must be 18 or older and must have known you for at least 2 years.
- Each must agree to you using their name and contact information on the application.
- They must be reachable. A reference travelling abroad, or in a distant time zone, can delay the file. IRCC may ask for additional references at any time.
Who cannot be a reference
- Immediate and extended family are excluded — a spouse or common-law partner, a parent or step-parent, a child, a sibling, a grandparent, a grandchild, and the in-law equivalents of each.
- Anyone related to you by blood, marriage, common-law partnership, adoption or guardianship who lives at your address, including an aunt, uncle or cousin.
- A former spouse or partner can serve, and so can a boyfriend or girlfriend, provided you are not in a common-law relationship.
Where the package goes
Applications from the United States are mailed to Canada. A certified courier or traceable mail service cuts delivery time and protects the documents.
Address the package to the Government of Canada Passport Program using the current mailing or courier address shown in the official instructions. We can help review the package before mailing.
If you apply to renew more than a year before expiry, include the reason requested by the application instructions. We can help review that explanation and the rest of the package before submission.
