Passport Guarantor for childs first passport

[jeff198901]

Hello,

Are parents allowed to be guarantors for their own children’s first passport?

Do we need 2 guarantors or is only 1 guarantor needed?

Can my American wife, who is a Canadian PR be a guarantor?

Thank you very much!

NO - guarantors have to have Canadian passports

Your wife can apply on your child's behalf and you can be the guarantor if you have a valid Canadian passport.

For some reason I was under the impression there had to be 2 guarantors. Not sure why I thought I remember this from when I applied for my own passport years back. I am a Canadian passport holder so I will be the guarantor!

thank you for the response

You might be confusing it with the 2 references (in addition to the 1 guarantor) that's also in the link I provided. The references cannot be family members.

So we need 2 references in addition to a guarantor? I don’t see on the form where it mentions references. Is there a specific form for references?

Is this the correct form to use for references?

On the adult passport application it has a dedicated section for references. On the application for people under 16 it doesn’t. I just need to know which form to use for references.
Am I missing something here? Are references not needed for passport applications for people under 16?
