Additional question: Cab I bring my application and my wifes application to the passport office without my wife having to come with me. Work schedules make it easier for me to go and hand the appliactions in.
According to the website,
When applying in person, it’s best that you submit your application yourself. However, if this is not possible, a third party can submit the application if they:
- show identification
- are 16 years of age or older
- are your
- parent
- child
- parent's spouse or common-law partner
- child's spouse or common-law partner
- brother or sister
- half-brother or half-sister
- stepbrother or stepsister
- spouse or common-law partner
- relatives of your spouse or common-law partner, including their:
- parent
- child
- parent's spouse or common-law partner
- child's spouse or common-law partner
- brother or sister
- half-brother or half-sister
- stepbrother or stepsister
In all cases, the passport official must be able to verify the information on the application with the third party. If the third party cannot validate your information, we can refuse your application.
The people in the list above may or may not live at the same address as you. In all cases, the person must show identification. If the identification does not prove that the person lives with you, they must also bring a written statement signed by you, authorizing them to submit your passport application.
Any relative living at your address can also submit an application on your behalf if they:
- are 16 years of age or older
- show identification that confirms where they live
- if their identification doesn’t have an address, they will need to show other documentation to prove they live at the same address as you
We do not accept
urgent or express applications submitted by a third party.
