In Person passport application

[Teebanks]

I have an appointment to apply in person for my passport at Service Canada. Does my guarantor need to sign and date a copy of my ID. I know my guarantor has to sign and date my ID if I’m mailing the application but would like to confirm if that is the case with in person passport application.

1. Yes. If you are submitting a photocopy, your guarantor has to sign.

2. If you are presenting the original at your in-person appointment, your guarantor does not need to sign anything.

3. If you are submitting in person, just present the original. It will be returned you at the appointment.

How far is your appointment date from the time you requested it ?

Nope. For in-person applications they will check your ID and return it to you. See section 5 in the passport application

I completed the online request on a Wednesday night (March 2nd), missed a call from Service Canada on 4th of March so I was called again on the 7th of March and appointment scheduled for 17th of March.

Thanks, i had the same question.

@Teebanks how was your in-person appointment experience? Any advice as i’ll be applying soon for passport and planning of doing it in-person. Thank you.

Hey guys,

Must all the applicants be present to drop off the documents ? Or only one family member can go and apply all all members ?

Hey….my appointment was actually at Service Canada. It took around 35mins for everything to be done. The application was for myself and my wife. Go with the required documents. It shouldn’t take long if you have an appointment.

My wife submitted the documents for both of us (we both went to Service Canada though). We were told one person can submit for both of us so she went in while I waited. However, I cannot say for certain if all centres allow this.

hello ! reviving this thread to get the new timelines for august 2023, from oath date to passport in hand ? please share with me your experience

Walk-in application (Vancouver, Service Canada at Sinclair building downtown)

Applied on (in-person): August 4 (Friday)
Application non-urgent. Just a general, classic application.

I choose mailed to me option (not pick-up - hate going downtown from North Vancouver.) Was told that the passport should be mailed out on August 21 (Monday)

Given that August 7t (Monday) was a holiday - BC Day, it is a very reasonable timeline - 10 business days. Plus, I assume +/- 2 days for mailing/shipping. I plan to get it next week - August 23-24 (Wednesday - Thursday). All in all - with shipping - should be 13-14 business days.
