All eligible Canadian adults can now apply online to renew their passports, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Lena Diab announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Previously, Canadians could only renew online if their passport expires in the next six months or had already expired.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanadians expect passport services that work for their lives. Expanding online renewal gives eligible Canadians a simpler, more convenient way to renew their passports, without unnecessary barriers or delays,\u201d said Diab in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is part of the Government of Canada\u2019s ongoing work to modernize passport services and deliver public services that are responsive to the needs of Canadians today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canadians can complete their passport renewal application online by submitting their application, photo and payment digitally instead of mailing documents or visiting a Service Canada Centre.<\/p>\n

All passport applications require commercially taken photos.<\/p>\n

Online renewals follow the same 20-business-day service standard as simplified adult renewals submitted in most Service Canada Centres and by mail. They include real-time status updates so applicants can track their application as it\u2019s being processed.<\/p>\n

Canadians who need a passport sooner must apply in person at a Service Canada Centre or a passport office that offers the 10-business-day, express or urgent service.<\/p>\n
