   Simplified Renewal Application Process
   
   The Simplified Renewal Application Process allows Canadians to renew their passports without resubmitting proof of Canadian citizenship or supplementary identification and guarantor information. Some conditions apply.
   
   Canadians who meet the following eligibility criteria are now able to benefit from this process:
   
       * At the time they applied for their previous passport, they must have been at least 16 years of age.
       * Their most recent passport:
             o Must have been valid for five years;
             o Must have been issued in Canada (as indicated under "Issuing Authority" on page 2 of the submitted passport);
             o Must have been issued within the last six years;
             o Must not be damaged and must never have been reported as lost or stolen; and
             o Must have been issued under their current name.
   
   In order for us to process a passport application through the Simplified Renewal Application Process, the applicant must provide a completed form, including the current fee, two new photos, and their most recent passport.
   
   Please note that the new photos do not need to be signed by a guarantor or by anyone else. However, the name and address of the photographer or studio, as well as the date the photos were taken, must be provided on the back of one photo.
   How to apply
   
   The Simplified Renewal Application Process can only be used when applying for a passport:
   
       * In person in Canada
       * By mail in Canada
       * By mail from the United States
