Form PPTC 054, the Adult Passport Renewal Application, is the simplified form for Canadian citizens aged 16 or older who already hold an adult Canadian passport and are applying from Canada or the United States. Because the Passport Program already verified your identity when it issued the previous passport, the renewal form is shorter than the general application.
Fill out Form PPTC 054 in the Universal PDF editor, download the typed PDF, and print it for signature. A typed renewal is quick to complete and easy for the Passport Program to read, which helps avoid processing delays caused by unclear handwriting.
What is Form PPTC 054 used for
The renewal application issues a brand-new passport with a new number and validity period based on your existing file. It skips several requirements of the general application.
- No guarantor is required for a renewal
- No documentary evidence of citizenship is required
- Two references are still required
- You choose a new 5-year or 10-year passport
Who can renew with PPTC 054
Eligibility depends on your most recent Canadian passport. In general, it must have been issued when you were 16 or older, and it must meet the Passport Program's current renewal conditions. The eligibility rules have changed over time, so confirm on the official website that your passport still qualifies before choosing this form. If it does not qualify, use the general application, Form PPTC 153.
How to fill out Form PPTC 054
The renewal form focuses on your current information and the passport being replaced.
- Legal name, date and place of birth, and contact information
- Details of the passport you are renewing, including its number and issue date
- Two references who have known you for at least two years and are not family members
- Declaration and signature, signed by hand after printing
How to submit it
Submit the printed, signed form with two identical passport photos taken within the past six months, your most recent passport if the instructions require it, and payment. In Canada, apply in person at a Service Canada Centre offering passport services or at a passport office, or send everything by mail to the address in the instructions. Applicants in the United States apply by mail following the US instructions.
Fees depend on the validity period and any express services, so check the current fee on the official website.
Frequently asked questions

Follow the checklist in the form instructions. Renewals are generally submitted with your most recent passport, which the Passport Program cancels and normally returns to you.
Possibly. Renewal eligibility depends on when and how your previous passport was issued, and the rules have been updated in recent years. Check the current conditions on the official website; if you do not qualify, use Form PPTC 153.
Use Form PPTC 482, the renewal application for Canadians abroad, and submit it to the nearest Government of Canada office that provides passport services.
No. Renewal issues a completely new passport with a new number and a new validity period. Visas in the old passport are not transferred.
