Form PPTC 056, Additional Information: Address and Occupation, is a supplementary sheet for Canadian passport and travel document applications. You use it when your address history or occupation history does not fit in the space provided on the main application form, so the Passport Program still receives a complete, unbroken history.
PPTC 056 is built with XFA technology, a dynamic PDF format that standard browser viewers cannot display. Download the official file and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer to complete it. Once filled in, print it and include it with your application package.
What is Form PPTC 056 used for
The main passport application forms ask for your recent addresses and occupations, and the boxes only hold a limited number of entries. If you moved often or changed jobs several times in the period the form covers, PPTC 056 gives you structured space to list the rest.
- Extra address entries covering the period the main application asks about
- Extra occupation or employment entries for the same period
- Keeps the history continuous, with no unexplained gaps
How to complete it
Because this is an XFA form, complete it in Adobe Acrobat Reader rather than a browser tab or a lightweight viewer.
- Download the official PDF from the Passport Program forms page
- Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a desktop or laptop
- Enter your name so the sheet can be matched to your application
- List each additional address or occupation with its date range, in order and without gaps
- Print the completed sheet and check it against the main form
How to submit it
Attach the printed PPTC 056 to the passport or travel document application it supports and submit everything together: in person at a Service Canada Centre offering passport services or a passport office, by mail, or through a Government of Canada office abroad, depending on the application you are filing.
There is no separate charge for the supplementary sheet itself; the fees belong to the underlying application, so check the current fee on the official website.
Frequently asked questions
The form uses XFA, a dynamic PDF format that most browsers and simple PDF viewers cannot render, so they show only a placeholder page asking you to wait. Download the file to your computer and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader to see and complete the actual form.
Only when the address or occupation boxes on your main passport application are too small for your full history for the period requested. If everything fits on the main form, you do not need it.
No. Because it is an XFA form, browser-based editors cannot display its fields. Complete it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, then print it. Your main application forms that are standard PDFs can still be typed online.
Follow the instructions printed on the form itself. Complete every field it asks for so the sheet can be matched to your application, and submit it inside the same package.
Use the official supplementary form. It presents the information in the structure the Passport Program expects, which reduces the chance of your application being returned for clarification.
