Form PPTC 057, Additional Information: Documents to Support Identity and References, is a supplementary sheet for Canadian passport and travel document applications. It gives you structured space to list identity documents and references beyond what fits on the main application form.
You can complete Form PPTC 057 in the Universal PDF editor and download a typed copy to print. Supplementary sheets are matched to your main application by name, so typing keeps everything legible and consistent across the package.
What is Form PPTC 057 used for
The Passport Program verifies who you are using identity documents and people who can vouch for you. When the main form's boxes are not enough for your situation, PPTC 057 carries the overflow.
- Additional identity documents supporting your application
- Additional references beyond the spaces on the main form
- Keeps supporting details organized in the format the program expects
How to fill out Form PPTC 057
Complete only the parts that apply to your situation.
- Your name, so the sheet can be matched to your application
- Each additional identity document with its identifying details
- Each additional reference with full name, contact information, and how long they have known you
- References should meet the same criteria as on the main form, including not being family members
How to submit it
Print the completed sheet and include it in the same package as your passport or travel document application, whether you apply in person at a Service Canada Centre offering passport services or a passport office, by mail, or through a Government of Canada office abroad.
The sheet has no fee of its own. Fees apply to the underlying application, so check the current fee on the official website.
