Form PPTC 203 is the declaration used to tell the Passport Program what happened to a Canadian passport or travel document that was lost, stolen, damaged, inaccessible, or found. It gives the program the details it needs to cancel the affected document and protect it against misuse, and it normally accompanies your application for a replacement.
You can fill out Form PPTC 203 in the Universal PDF editor and print a typed copy to sign. The declaration asks you to describe the circumstances in your own words, and typing the account is far easier to read than a handwritten narrative squeezed into the box.
What is Form PPTC 203 used for
The declaration documents the status of a travel document that is no longer safely in your possession or that has resurfaced.
- Lost passport or travel document
- Stolen passport or travel document
- Damaged or mutilated document
- Document that is inaccessible, for example retained by another party
- Previously reported document that has been found
How to fill out Form PPTC 203
Describe what happened accurately and completely. A reported lost or stolen passport is cancelled and can never be used again, even if you find it later.

- Details of the affected document, such as the number and issue date if known
- What happened, where, and when, including a police report reference for theft where you have one
- Signature on the printed declaration
How to submit it
If you need a replacement, submit the signed declaration together with your new passport or travel document application, following the submission instructions for that application: in person at a Service Canada Centre offering passport services or a passport office, by mail, or through a Government of Canada office abroad.
If you are only reporting and not replacing, follow the reporting instructions on the official website. Replacement applications carry the regular fees plus any applicable replacement charge, so check the current fee on the official website.
