Urgent and express applications

To obtain urgent or express pick-up service, you must apply in person at a Passport Canada office* and you may be required to provide proof of travel. Passport Canada will take appropriate action on a case-by-case basis.

Some examples of proof of travel are:

• An airline, bus or train ticket;
• A travel itinerary showing proof of payment;

In addition to the regular passport fee, the following fees will apply.
