Request For A Canadian Passport Without Place of Birth

You have the option to request that your place of birth not appear on your Canadian passport. However, doing so may lead to certain complications when traveling. Some countries require this information for visa processing, and its absence could result in difficulties obtaining a visa, delays at border crossings, or even denial of entry. To avoid such issues, it is essential to check the specific entry requirements of the country you plan to visit. You can contact the consulate or embassy of your destination to confirm whether your place of birth is necessary for entry. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to ensure your travel documents meet the necessary requirements.

If you still wish to have your place of birth omitted from your passport despite these potential risks, you must submit a new passport application. Along with the application, you need to include the Request for a Canadian passport without place of birth (PPTC 077) form. This form is required to process your request and ensure your passport is issued accordingly. Before proceeding, carefully consider the possible travel difficulties that may arise and plan accordingly to avoid disruptions to your journey.
