Dear CDs,

I need to apply for a new passport soon. This will be my second after becoming a citizen. I guess I will have to apply in New Delhi. My qn is do I need to get the Guarantor's signature again in the application? If that is the case, that would become a problem. Is there any alternate?

You will need to use the application intended for "Canadians living abroad". Per passport Canada website, please see below excerpt for guarantor:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Your guarantor:

• must have known you personally for at least TWO (2) years*;
• must be included in ONE (1) of the following groups:
– dentist, medical doctor – notary public
– judge, magistrate, police officer – practising lawyer, notary
– mayor – signing officer of a bank
The list above is not a recognition or endorsement by Passport Canada of professional status or superior qualifications.
• must live within the jurisdiction of the Canadian government office providing passport services;
• must sign the "Declaration of Guarantor" section on your application form;
• must sign the statement on the back of ONE (1) of your photos; and
• must be accessible to Passport Canada for verification.

If you have not known an eligible guarantor for at least TWO (2) years, complete a "Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor"
form PPTC 132, available from any Canadian government office providing passport services. This form must be completed at
your expense before a person authorized by law to administer an oath or solemn affirmation. This may delay the processing
time of the passport.
