If you’re worried about someone else applying for a passport for your child without your consent, you can add your child’s name to a special list known as the passport system lookout.
Once on the list, your child’s name will remain there until either:
They turn 16, at which time they can apply for an adult passport on their own, or
You send IRCC a written request to have their name removed from the list
If IRCC receive a passport application for your child, they will take extra precautions before we process it and confirm that it was authorized by you, the parent or legal guardian.
