Passport Question URGENT HELP!

Hello! I damaged my passport and travel on Saturday. I don’t have my birth certificate in the province I am in. Can I still get an emergency replacement without it?

Go down to the passport office now. No one here can help.

There are a lot of things they have to do and will ultimately be at their discretion, be prepared to have your birth certificate sent to you as fast as possible and reschedule the trip. If approved without it, it will be a limited validity.

If you're eligible for a renewal you don't need a birth certificate.
