Canadian Passport req.

[Kittyfang 6]

I have been told that in order to get a passport (Canadian... I will need it for ITIN), I need to show some IDs. The problem is that I cannot use my province health card because it's expired. I do have a birth certificate, but nothing else.

What can be used to get a passport, or can someone rely on a notary or something of the sort?

I used my birth certificate and my driver's licence.

The passport office recommends that you contact the nearest Canadian Consulate and discuss with them your lack of documentation. They may be able to suggest other possible documents or provide an alternative. It may be that you will be allowed to use the expired health card under the circumstances. See what they say.

Kathryn41, someone needs to give you an extra big hug.

The reason why I need the passport is so I can get an ITIN for the taxes. But, since I will send the AoS package without the taxes, and when I get the EAD, I will use that to get a SSN and fix up the taxes. It's less complicated this way.

You should be able to use your EAD for identification purposes for the passport as well, good.

That's right, I hadn't taught about that. I might not need the passport if they aprouve my AoS, but it's still worth a shot. I was just stressed out about not providing my taxes information with the AoS, but I think bringing it to the interview only should be good enough... Hopefully.

Do you have an expired passport? That could possibly be used as well. You're the lady that is on an overstayed visit? For AOS your husband will need to provide tax returns to show financial support of you. You don't need to have filed the taxes, he does. If your AOS is approved, either way, you're going to have to have a passport if you ever intend to return to Canada anyway.

I thought you had to have federal documentation to even file something like AOS?
