New requirement, DS-160

[unstrung 0]

With the Interview letter i received, they make a mention that i must now fill out the DS-160 form online. One of the questions on this form asks me for my passport book number, if applicable. Passport canada's office is closed today i wanted to inquire about that. Anybody know if the canadian passport has such a thing? If so, where is it located? I've googled it and found no info whatsoever which leads me to believe that it doesn't apply, but ya i'd like to know

I think they are asking for your passport number.

I think they are asking for your passport number.

Incorrect, they ask for passport number AND passport book number, but they make the mention of IF APPLICABLE next to the passport book number

Edit : actually, there's a checkmark box next to the passport book number called Does not apply. DS-160 has a lot of these instead of manually writing N/A they simply give you a box to checkmark if it does not apply. I like DS-160

There's also an explanation on the DS-160 form, here is a copy pasta :

The Passport Book Number is commonly called the inventory control number. You may or may not have a Passport Book Number on your passport. The location of the Passport Book Number on your passport may vary depending on the country that issued your passport. Please contact your passport issuing authority if you are unable to determine whether or not your passport contains a Passport Book Number.

While you might be able to get away with marking "does not apply," Canada does have a passport book number. I'm the USC, but my fiance called the passport office about this last week and got her passport book number. Probably a situation where it's better to play it safe, I would think.

Ok, so I should call the passport office monday and get the book number then? I would hate to get held up because of a number

I talked to my fiance about it and she says the passport book number is on page 3, top right hand corner. It's the number above the bar code. If that makes any sense perhaps it will save you the call.

I've been told the passport book number is on page 3, top right hand corner. It's the number above the bar code. If that makes any sense perhaps it will save you the call.
