Service Canada says cameras aren't permitted behind the counter in offices where passport applications are received or in the privately owned facilities where passports are made. Application stageThe first step involves filling out a form for a new child or adult passport, or a passport renewal form. Canadians can either send their completed application in by mail, or apply in person at a passport office or Service Canada centre, depending on how soon they need a passport. Once a passport application is approved — or "entitled," in passport office speak — it is ready for the manufacturing process. If Service Canada fails to get your passport back to you within the promised time period, it will waive the pickup fee.
