The following information is based on Canadian citizenship only (other nationalities will need to review the passport criteria associated with their home country):

• Passports are required for any international travel.
• Apply as soon as possible as wait times vary and unknown delays could surface.
• Application forms are available:
  - Online;
  - From any post office or travel agency; or
  - From the Passport Office: 100 Hebron Way, St. John's.
• For processing times, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/processing-times.html. For a fee, you can arrange for emergency processing by visiting the Passport Canada Office in person.
• Passports must have at least 6 months validity left after the intended return date to Canada. Some countries will require 2 blank pages for a visa.
• Make 3 copies of passport before leaving home:
  - Leave one at home;
  - Bring one with you but keep separate from your passport; and
  - Leave the third with a person of trust such as the Co-operative Education Services Coordinator located in the University Centre, 4th Floor, UC4000. You may also call 864-4484 or email cesc@mun.ca.
• If your passport becomes lost or stolen:
  - Report the loss or stolen passport immediately to the local police and to the nearest Canadian Embassy or Consulate.
  - The photocopied passport should be enough to convince the Canadian Embassy or consulate of your citizenship in order to obtain a replacement.
