Kitchener Passport Office

With my foster son we went to a lawyer. We called around and found a really nice one. He charged us 35.00. That was 2 years ago.

How long does it take for a passport if you can not get someone to Guarantor the applicant?

Don't quote me on this (you may want to do a little research to confirm this), but I think with the new application forms a friend or family member who already has a valid passport can be your guarantor.

I agree with a previous poster, fill the forms out online, print them and go directly to the passport office... don't mail it in. Like i said in an earlier post, my passport arrived one week after I went to the office.

My daughters boyfriends is cruising with us in January. We cannot get someone to be his Guarantor. Now what? According to the website a person authorized by law to administer an oath can do it with the "Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor" form. Is this a Commisioner of Oath? How long would it take going in this direction?

According to the following link anyone with a passport can sign as as a guarantor as of Oct. of this year. There is a min. length of time you need to have known the person.

not sure about line ups but if you can do them on line then you will have a separate line up which is ususally faster. Only adults can do the on line forms but you can still process all of them together even if you have kids that had to be done manually.

good luck

We went to the Kitchener passport office on a Thursday in August. We pulled into the parking lot at 8:12 am. I was told it opened at 8:30 but the doors didn't open until 8:50. I checked and double checked all our info because I was really stressed about this and it was a 2 hour drive for us but we had no problem. Service was quick and friendly and we were in the van leaving the parking lot at 9:11 am! We had our passports in hand exactly 7 days later on the following Thursday.
