Canadian passport fees
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) sets passport fees. Most fees increased on March 31, 2026, and IRCC says they will now adjust every year under the Service Fees Act. The fee you pay is the one in effect on the day you submit an online or in-person application, or the day IRCC receives a mailed one. This page is part of our directory of what things cost in Canada.
| Passport | Living in Canada | Living outside Canada |
|---|---|---|
| 10-year adult passport (age 16 and up) | $163.50 | $266.25 |
| 5-year adult passport (age 16 and up) | $122.50 | $194.25 |
| Child passport (5-year validity only) | $58.50 | $102.50 |
| Other service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Urgent pickup | $125.75 |
| Weekend or statutory holiday service | $383.50 |
| Temporary passport | $125.75 |
| Interim passport | $150.75 |
Fees in Canadian dollars, from IRCC’s “Passport and travel document fee changes” page, for applications received on or after March 31, 2026.
Cost per year of validity
A 10-year adult passport at $163.50 works out to $16.35 a year; a 5-year one at $122.50 to $24.50 a year. Two 5-year passports over a decade cost $245.00, which is $81.50 more than one 10-year passport (at today’s fees, which will change).
A family’s passport fees
Two adults renewing 10-year passports in Canada and two children: 2 × $163.50 + 2 × $58.50 = $444.00 in passport fees, before photos.
Other costs of applying
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Passport photos | Taken by a commercial photographer; the price depends on the store or studio |
| Proof of citizenship | A provincial birth certificate or a citizenship certificate, if you don’t have one already, has its own fee |
| A replacement for a lost or stolen passport | You apply for a new passport and pay the full fee, plus an additional administrative fee if the lost or stolen passport was still valid |
| Travel to a passport office | For urgent or in-person service |
Processing times and how to apply
How long a passport takes, the urgent and express options, the forms for a first passport and for the simplified renewal, guarantors, references and photo requirements are covered in how to get a passport in Canada. Applying well ahead of a trip avoids paying for urgent service, and many countries require a passport to be valid for several months after you arrive.
