Renewal of Passport for Children under 18

Child applicants under 18 who have previously held a Swedish passport must be accompanied by a legal guardian and bring the following when applying for a new passport:

• The child's old passport, valid or expired.
  
  
• Original documentation proving Canadian status (valid visa or Permanent Resident Card) or Canadian citizenship (naturalization certificate), or notarized copy of same.
  
  If the applicant became a Canadian citizen before July 1, 2001, documentation from the Swedish Migration Board must be provided to certify that he/she has regained Swedish citizenship.
  
  
• Written consent of both legal guardians, on a separate authorization form which may be downloaded from the righthand column of this page and signed prior to visiting the embassy.
  
  
• If legal custody has been granted to one parent or to another person, legal proof of guardianship must be submitted with the application.
  
  
• Passports (or other valid photo ID with a clearly visible signature) of both legal guardians, or a notarized copy of same.
  
  
• Application fee of $76 in cash or in the form of a money order, payable to the Embassy of Sweden.

Do not bring passport photos.  As part of new procedures introduced in 2007, all applicants are digitally photographed on site at the time of the application.

The new passport is normally ready 1-2 weeks from the time of application.  It must be picked up in person by a legal guardian or by the applicant, if she or he is 15 or older. The passport may be picked up at any Swedish consulate in Canada.  For pick-up of the new passport at a consulate there is a shipping fee of $19 (payable at time of application) and an additional processing fee of $12 (payable at pick-up).
