The Affidavit of Loss Passport is a crucial document required when a Canadian passport has been lost, stolen, or destroyed. This sworn statement, governed by Canadian federal legislation, must be completed before applying for a replacement passport. The affidavit serves multiple purposes: it creates an official record of the loss, helps prevent fraudulent use of the lost passport, and provides Passport Canada with necessary information for issuing a replacement. The document must include specific details about the lost passport, circumstances of its loss, and the declarant's personal information. It needs to be sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths or Notary Public, making it a legally binding declaration. The requirements for this affidavit are established under the Canadian Passport Order and must align with the Statutory Declarations Act.
