What is it? 

When applying for a Canadian passport, you will need to find a guarantor to put down in your application. The requirements to be a guarantor differ depending on the application being made (i.e. military personnel, regular application made in Canada, regular application made outside of Canada, etc.). However, the main requirement is that your guarantor must have known you for at least two (2) years. Your guarantor must complete and sign the Declaration of Guarantor portion of your passport application, and write on the back of your photographs to be submitted in your passport application. 

But what if say you just moved cities in Canada and there is no one you've known for more than 2 years? In that case or other similar scenario where you cannot find a guarantor for your passport application, then you will need to complete a Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form. Unfortunately, the Government of Canada has not provided the form online for download. To get a copy of the form you must go to your local passport office (in Canada), your local Canadian embassy or consulate (outside of Canada), or to contact the Passport Program directly. To contact the Passport Program, click here. 

If you are unable to find a guarantor and have to fill out a Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form as part of your application for a new Canadian passport, the Statutory Declaration will have to be commissioned by a Commissioner of Oaths. If you have a guarantor, you will NOT need to fill out a Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form.
