What is a Form PPTC 203E - Declarations Concerning a Lost, Stolen, Inaccessible, Damaged or Found Canadian Passport?
Form PPTC 203E is a declaration form used by Canadian citizens residing in Ontario who have lost or had their passport stolen. This form is used to declare the circumstances surrounding the loss or theft of the passport, as well as to provide information about the individual's identity.
The form requires the individual to provide personal information, such as their full name, date of birth, and current address, as well as details about the lost or stolen passport, including the passport number and the date it was issued.
The purpose of this form is to help the Canadian government prevent fraud and identity theft by ensuring that a lost or stolen passport is reported promptly and accurately. By completing this form, the individual is also providing evidence that they have taken steps to safeguard their identity and protect their passport from unauthorized use.
Once the form is completed and submitted to Passport Canada, the individual can begin the process of obtaining a new passport. It is important to note that failure to report a lost or stolen passport in a timely manner can result in serious consequences, including fines and potential criminal charges.
