UPDATE: The community barbecue and pop-up passport service that were originally scheduled to take place tomorrow, August 4th, in Swan River have been postponed to September 1st.
More details to come.
The original article follows:
Dan Mazier, MP for Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, will be hosting a community barbecue and pop-up passport service in Dauphin on Wednesday, August 3rd.
The community barbecue will take place in the Dauphin Market Place Mall parking lot from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and the pop-up passport service will run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the conference room at Best Western Plus. There will also be a photographer on site to take and print official passport photographs.
In order to get help with your passport application, you must bring the following items:
- Identification: Original birth certificate, Canadian citizenship card, or most recent Canadian passport (current or expired within 15 years). If applying for a married surname, a copy of proof of marriage is required.
- Secondary ID: Photo ID issued by the federal or provincial government (e.g. driver's licence). It must contain your name, date of birth, sex, photo and signature.
- References: Name, mailing address, and phone numbers of two people, not related to you, who have known you for two years.
- Guarantor: A guarantor is a Canadian citizen, 18 years of age or older, in possession of a valid Canadian passport who has known you for two years. A family member may be your guarantor if they meet the requirements. They cannot provide a guarantor. A guarantor is not required for an adult simplified renewal application.
- Payment: Credit card, money order or certified cheque for passport application — $120 for a 5-year adult passport, $160 for a 10-year adult passport, and $57 for a child's (0-15 years of age) passport. The official photographer will charge $20 (cash only).
In addition, Mazier will also be making stops in other communities.
In Neepawa, there will be a community barbecue on Tuesday, August 2nd from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Neepawa Office (across from the Co-op) and a pop-up passport service will be held at the Arts Forward Centre from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. that same day.
