Ontario Birth Cert Reissued
I have to renew my passport soon.
Recently my birth certificate was amended and re-issued to change my mother's middle name.
In order to have the amendment processed I needed to surrender my original Ontario BC to the registrar general. I would imagine it would have been cancelled.
However, that would be the BC I originally used to apply for my first passport almost 20 years ago. So the BC certificate number passport Canada has on file is now likely void.
Am I still eligible for renewal, or would I need to do a brand new application with a guarantor?
Is Passport Canada electronically linked to the provincial registrar generals?
