Canadian Passport - Guarantor Signature - Who?

Is it ok for a spouse to sign as the guarantor on the passport application?

Hi

  1. No, from the instructions

                 You need two references for your passport renewal or new applications. Your references must:
  • have known you for at least:

  • two years for passport applications- six months for Certificate of Identity or Refugee Travel Document applications

  • not be your guarantor- not be a family member- be 18 years of age or older- agree to you using their name and contact information for your application

                 Family members who can't be a reference for your application        
                   This includes your:
    

spouse or common-law partner
