Getting an expired Canadian passport number
My wife needs to get the passport numbers for passports that she's held for the past seven years, but the Canadian passport she had was only five years. She doesn't have her expired passport anymore, so she'll need to somehow obtain it from official records.
I've looked online, and I don't see any Canadian services or offices for providing information on expired passports. Does anyone know how to get a hold of this kind of information?
Best Answer
If she has applied for an e-visa, or bought tickets on certain airlines she may find the full passport number in her e-mail cache, especially if she uses gmail and never deletes. Some foreign financial transactions might also require that info.
Sometimes filled out .pdf forms for visas etc. are also present on one's computer (I save mine in a dedicated folder).
For example, I found my ca. 2014 passport number in my email on reservations from Emirates, Hainan airlines and on a couple e-visas.
