Domestic Passport

[Arryl77]

Hi everyone,


I'm in the process of preparing my online application for Canadian citizenship and had a question regarding supporting documents, specifically related to foreign passports.

I have a domestic passport from my country of origin that is not valid for international travel—it cannot be used to enter or exit the country, and I have never used it for any travel purposes. It’s essentially a domestic ID document in passport format that is still called a passport and has a bio page with photos and some other information like stamps about travel documents, marital info, etc.
Given that the IRCC asks for copies of all passports and travel documents covering the 5-year eligibility period, I’m wondering:

1. Do I need to submit this domestic passport (even though it wasn’t used for travel)?
2. If yes, do all the pages (and not only the biographical page) need to be translated (it’s not in English or French)?

I want to make sure I submit everything correctly, but also avoid unnecessary translations or documents if they’re not required.

Has anyone had a similar experience or received clarification from IRCC on this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
