Second, the way to apply for a permit.

You must submit the application in person, and you can't mail or entrust others to apply for it. You can use the evidence collection form to entrust others to collect evidence. If you need to mail it, it is recommended to entrust your relatives and friends or an agency to handle it, so you can negotiate with the post office in time if you have any questions. If there is any difficulty, you can reply to the post on your behalf, and prepare the draft (55 USD/copy) for the consulate and the envelope for the post office (all stamped and addressed, and the sender and recipient's addresses are written with the applicant's own address). The consulate does not assume any responsibility for the problems in the mailing process.

No need to make an appointment in advance.

Third, the time and cost of applying for a permit.

1, it takes one month (it needs to be sent to new york Passport Center for production), and it costs 55 dollars;

2. Irregular renewal (if you apply for passport renewal due to damage or alteration), you need to check with the issuing authority. The time is uncertain and the cost is $65,438+005.

3. Only cash and money orders are accepted.
