China people in the United States need to change their passports at the nearest consulate if they want to go to the embassies and consulates in new york, Houston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and China.

I. Need to provide:

1. Original and photocopy of passport (information page with photo copied, extension page with extension explanation, page with exit inspection stamp when leaving the country, page with entry visa and entry stamp).

2. Proof of current residence in the United States. If you have a green card or work permit, provide the original and photocopy of the green card or work permit. Other personnel are required to provide the original and photocopy of the visa to the United States and a valid I-94 card, among which the original and photocopy of the I-20 form are required for those with F 1 and F2 visas, and the original and photocopy of the IAP-66 form are required for those with J 1 and J2 visas.

4. 2X2 inch front, bareheaded and recent color photos.

5. Other materials related to the application required by the consular officer (if necessary, the consular officer will take the initiative to contact the applicant after reviewing the application).

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 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.
