When China citizens apply for passports for the first time, they must go to the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau where they are registered. Soldiers are handled in the exit-entry management office of the resident public security bureau of the army or work unit. Applicants are required to bring their ID cards, fill in the Approval Form for China Citizens Going Abroad for Private Purposes, and submit their applications. In the process of passport processing, the applicant must be present in person and cannot entrust others to do it. Upon completion, the applicant will get a passport.

To sum up, I need to go to the exit-entry administration office of the public security bureau where my account is located or where I live, bring my ID card and fill out the relevant application form. I can't entrust others to handle it, and I can get my passport after completion.
