What documents are needed to replace a passport?

Due to the epidemic, people who want to change their passports when traveling abroad for private purposes must prove that there are urgent matters in the foreign country or special matters that must be dealt with abroad now. The original certificate of being in the foreign country must be submitted, and a new passport can be replaced only after passing the review. .

To apply for passport renewal, you must apply in person at the consulate or passport-issuing agency, fill out the "Chinese Passport Application Form", submit 3 recent passport photos of yourself with no hat on the front, and write your name on the back of the photo.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the National Immigration Administration of China has repeatedly issued announcements to the public that it will not accept passport applications for non-essential and non-urgent situations. Since then, the issuance of new passports, replacement of expired passports, and replacement of lost passports for entry and exit needs have become more stringent.

Currently, there is still great uncertainty in the development of the COVID-19 epidemic, and traveling abroad will face greater risks of infection and the risk of staying abroad. The National Immigration Administration recommends that you postpone or cancel your outbound trip if there are no urgent reasons to ensure your personal health and safety.
