New Online Passport Application Form Wizard
The U.S. Consulate General in Shenyang is pleased to announce the launch of new online passport application form wizard. The form produced by this wizard contains a bar code which allows us to electronically transfer data into our system and therefore reduce waiting time during the passport application process.
The new online passport application form wizard can be found at: https://pptform.state.gov/.
Once a passport applicant has entered the requested information, the wizard generates a PDF file form with a two-dimensional (2D) barcode. This form must then be printed and submitted to the American Citizen Services Unit during our regular public hours.
Data for the form must be input in English. *Please submit the original printed form -- photocopies or faxes of the printed form are not acceptable because the 2D barcode will not function properly.
U.S. Consulate Offers New Passport Delivery Service to American Citizens
Shenyang consular district (Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces) American citizens may choose to have their passports returned directly to their homes via the China Post Express Messenger Service (EMS) . This service requires a small additional fee payable directly to Chine Post (EMS). Americans may also choose instead to pick up their passports at the Consulate, and there is no fee to do so; however, we encourage Americans to consider the delivery option because it is more convenient and will not require a return trip to the Consulate.
The Shenyang Post Office’s Express Messenger Service (EMS) representative will be present in the Consular Waiting Room at 3:30pm on each ACS appointment day. Once the passport application is approved, the American Citizen will have the opportunity to arrange delivery with the EMS representative. The representative will assist the American citizen to fill out a mailing label and to ensure that the information provided is correct. EMS will then enter the customer’s name, ticket number, and date of birth into their computer system. This system will assign a tracking number for each address. American citizens can then access the tracking system by telephone to monitor the delivery process.
Delivery fees range from RMB 20 to 50, depending on the address and the number of passports -- for example, one family may be renewing multiple passports at the same time and EMS can accommodate up to four passports in a package. The EMS fee must be paid in cash at the time of registration for the delivery service.
