American Citizen Services is pleased to announce the launch of our new passport return by mail program.  Beginning February 1^st, 2009, American citizens who wish to receive their new U.S. print passport by mail may choose to have their passports delivered by China Post.  Applicants will still have to appear in person at the Embassy to submit their passport applications and will need to return their old passport for cancellation by ACS. This program is optional, and normal China Post delivery rates will apply.   This program is only for passport delivery within China.  Deliveries outside of China (including Hong Kong) are not eligible.

Requirements:  To be eligible for the program, applicants MUST bring with them on the day of their appointment their detailed local mailing address written in CHINESE CHARACTERS.  A delivery telephone number is also required.  China Post will not accept any address written in English or pinyin.  Also, China Post will not leave packages at the door.  Please make sure the address is for a location where there will be someone to receive the envelope.
