It is possible to have several services during the same visit to the Consulate. Please make a separate appointment for each individual service.

Scheduled appointments will be automatically cancelled for applicants who arrive more than fifteen minutes after their scheduled time.

No appointments are necessary to pick up new passports which have already been mailed to the Consulate, to pick up Social Security checks or ask questions about Social Security benefits, or to submit additional documents which the Consulate has requested for a passport or Consular Report of Birth Abroad application.

No appointment is required for a true emergency, such as if you have had your passport stolen and have an urgent need to travel outside of China. Appointments are not needed to apply for Reports of Death.
