Supporting Documents

You must present identification at the U.S. Embassy to collect your passport.

If a representative is collecting your passport from the U.S. Embassy on your behalf - even in case of family members - the representative must present:

  • A government-issued photo ID for identification
  • A photocopy of your government-issued photo ID
  • A letter of authority, signed by you, authorizing your representative to collect your passport. The letter of authority must contain the following information:
    • Your representative's full name as shown on their government-issued photo ID
    • Your name
    • The receipt number (immigrant visa applicants must include their receipt number on the letter)

If the applicant is under the age of 16, the following documents are required:

  • An original, signed letter of authority from either of the applicant's parents
  • A clear photocopy of the government-issued photo ID belonging to the parent who signed the applicant's letter of authority
  • The representative's original government-issued photo ID
    Please note: In case of a group/family, a single letter of authority with the required information for each of the applicants will be accepted.
