QueueNumberNine I submitted my visa application in person and was given a pickup slip for next week. I may not be able to return to the consulate during pickup hours because of work. Has anyone used a courier or authorized another person to collect the passport? I am mainly worried about the exact wording needed on the authorization letter.
StampWindow My spouse collected mine with the original pickup slip, a signed authorization letter, and copies of both IDs. The staff barely looked at the letter, but they did keep it with the slip.
china-checkin-desk Use plain wording: your full name, passport number, the authorized person's full name, their ID number, and permission to collect the passport and visa documents on your behalf. Add date and signature.
ConsulateMorning Courier rules vary by consulate. Some will not release passports to commercial couriers unless the service is already known to them. Calling the office before you arrange it is worth the time.
