I. Introduction to Passport
Passport is a legal document issued by a country to prove the nationality and identity of its citizens when they enter and leave the country and travel or stay abroad.
The word Passport means port pass in English. In other words, a passport is a passport for citizens to pass through international ports in various countries. Therefore, some countries in the world usually issue passes instead of passports.
Second, how to apply for a passport and where to go.
(1) Passport handling place: the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau handles it uniformly. Specifically:
Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau where the household registration is located,
Exit-entry management office of the public security bureau of the soldier's unit or work unit.
(2) Procedures for handling passports
Step one, get the exit application form. Bring my ID card or other household registration certificate or residence booklet to the local police station and the exit-entry administration department of the Public Security Bureau to receive the "Approval Form for China Citizens Going Abroad for Private Purposes";
Step two, fill out the application form.
This form is in quadruplicate, which must be filled in completely, and each item must be consistent with the information in the household registration book;
The ID number should be the number in the official ID card, not the temporary id card number. Otherwise, do not fill in or fill in "None".
The application number is printed in the upper right corner of the form (the numbers of the four forms are the same), so you must remember this number for future inquiry;
The third step is to submit the application. When submitting an application, you must bring the original ID card or residence booklet, the first page of residence booklet, personal information page, change page and a copy of your ID card, fill in the complete original application form, and prepare two recent 2-inch bareheaded color photos that meet the requirements;
The fourth step is to pay the fee. After submitting the application, the applicant shall immediately pay the fee at the toll booth with the Receipt of Application for Going Abroad for Private Business (the applicant shall pay the fee on the day of acceptance. If the payment is overdue, the date of receiving the certificate will be notified separately. If the payment is not made within one month after the application, it will be deemed as a waiver of the application, and the application materials will not be returned to me);
The fifth step is to handle the time limit. After accepting the application, the local entry-exit administration office takes different time to approve and issue passports, generally ranging from 10 to 15 working days;
Step six, get your passport. You can pick up your passport yourself, or pick it up for others, or by express delivery. The specific content has relevant regulations everywhere.
Three. Matters needing attention in handling passports:
1, I received:
The applicant himself must get the certificate on time according to the date of evidence collection indicated on the receipt of the application for going abroad (for private reasons) or the date of evidence collection notified by the exit-entry administration department. On the day of obtaining evidence, the applicant himself will present the Receipt of Application for Going Abroad for Private Purposes and the payment receipt, and bring the resident ID card or household registration book to the entry-exit reception hall where the application is accepted to collect the documents. After receiving the certificate, please carefully check the contents of the certificate. If there are any mistakes, please correct them in time.
2. On behalf of others:
The agent takes the Receipt of Application for Going Abroad for Private Purposes, his ID card and a copy of the passport applicant's ID card to the Exit-Entry Administration Office to collect the passport.
3. Express delivery:
If you want to choose express delivery, you must go through the formalities at the postal express counter of the entry-exit administration office and pay the express delivery fee on the day of passport application with the "receipt for going abroad for personal reasons". The express delivery scope is subject to the regulations of the local entry-exit administration office.
4. I can't get my passport certificate at the weekend:
The latest office hours of the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Municipal Public Security Bureau are as follows:
From Monday to Friday at 8: 30- 16: 30, the acceptance window for China citizens' entry and exit documents will open at noon.
At 9:00- 16:00 on Saturday, the accreditation hall of the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau worked overtime to receive applications for entry-exit certificates from China citizens. If there is any change, notice will be given separately.
I hope the above content can help you. Please consult a professional lawyer if you have any other questions.
