        We have noticed recently that some applicants seek the assistance of messenger delivery services to submit applications of visas, passports or authentications.

 

        Due to lack of knowledge of the procedures, some messengers can not wait in the line, some are reluctant to open envelopes containing the application materials, some can not answer questions from the consuls, some can not present required surpporting documents. Therefore, some applications sent by messengers were refused or delayed.

 

        Please be noticed that the submission of visa, passport or authentication is quite different from any other delivery services. Please DO NOT use messenger delivery services to submit your applications or pick up visas, passports or authentications.
