14. I cannot come to the Consulate

14. I cannot come to the Consulate to pick up my passport. Can someone do it for me?
Yes. But the person must bring a letter from you authorizing the Consulate to surrender the passport. As an alternative, the passport may be returned by mail if the applicant leaves a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope from the US Postal Service (Express Mail only) at the moment of the submission. THIS CONSULATE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PASSPORTS LOST IN THE MAIL.
