American Institute in Taiwan

Representatives of the American Institute in Taiwan will be in Taichung August 24, 2005, to provide Consular services.  American citizens wishing to file applications for U.S. passports, and all persons requiring the services of a notary public for U.S. purposes, may come to the American Corner located in the National Taichung Library at 291-3, Jingwu Road, Taichung City from 9:00 am to 11:00 am for these services.  Only passport application and notary services will be available at this time.  Payment for services must be made in cash in either $NT or $US dollars only.  Please bring the exact amount as we cannot give change.

For adult U.S. passport renewals, each applicant is required to make in advance one A4-sized photocopy of each page in his or her current passport that contains a photograph or personal data.  Parents wishing to renew the passport of a child under 14 years of age must bring copies of the parents' passports or I.D. cards along with a copy of the child's birth certificate.  Applications for passports for children under 14 must be signed by both parents.  If both parents cannot come to the American Corner, the applying parent must bring notarized written consent of the other parent or a custody decree showing sole custody.  If you wish for your new passport to be mailed to you, please bring along a self-addressed stamped envelope with NT$30.00 postage.  For passport renewal information and required documents for adult and a child under 14 years of age, please refer to our website at <http://www.ait.org.tw/en/uscitizens/US_Passports.asp>
