- Only use the Pre-Paid Shipping Label from Federal Express to send your documents. Do not use the US Post Office, UPS, or any other form of shipping, as this will greatly delay your order.
- Do not open the sealed envelope to include an additional item. Once the package has been sealed, it can only be opened by a Passport Agency. If a sealed envelope has been opened, it will not be accepted at the US Department of State.
