The processing time for a regular passport generally takes 10 to 15 days, while an expedited passport takes 5 working days. The specific regulation states that:
For citizens applying for a regular passport or for changes, renewals, or reissues of a regular passport, the public security immigration management agency shall issue the passport within 15 days from the date of receipt of the application materials.
Materials required for passport application:
Original identification card and photo. The photo must be taken at a photography studio designated by the public security bureau, or it can be taken at the immigration office, and a receipt from the photo session must be obtained. The passport application fee is 200 yuan, and the photo and express delivery fees are approximately 50 yuan.
The following precautions should be noted:
1. All corresponding supporting documents and copies must be in B5 or A4 paper size;
2. Since passport-specific photos need to be taken immediately, applicants should pay attention to their attire and appearance;
3. The photo affixed to the application form must be a straight-edge, front-facing, bare-headed, color half-length identification photo, printed on glossy photo paper, with a white background. The image must be clear, rich in detail, and natural in expression. Public officials should not wear uniforms, and children should not wear red scarves. Photos that do not meet the above requirements, including instant snapshots, reprints, or photos printed from color printers, will not be accepted.
