Dear Friends and Wardens,

A Consular Officer will be on a trip to Khmelnitskyi on Friday, October 24, 2008 and will be available to provide a range of Consular services in the lobby of the Hotel Lube Plus, located at 16 Chervonoarmiyska Str from 9:00 a.m. till 11:00 a.m.

You can reach the Consular Officer at the following cellular phone number: 8-050-353-4871.

The range of Consular services includes:

• Notary services (affidavits, powers of attorney, acknowledgements etc.): You may either prepare the document in advance or use our standard blank form on the spot. Please do not sign the document in advance. You will have to sign it under oath in front of the Consular Officer. The fee is USD 30 cash for the first seal and USD 20 for each additional seal provided at the same time in connection with the same transaction.
• Passport application (first child passport, first adult passport, regular renewal or replacement of a lost/stolen passport): While we cannot issue a passport on the spot, we can accept passport applications and send them to the U.S. National Passport Center. All required forms can be filled out on the spot or you can download them in advance from the website of the Department of State. The following items are necessary for your application:
• For a child’s first passport, regular renewal or lost/stolen passport replacement - USD 85 cash, originals, photocopies and English translations (if needed) of the child’s birth certificate, parents’ marriage certificate, both parents’ passports, and two passport-size photos of the child (2”x 2”). Additionally, in cases of lost/stolen passports we will require a police report. In all cases, the presence of the child is a must. Please note that in almost all cases the consent of both parents is required if the child is under 16 years of age. Please contact the American Citizens Services Unit using the information below if both parents will be unable to appear in person to sign the application.
• For the first adult passport - USD 100, an original and a photocopy of the expiring or expired passport, and two passport-size photos (2”x 2”)
• For regular renewal of an adult passport - USD 75, an original and a photocopy of the expiring or expired U.S. passport, and two passport-size photos (2”x 2”)
• For replacement of an adult lost/stolen passport - USD 100, originals and copies of photo IDs, a copy of the lost/stolen passport (if available), and a police statement.
