Common Questions

Travel Document or visa — which does my child need?

It depends on the child's nationality status at birth. Children born abroad to Chinese-national parents generally apply for a Travel Document, not a visa. See our guide: Child visa or Travel Document?

Can I apply from outside the US?

Yes. Travel Document filing is delivered fully online and processed by mail — available worldwide, wherever you are.

What if the Travel Document already expired?

An expired document is normally renewed the same way — contact us with the expiry date and we will confirm the right route.
