      Sorry about that. We will look into it. By the way, did you drop his old passport with us? Or is this a fresh one?

    Hi Abu Susan, Good evening and happy new year. Please I would like to make some enquiries: I applied for renewal of passport for my mum and son, and also a fresh passport application for my 2nd son. I would like to confirm 4 things: 1. Is it ok to get just 1 money order of $150 for the 3 of them or do I have to get 3 money orders of $50 each? 2. Can I use one self-addressed envelope for the return of the passports for the 3 applicants? or I must use separate envelopes for each one of the applicants? 3. My appointment date is between 2.05pm and 2.11pm on Friday, January 14, 2022 but I noticed the confirmation email states that the mission is only open for passport renewals from 9.30am - 2pm. Is it okay if I come in before 2pm? 4. For the fresh passport, do I need original Birth certificate or photocopy is okay? The original has been sent along for the Canadian passport application. I look forward to your response. Thank you so much and have a great day. Best regards
