My wife's passport will expire in December this year.  I have searched the internet, and can't find a company I can hire to do this.  I can't even find English directions on how to do this.  We have three months, but it seems like I should get this started so we don't let it expire.  Has anyone done this before?  We live near Detroit, it looks like we'll have to use the Chinese consulate in Chicago if I am reading everything correctly.

 

Thanks!

Jon

Directions are in CHINESE, since people who hold Chinese passports ARE Chinese - check the consulate's website.

 

You may submit a pre-paid self-addressed mailer (I believe they can take either USPS or FedEx) to have the passport mailed back to you.

 

This form is from the New York consulate

That form is dated 2015 - you might check the Chicago site for a newer form.

The Chicago and S.F. sites still have a form from 2011 linked. I actually got a response from a Chinese consulate worker yesterday, he sent me a link to get an appointment and the form.

 

I am aware it is all in Chinese, thanks for the heads up.

 

Looks like I am set, if anyone finds this post and is having the same trouble, I suggest emailing the Chinese consulate, they respond quicker than expected.
