How to Print a Courier-In Authorization Certificate Bogota

[usaman1999 17]

My fiancé was given yellow sheet at her interview, advising that she needs to send the embassy original copies of my prior divorces. The paper states to send them via DHL according to instructions on the website. Part of those instructions state:

 

Instructions on how to print a Courier-In Authorization Certificate will be provided when one of these scenarios occurs during appointment scheduling through this website. The Courier-In Authorization Certificate allows an applicant to send documents using the courier, free of charge, to the U.S. Consular Section.

 

I logged onto the site but there isn't any option to create a Courier-In Authorization Certificate.

 

What should I do?

Those certificates are paid by the embassy, and are for only certain things.  Per what you wrote, it seems this is when something happens during appointment scheduling.

 

This is a request for additional information post interview.  You will normally pay for shipping yourself.

I wondered about that, too. Should I send the documents from the US or send them to my fiance in Colombia so she can send them to the embassy?

I found the link by logging onto the scheduling website we used to schedule the appointment and select the courier. There is a courier tab that has an option that the embassy has requested additional documents. Selected that and then created the bar code labels, one to give the courier service and the other to include with the documents, There is no charge for this.

I emailed the embassy to ask and I received this reply:

 But between my email to the embassy and their reply I figured this out on my own by entering on the website and finding what I needed to print the bar code pages needed to send the documents to the embassy. I hope this information will be helpful to others
