Should my Document Copies be in Color, or can They be Black and White?

The color of your document copies depends on the embassy or consulate where you are applying. For example, if you are applying at the Chinese embassy or consulate in Washington, D.C., then all of your document copies must be in color. However, if you are applying at the Chinese embassy or consulate in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, or Chicago, then your document copies can be in black and white.

It is important to check the visa requirements carefully before you apply, as the document copy requirements may vary depending on the embassy or consulate where you are applying.

In general, it is best to submit color copies of your documents. Color copies are more difficult to alter or counterfeit, and they can help to ensure that your application is processed quickly and efficiently.

However, if the embassy or consulate does not specifically require color copies, then you may be able to submit black and white copies.
