Residence Verification: Merely having an address in one of these states is insufficient. You must verify your residency within the consulate’s jurisdiction by presenting a valid driver’s license or other state government-issued ID. Ensure that your ID is valid at the time of your appointment; check expiration dates in advance to determine if renewal is necessary.

It’s important to adhere strictly to your consulate’s specific instructions to ensure your application process is smooth and to avoid unnecessary complications.
