Do we have to print all 8 pages, or can we not print the last 4 with the instructions? Hi Kim. You do not need to submit the instruction pages with your application, so it is your choice if you print them.
In the US, people usually use Express Mail (from USPS), Fedex, or UPS for sending passports and similar documents. One can use registered mail (also from USPS), but I understand that in most cases it has little, if any, advantage over Express Mail. (Not much cheaper, just as secure, and slower).
You can print the document in black-and-white or in color. You don't need to print all six pages of the application form, only pages #5 and #6.
