Passport renewal at Washington DC (CKGS Fedex shipment)
Sharing my own experience -

1) Didn't add any lose photos, only pasted 2 photos on 2 forms (no of forms needing photo is applicant dependent). Got photos from local Costco and just asked for passport photos and didn't mention anything exclusive.

2) I opted for CKGS paid shipping for both sides (FedEx).

3) Used USPS notary.

4) For adding spouse name I didnt add any document as there was nothing on checklist. (Yes this was a surprise)

5) Forgot to paste the application barcode on the FedEx envelope (a small barcode which is there in my account page for printout and it has the ref number from embassy website ). They should put this in checklist but anyways this didn't turn out to be an issue. May be this is because it took 4 days to update the status to received for me,

Here is the timeline:

Feb 24th Mon - Dropped the package at local fedex.
Feb 25th Tue - FedEx delivered to CKGS (from this point I was worried as I didn't paste application ref barcode on the outside of FedEx Envelope.
