<p>The SS administration did not verify that I am a US citizen and I have to provide proof of citizenship. I've called three schools so far and they told me to fax them a copy of my passport. I was just wondering if it mattered whether it was in color or not, because I don't have a color fax machine. Also, what info should I provide on the cover sheet? </p>
<p>Thanks for your time</p>
<p>No, it does not have to be in color and you do not have to fax it in color. If you have received an e-mail or letter and there is a person’s name attached, I would recommend that you fax your information to the attention of that person. make sure you keep a copy of the fax confirmation that you sent it. </p>
<p>I would follow up with a hard copy of your documents in the mail, including a copy of the fax confirmation in the mail. Go to the post office and send it with a delivery confirmation.</p>
<p>You also could ask the person if they would prefer that you email a color scan of the photo page of your passport.</p>
<p>There is no reason for the copy to be in color. It just has to be clear and easy to read.</p>
<p>Also … are you a citizen? If so, please contact social security to make sure your records are updated.</p>
