applying HKSAR passport and smart I.D. card

Dear sir or madam,

I am currently lived in Seattle, Washington. I need to apply HKSAR passport and smart ID card. I have my H.K. old I.D. card (3 stars type). Can I come to Vancouver B.C. Chinese General Consulate to submit the applications? Do I need to schedule an appointment or line up to take an admission number? What form of payment do you accept like cash, credit card or personal check or money order? Thanks!
