Update (March 30, 2008): Online passport processing is now available for first time applicants, please read this post for details: Apply for New Philippine Passport Online
At last, renewing and applying for a passport in the Philippines is now much easier. Passport application through the DFA Passport Appointment System by Internet is now available for Filipinos.Through this online passport application system, people who want to file passport applications can set an appointment with the DFA via the internet instead of waking up very early to be able to transact for their passport in the DFA offices or pay for more when availing the help of travel agencies.
The DFA Passport Appointment System is initially available for
- those whose passports have already expired;
- those whose passport will be expiring within the next one year; and
- senior citizens
The DFA appointment system will reportedly be available to all passport applicants in the future.
Passport applicants can apply for an appointment by sending a request to appointment@dfa.go.ph with the following details:
• Full name (first name, middle name and surname);
• Date of birth;
• Place of birth;
• Latest Passport Number and Date of Issuance
Passport applicants will then be sent a reference number and a confirmation which will include details of designated date and time for the filing of the passport application at the DFA-Passport Office.

Good day!
Gusto ko lang pong malaman kung talaga po bang di na valid ang passport valid up to january 19, 2011 for visa application to Saudi Arabia kasi I was ask to renew para up to 2013 ang passport validity ko… In contrary, according to the consular of Saudi sa website nila, atleast 2 years valid passport where in January 19, 2011 is exactly 2 years at over 2 years pa valid ang passport by this date… meron po bang instance na baka pwedeng maconsider na mabigyan ako ng visa at within 2years eh saka nalang ako magrenew?

The photos must be attached to the passport application form

I did not see from your List of requirements a photo ID. When do you require this since it is essential to have a photo on the passport?
