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.

Hi again Ms. Rhodilee. Some agencies who process passport application ask for a fee of Php 2,000. Is this the current charge nowadays?

Hi! Your website is very informative. I just need advice since I’m confused with the requirements given to me by the agency for the application of my children with minor ages. According to this agency, DFA needs a copy of my Marriage Contract from NSO and a copy of the same authenticated by the Local Registry or in the Philippine Embassy here in abroad where I work. Is my marriage contract issued by the NSO not enough to suffice the requirements?
