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.

I want to ask regarding renewal of my passport. I am already married but since I convert to muslim, is it possible to use already my maiden as in our religion it is not allowed for a muslim wormn to stay with a christian husband if he did not convert at all.
Is it possible to renew here online or need my appearance, what would be the requirements if i renew my passport and use my maiden name instead of my married name. And because i want to buy some property and would like to put it under my name and without any conjugal rights of my christian husband who has been with his other woman since our marriage.
I will be more happy to hear your immediate reply at my account.

Thanks.

My two sons were born in Saudi Arabia.Their Philippine passports were issued by Philippine Consulate, Jeddah Saudi Arabia sometime in 1994 and 1997. Can they use the old passport to renew? If thats the case do I need to send them a Power of attorney letter for the person to process since they are under age? They are living with their guardian which is my mom. Thank you

Miss what should i do? i really need passport until May because i can’t take exam if i don’t have passport. I study a german langauge here in cebu.. i try to applied passport in cebu, but i can’t because i am not live in cebu….
I can’t find a travel agency in baybay using internet….do you know one?
Everytime i put in my application form ” Destination” Germany” they always asked me what should i do there?
When i told them i will go there for fiancee visa…they have many Question and they asked me a documents that i don’t have.
I get Philhealth, and i went in commelect to registered. and they advice me to get voters affidavit…but i confuse it is a new registered. do you think it is valid and DFA will accept?
I planned to get Tin number….but i am student and some of my friend said i can get tin number if i am employed. do you think i can’t get Tin number because i am student?
