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.
For more details, visit DFA.gov.ph

how about for new passport applicant…is there an online application??please notify me on my email..thanks
February 3rd, 2008 at 7:22 am
rchard,
as far as i know, the online passport application is limited to those renewing their passport.
February 22nd, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I also like to know if theres an online application for new passport applicant. Pls notify me too to on my email. Thank you!
February 22nd, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Please check the DFA site for developments but as of the time this article is written, the system is available only to the following:
1. those whose passports have already expired;
2. those whose passport will be expiring within the next one year; and
3. senior citizens
which means that no new passport application is processed via the appointment system yet.
February 28th, 2008 at 10:50 am
i have a question,i’ve got my passport but there a problem on my middle name how can i fix that thing and where? tnx.
February 28th, 2008 at 10:53 am
As far as I know you have to report that ASAP to the DFA. Ideally within 6 months after your passport has been issued to you.
March 14th, 2008 at 7:30 am
nasunugan kami noong 2002 at lahat ng documents ay nadamay,magrerenew sana ang bayaw ko ng passport nya pero nakalimutan nya ang passport number nya.pano ang gagawin nya? please e-mail me..salamat po
March 14th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Tawag nalang kayo sa DFA. They will give the needed advice.
March 14th, 2008 at 5:06 pm

March 15th, 2008 at 6:22 am
Hi Jordana,
It will be best if you call the DFA or related government agencies as they can do something about your concern.
March 29th, 2008 at 7:44 am
For online passport applications, visit passport.com.ph. You will pay PhP1,500 total, they will pick up the documents from you, schedule you for a personal appearance and will ship the passport to you.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:25 am
How about the new applicant is there also an online application or appoinment especially the 8 yr old. kid? Please notify me thru my

i applied a new passport yesterday personally and they give me a sched. for payment on april 30th.hOw much should i pay. pls reply tnx
April 25th, 2008 at 5:57 am
Mae, please do check with the DFA or the agency.Agencies here in the Philippines usually charge 1500 for a 15 day passport processing though.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
ask ko lang po.instead of renewing my passport. I will apply for new one. Because I need a new passport ASAP…nag apply na ako ng renewal last 2006.pero ang tagal ng process.kailangan pa ng verification…nabasa kasi yung passport me last typhoon milenyo…parang mas madali pa yung process pag new applicant sa passport…may ma eencounter po ba akong problem incase na i-try ko na new applicant na lang ako instead of renewing my old passport?
April 29th, 2008 at 4:27 am
Willie, Filipinos are only allowed ONE (1) Philippine issued passport. Magkakaron ka ng malaking problema pag nahuli ka na dalawa ang passport mo. 15 days ang pinakamadali na passport processing/issuance sa atin.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:28 am
to all renewal and new applicant;
kagagaling ko lang sa DFA to renew my passport.Grabe…di mo na kayang i-process ang passport in 1 day.pag pumunta ka dun kahit 7am you will be getting only an appointment date.dahil may qouta na raw (500 a day)…grabe pa mga fixer.ang lalakas mang darag…akala mo empleyado ng DFA! kaya ingat mga kabayan…kaya tomorrow morning (2am) I will go there na.para pumila para magbakasakali…maisama sa 1st 500 person…kasi ang sched ng appointment ko e sa May 7 pa…mas maganda pa yung proseso dati…
kaya mga kabayan good luck sa pag renew or pag apply nyo ng passport…Ingat sa mga gagong fixer…basta diretso lang kayu sa loob wag nyo pansinin yung mga fixer.walang requirement pagpumasok sa DFA…kaya wag maniwala sa mga fixer…
April 29th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Why don’t you ask the help of an agency nalang? At least di ka masiado mahirapan?
April 30th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
to all it may concern,
my daughter has to renew her passport issued by the PCG-HK.since i am not in the Philippines to do that,i authorized someone to do it for me with the power of a lawyer in the PCG-HK.as all the requirements for a passport renewal was completed and submitted to the DFA office he was given a certain date to pick it up.he thought that everything was alright as expected but he was wrong.he was summoned by another officer next to the one who approved the documents and started asking for other documents which are difinitely unnecessary for the processing!since i know that it was approved by the other officer i am so disgusted to think that the other officer wants one and only ONE THING! money,money, lagay,lagay, lagay.kailan mai-exterminate ang mga anay na ito………
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
sir tanong ko lang po may mga agency po ba nag lalakad ng passport at ano po ang accredited ng DFA kc ngayon lang po kukuha ng passport
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:08 am
May mga agencies na nag pa process passport. Usually they charge around 1500 for a 15 day processing. I cannot attest for any agency pero usually meron mga agency sa mga malls especially SM. I believe more likely ay accredited ang mga ito ng DFA.
BTW, I am a female, so no need to call me “sir”.
May 10th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Madame,
kung sa dfa ako mag apply mga ilang arw po ba ang pinakamabilis na proseso?
May 14th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Can you send me an email on how I could avail of getting a passport online?If necessary please provide more information through email.Thanks!
May 14th, 2008 at 10:36 am
To Wenn,
As far as I know it is 15 days, just the same when you apply for a passport through agencies. Wala na overnight processing ngayon because the DFA is now stricter (fake passports you know).
Len,

Please read this article and all the comments thoroughly before asking questions. The info you are looking for may already be in here. Links are also posted here for more information on passport renewal and application.

Good day..maam.. ask lng po ako kung paanu ko malalaman ang schedule ng mga mobile passporting d2 sa bacolod…that would b a great help…thanks!
May 21st, 2008 at 9:43 am
Hi Gil,
Sorry but I do not know the schedule of mobile passporting in Bacolod. I believe you refer to those “programs” where DFA people goes to your province to issue passport. I suggest you contact DFA https://mail.dfa.gov.ph/
May 23rd, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I wonder why in Iloilo DFA they are sending the passport to Manila for the renewal, why dont they advice to go for online application, all the reasons, Malfunction of their machine readable. they are all inutile people.
To my concern, why this Passport agency become more slower toproces for its a machine readable compare to the writnng system.
If today they can make it by 14 days, how much more delays to have in by year 2010, since we are the only country doesnt comply the machine readable passport, the always reason, we dont have enough machine or the people itself int the Philippine Passport Office has the tatak utak pinoy talangka.
June 7th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
to ms. rhodilee,
juz wanna say than’x!!!
you’ve almost provide all the info.
than’x alot!
June 8th, 2008 at 2:44 am
Jolaz,
ang alam ko talaga lahat na ng dfa agencies ngayon sa Manila na pina process ang passport. Parang na i centralize na ata sa Manila ang pag gawa which explains bakit wala na one day processing ngayon. Ang alam ko part din ito ng effort ng government to combat fake passports.
Rakel,
Nakakataba naman yan ng puso
salamat.
June 8th, 2008 at 10:50 am
hi rhodilee..
ur welcome!
juz wanna ask,
can i avail a rush 3days/7days passport online?
if yes, how?
i’m runnin’ out of time..
can’t wait for 14 days..
than’x!
June 8th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Rakel,
It will NOT be possible to get a passport in 7 days Rakel. Minimum is now 15 days. I am not sure if this has also changed to 25 days (one travel agent just told me a week ago it is now 25 days).
June 8th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
huhu..
imposible n nga tlgang mksma ako s mom ko..
kc 2mwg n din ako s dfa eh!

kso ayoko muna mnwla kya ask kta..
kc ms my twla ko s info mo..
by the way, than’x ulit!
June 9th, 2008 at 4:00 am
Naku, pag me nakita kang site na less than 25 days wag ka maniwala don. As I have mentioned, CENTRALIZED na ang pag gawa ng passport.
Update: Processing time of Passport application/renewal and other matters discussed in this article may change and may depend on the DFA. My answers here depend on what I know. Please verify all information with the DFA.
June 9th, 2008 at 4:08 am
@ Jolaz’ comment (pahabol) “I wonder why in Iloilo DFA they are sending the passport to Manila for the renewal, why dont they advice to go for online application”:
Honestly, I believe some DFA people may not even know online application/renewal of passport already exists. Isa pa, marami pa rin internet illiterate sa Pilipinas including those who have already gone abroad kaya siguro ina assume din ng mga dfa people that Filipinos will still prefer “lakad dito pila doon” passport application.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:53 am
The spelling of my surname in my Birth certificate is wrong. can i used an affidavit of discrepancy to apply a passport?
June 23rd, 2008 at 6:21 am
Angela,
Please do inquire at the DFA about this
June 24th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
mam sa ACCE TRAVEL AND TOURS PO kasi ako nagpapatulong mag paprocess nang passport ung malapit sa inyo..accridited ba yan sa DFA mam?
June 25th, 2008 at 6:59 am
Grets please see the post “Apply for New Philippine Passport Online”, I answered your questions there and just a note, I am not working for DFA
June 25th, 2008 at 7:01 am
How can I spot a fake passport from the philippines? I have someone interested in rooming for 3 months but it’s awfully suspicious. thanks
June 25th, 2008 at 8:08 am
PillyWiggins,
The new passports from the Philippines, are “machine-readable passports which use biometrics or special electronic information chips imbedded with security images on the laminated data page.”
Fake passports do not have these features. Some fake passports, however, appear really authentic because they have really been issued by the DFA but the data has been changed. Using passport reading machines seems to be the best way to identify fake passports.

June 25th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Is the identification of the person, ie birthdate, name written in the persons handwriting?
June 25th, 2008 at 11:20 am
MAM…HELLO…GOOD MORNING….IF I APPLY PASSPORT THROUGH AGENCY HOW LONG I CAN TAKE?AND HOW MUCH IT COST ALL..THANKS

MAM….can u pls give me a list who are agency are accredited to DFA?At least 10name agencies that in common…thanks i need your answer as soon as possible mam…take care mam rhodilee…..
July 2nd, 2008 at 6:10 pm
hi miss Rhodilee,
I actually read all the comments here before asking you some questions.
“Naku, pag me nakita kang site na less than 25 days wag ka maniwala don. As I have mentioned, CENTRALIZED na ang pag gawa ng passport.” this was posted last june 9.
I am a bit confused here, I browsed DFA’s website (www.dfa.gov.ph), and going through processing fees it seems like theres a 7 days expedite processing which costs 750 php.
I am not sure which is the latest update with regards to processing time. I hope you can help me with this matter. thanks a lot!
July 2nd, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Hi Ms. Rodilee,
Just wanna aski what are the requirements for new passport applicant!? and pls give me an example of agencies that are processing passports.
Thank you very much I hope you can help me with this. God bless you!!
July 2nd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
For Ms. Angela!
Hi Mam, we have the same problem before. I advise you to inquire n your City Civil Registry & ask for correction of name. It would take 45 days for you to get the Authenticated Birth certificate from NSO, or you may call the NSO hotline.
Godbless!
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:03 am
@ Grets: My answer to your question is posted here http://cantalktech.com/2008/03/30/apply-for-new-philippine-passport-online/
to Kat,
Updated August 5, 2008: (This, given on the premise that I made the comment at the time somebody told me the processing time from DFA is 25 days the fastest, please check comments above from Rakel)
I am referring to sites not affiliated with DFA and offer less than 25 days paid passport processing.
As for the 7 day passport processing direct from DFA, baka meron nang update.DFA announcement yan, siempre, mas updated yan
Can you provide the direct link ng update? Di ko kasi makita ang 7 days expedited processing sa DFA site.
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:12 am
Thanks for the reply Ms Rhodilee,
Here,s the link that saying there’s 7 days expedited processing: http://www.dfa.gov.ph/consular/fees.htm
By the way, are you aware of courtesy lane for government officials? My dad, who happensto be a govt official will be applying for his passport this week and I wanna know if it is faster compared to this expedite process. He kinda need his passport in a rush.
I would appreciate any reply from anyone. thanks!
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:17 am
pillywiggins,
I will try to post an image of a machine readable passport here soon so you can do some comparisons.Credible identifications however, are NOT handwritten.
Honey Lyn,
Here are the most important requirements passport Philippines:
Birth Certificate (BC) in Security Paper (SECPA) issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO)
3 photos of the applicant taken against a royal blue background
Proof of identity / Supporting documents indicating full name, date and place of birth and citizenship (IDs, transcript of record, baptismal certificate, etc).
If applicable;
Marriage Contract (MC) in Security Paper issued by NSO
Death Certificate of the deceased husband (widowed wives)
Please read this for more of the Passport requirements: http://www.dfa.gov.ph/consular/passport-eng.htm
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:24 am
Hi Kat,
thanks for the link. I am not sure if there is some sort of courtesy lane for government officials. If the travel is related to your dad’s function as a government official though, your networks at the DFA or related agencies may help expedite the processing.
I suggest you verify with DFA nalang if the 7 days application is indeed doable. I hope you can also update us with the details.
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 am
good morning! ma’am i went to a photo studio to have my picture taken so i could renew my passpost, but the people at the studio said, ‘its useless to have your picture taken ’cause the DFA have their own cameraman, i ask them ‘how about the mobile team?’ they also answered that they have also bring cameraman with them’. Is this true ma’am? I wish that my picture taken at the studio so as to have a picture that i will look nice not haggard when you go to the DFA office very early in the morning! please i would like have an enlightenment about these matter!
thanks
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:38 am
the studio have all the right specific background color required by the DFA!
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:44 am
It will be better if you have your photo taken by the studio near or endorsed by the DFA. Many studio pics do not comply with DFA photo requirements.
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:22 am
The studio may comply to all DFA photo requirements but it is still up to the DFA to approve the photo or not. You can have your photo taken at the studio but make sure to bring extra money for a new set of photo in case it won’t get the nod from the DFA people.
July 8th, 2008 at 11:47 am
hi miss rhodilee..i wanted to try the online passport application, i am an RN(my prc card is not yet released)..my problem is i dont have any digitized ID to send them..my driver’s license is still not in a card form..would they consider my license which is still in a paper form?how many digitized ID’s do they need?how many supporting documents? hope you could help me..thanks po
July 8th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
hi there anyone can help me. My passport will expire this year in the month of August but I never used it for 5 years since I applied for it. Now, I am planning to go abroad but my passport carries the wrong spelling of middle instead of ‘a’ it was mispelled to ‘e’. How can I change it? and what are the requirements to be submitted so that I can correct and apply for renewal. Or what shall I do?
July 8th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Good day to you!!!
I’m planning to get a foreign visa and i just wanna know if i need to renew/change my old green passport to the new brown passport or can i still use it? Can i renew it eventhough the expiration is 2011?
Tnx.
July 9th, 2008 at 6:38 am
BJ please read the post above and go to the link mentioned. If you are doubtful the courier will accept those “minor” documents, I suggest you apply via an agency or the DFA instead.
Cheeking, make the DFA know about the correction, they can give the advice.
Seneth, if your passport expires on 2011 then I believe you can still use it. Just inquire from the DFA if you want to renew your passport at a much earlier date.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:23 am
pag pumunta ba ako sa DFA directly, do you think they’d accept my requirements?i heard kasi ung sa online lang daw strict..
July 9th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Usually as long as meron ka nso released birth certificate okay ka na sa dfa just bring your transcript of records in case
July 11th, 2008 at 8:02 am
ok po..thanks a lot..
July 12th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
ok. gusto kc namin ng friend ko mag-apply ng passport.. first time namin to, then nabasa ko po yung ni-rerefer nyong online application. ask ko lang po if ok po ba tlga dun? kc bigla kaming nag-dalawang isip nung nabasa namin yung nakasulat na “Approval for passports applied online is not guaranteed as this still depends on the discretion of the DFA.”
bago lang po ba sila or naka-ilang years narin?
and P1,300 lang po ba tlga magagastos namin all in all or may ibang expenses pa po? thanks po. i hope matulungan nyo po kami at ma-advice-san.. thanks. =)
July 12th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Hindi lahat ng passport application ay maa aprub regardless online ka mag apply o pipila ka sa DFA. I think no worries naman kung ma comply mo naman ang requirements. I read some forum and it seems passport.com.ph is okay naman here it is for reference http://www.tipidpc.com/viewtopic.php?tid=151442 but if you are doubtful, you can just have your passport processed sa agency or direct sa dfa.
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:56 am
i want to renew my passport,but im using the lastname of my husband and his a forienger,do i need to go first in CFO to get the certificate or i can renew it by using the lastname of my husband without it
July 23rd, 2008 at 12:01 pm
i am a new passport applicant but in my BC its was filed as late registration,now the travel agency was asking for documents like baptismal and voters affidavit, i have my baptismal but am not a registered voter evne if im passed 18 years old, is baptismal certificate enough?
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Margie,
Please inquire from any travel agency or DFA they might help you with your concern.
Trina,
You might check out the list of other supporting documents needed by the DFA http://cantalktech.com/2008/03/30/apply-for-new-philippine-passport-online/ in place of a voter’s id.

God bless!
July 30th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Hi Rhodilee!
It’s fascinating that you can answer their questions even if you dont work for DFA Ü Anyway, I was browsing the questions above because I don’t want to post the same question but I believe you did not answer Seneth’s query:
“I’m planning to get a foreign visa and i just wanna know if i need to renew/change my old green passport to the new brown passport or can i still use it? Can i renew it eventhough the expiration is 2011?”
I have the same question kasi hehehe and it’s coincidental naman that we both have the same expiration year. I hope you could help! Thanks!
July 30th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Juliy,
Please check this link http://www.dfa.gov.ph/consular/passport-eng.htm
Reche,
I think you can renew your passport without having to go home here in the Philippines. Please check this site http://www.philippineembassy.ca/index_files/Page1635.htm
Icabebe,
I haven’t applied for any foreign visa yet so I am not sure about the requirements. Nevertheless, if your concern is that your green passport may not be accepted, green passports are still considered valid until their expiry date. I believe you can renew your passport earlier but better contact DFA about this. You may also read these posts http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/news/view/20080719-149363/RPs-E-passports-best-you-can-have-out-Oct and http://www.babalikkarin.com/details.asp?ID=1172.

August 2nd, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Juliy,
Did you check the link that I gave earlier in mY previous comment? Please note that personal appearance of either parent is required kahit online ka nag apply ng passport. The requirements will be shown to the DFA so better check out with DFA kung ano talaga requirements.
August 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pm
hello! my mom is planning to get a passport but she does not have any valid IDs.. she only have postal ID.. Can anyone help me please.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:03 am
Postal ID is a valid ID. It would be better though if your mother prepares an NBI clearance and baptismal certificate. They are the easiest document to get.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:18 am
hi Rhodilee!!i want to apply for my children’s passport, but im working abroad..If iwill apply for them online instead, would DFA require personal appearance?their ages are 9 and 5..children below seven years of age are exempted right?but i just wonder wether I still have to appear personally..Hope you can help me..thank you…
August 6th, 2008 at 10:52 am
gd am madam. i want to renew my passport but expired already my problem is may correction sa middle name at di ko napacorrect agad kasi paalis na ako at that time at agency ang nagprocess and one thing more nagamit ko na travelling outside the country at na renew ko na rin sa country where i work before kasi naabutan doon ng expiration date. so when i came home inayos ko na ung entries sa birth certificate ko. how will i go about it? thanks
August 7th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Dhel,
You better ask for the advice of DFA regarding your problem.
Ava,
For legitimate minors below 18 years old, either the father or the mother will appear at the DFA or check this link if both you and your husband are abroad http://www.dfa.gov.ph/consular/passport-eng.htm
August 9th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Good news! DFA/ passport.com.ph now accepts New applications for passports! For only P1,300 get your passport without the hassle of going to DFA and waiting in long lines! Don’t waste money going back and fort to agencies offering the same service when you can apply within the comfort of your home! =)
August 11th, 2008 at 11:02 pm

do we have to change green passport to brown one?
August 17th, 2008 at 12:03 am
Ma’am, I’m in the US right now and planning to let my family join me here. My two kids who are still minors need to secure their passport. I have someone inquired from DFA (Cebu) the requirements one of which is my affidavit of consent allowing my husband to secure their passport. They said I will have the US embassy sign the said affidavit. This becomes a concern right now cause the closest US embassy is two-hour drive from my place and I can’t possibly take a leave of absence from my work. Is there any other option that you can suggest?

thank u so much and god bless.

hello po may question po ako about changing passport kasi i just got married and my latest passport is going to expire on 2011 pa.pwde po ba yun? i want to change it kasi dalhin ko na po surname ng husband ko.
hope you can give me an answer soon! thanks
August 31st, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Yeah pwede yun, just submit your MC in Secpa paper & Old Passport.
By the way I have problem too… I hope someone could help me
Does DFA still amending the MR Passport & when we say amendment does it include correction of entries or wrong spelling?
I have this problem, I’m married and I have renewed my Passport, It’s like this, my husband is a german then as we all know we don’t have some of the german letter her like “ü”, “ö” does with two points above the letter “U & O”, when we got married the surname we have put is like this LUTER (Lueter) since we dont recognize those letter we have just put the equivalen. now when I have applied for the renewal they have followed the 1st word, now my problem is the Embassy have accepted my application but they want me to change the surname in my passport, now I’m worried that DFA won’t allow me, what do u think guys, please help me I’m going there on tuesday, Thank any answer or Idea will be a big help. thank you

good afternoon. kumuha po ako ng passport yesterday. pero hindi po sa mismong dfa office, sa ‘dfa accredited’ office po. i just want to know if meron talagang agencies/offices na accredited ng dfa to release a passport?!
September 14th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Emily Rose,
DFA accredited agencies will merely assist you in your passport processing, they will not “make” the passports for you. yOU STILL need to go to the DFA for personal appearance.

I had myself deported from Saudi last year. My passport was left with my employer, it will expire on 2010. Can my passport be renewed or should i wait until 2011 and apply for a new passport. I really don’t know what to do, please help me.
October 1st, 2008 at 5:21 am
David,
I am sorry but the best agency to accommodate you is the DFA and I am not affiliated with them.
Gilbert,
Since yours is a special case, better ask the DFA about it. I am sure that they have a solution to your problem. If you badly need to get a passport before 2011, then you have to tell DFA about what happened.
October 5th, 2008 at 7:21 am
Hi rhodilee,
Thanks so much for the infos you have provided. I just want to ask, If I renew my passport, will the Old passport number change? I have a ticket reserved Oct 25, My passport will expire next year. If i renew my passport on fri (Oct 10), Do you think I would be able to get my passport before I leave? Im really not confident on the 7 days processing that they posted on the website specially after reading some of the posts here that even took almost a month for a renewal.. Please advise. Much appreciated.

November 20th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Lemuel, the DFA prefers good quality matte paper. Read this for more information on photo requirements for machine readable passport: http://dfa.gov.ph/consular/PHOTO%20GUIDELINES.pdf
November 27th, 2008 at 2:50 am
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?
November 27th, 2008 at 2:56 am
The photos must be attached to the passport application form

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?
December 11th, 2008 at 11:17 am

January 28th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
What about applying on line?
January 31st, 2009 at 2:15 pm
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?
January 31st, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Hi again Ms. Rhodilee. Some agencies who process passport application ask for a fee of Php 2,000. Is this the current charge nowadays?
January 31st, 2009 at 11:43 pm

February 4th, 2009 at 7:52 am
hi,
id like to bring my parents abroad but im confused abt the PP requirements since they wer born before 1950 and as a result of their negative birth record from NSO, will that be enough requirement to obtain PP? of course some other supporting documents needed but im really confused on this one. Pls help !!!
February 6th, 2009 at 2:20 am
Good day, i have the same concern with that of Jemirah (jan. 15) and Liza (jan 1). and i was not able to find the answer in the posted comment. so i would like to reiterate their questions.
1) am i required to renew my old green passport even if it does not yet expire? specially that i will be traveling to the states this year and my passport will expire a couple of years pa.
2) until when will be the validity of my green passport?
3) what will happen to my visa in my green passport?
February 6th, 2009 at 11:46 am
ask ko lang kung paano gagawin pag may correction sa place of birth sa passport. ano mga requirements?
February 6th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
nawala yoing passport claim stub ko..paano ko makukuha yong passport ko?
February 7th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Hi,
I have a scheduled flight to Indonesia on March 9, 2009. Until now, I haven’t applied yet for a passport. I’m having problems completing the requirements, especially presenting 2 digitized government ID. I only have a Voter’s ID, forget SSS coz it’s really impossible to ghet one right now, I applied for a BIR TIN ID, however, it will be released on March 2. I already have a new NSO issued BC, newly renewed NBI clearance, Baptismal cert. What can I do to get a passport before March 9, 2009? Please help me…
February 7th, 2009 at 11:40 am
Faye,
The processing fee may depend on the agency. We paid 1500 to our agency while another agency charged my friend 3,000. I only submitted my NSO marriage certificate, I was not required to submit other marriage certificate copies.
Shula,
I guess, yes. I think pede mo gamitin ang maiden name mo kasi sa requirements naman ng DFA ang sabi “For married women, who want to use surname of their spouse…..” so merong option.
Maryse,
Those with negative birth records are usually advised to get a copy of their birth certificate from the local registrar where they were born. This will be forwarded to the NSO. In the case of your parents though who were born before 1950 better check with the DFA or the NSO.
John and Liza
According to the website philippine-embassy.org.sg
Green passports will remain valid and will be honored by immigration authorities worldwide until their stated expiry date
BUT
the Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Domingo Lucenario encouraged all Filipinos with valid green passports to apply for machine-readable passports particularly because some countries already have the prerogative not to accept the green passport
by 2010. globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view/20090205-187607/Green-passports-valid-until-expiration
I am not sure about the VISA, better ask the DFA about this.
Marla,
Please read http://philippinenomad.com/wrong-spelling-typo-in-philippine-birth-certificates/
Tul
Dala ka ng ID and tell DFA you lost your claim stub
Louie,
You need to go to the DFA or an agency ASAP if you need to get your passport by March 9. I guess the documents that you have will suffice
Note:
The info I posted here are based on news and some other info I gathered online. The DFA and the NSO are still in the best position to answer your queries.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:50 am
Thanks for replying Rhodilee, I appreciate it…
But just a follow-up, is it OK just to present one (1) Digitized government issued ID? That’s what I wanted to be sure of… Aside from the documents I mentioned (NSO Birth Cert., NBI Clearance for Travel, Baptismal Cert., ITR and the Voters ID) is there anythin’ else I need?
February 10th, 2009 at 8:58 am
LOUIE,
I did not have any digitized ID when I applied for a passport. Honestly, the reason I applied for a passport is to have a government ID hehehehe go ahead with your 1 id LOUIE, if the DFA does not accept that ask them the requirements and tell them it is impossible to get other goverment and digitized IDs these days. They know it is a fact hehehhehe

hi,kung sa lucena mag apply ng passport nanay ko,anong kind ng aplication form ang gagamitin?hindi readable machine???
February 10th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
I want to ask only if is true ,i read at the other forum they said that before jan.2010 ,the green passport need to change to brown now? but how ? my green passport will be expired on year 2012?
February 11th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Loida,
the same lang ang application form na ginagamit saan mang parte ng Pilipinas and if you apply for a passport now, you will be given the brown Machine Readable Passport (MRP)
Reiz,
please read the other comments above.
DFA advises green passport holders to get a brown passport before 2010 because some countries by that time may no longer accept green passports in their borders.
Your green passport is valid until 2012 but if you do not want to get into trouble with countries that may no longer honor your green passport by 2010, renew your passport ASAP.
To all, please read the comments above before posting (and reasking) questions.

Hi Miss Rhodillee evening? ask ko lang is there a way i can follow-up sa DFA kung ano na lagay ng application ko for the new MRP, without going through the agency that i paid for my passport application? It’s taking them too long kasi to give me apperance schedule. I’m having secong though kasi na i should have applied online na lang at-least may scheduled and pick-up and appearance automatically. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

hi.. ask ko lng po kung paano po ipa rush ang pasport na on process na.. kc po kylangan na pong makuha agad ung pasport ko nung company.. is there any way?
February 12th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Thanks Miss Rhodillee…sana walang maging problema ang nanay ko!!God bless!!

HI Mam Rhodillee,
Ask ko lang po kung dfa accredited agency po ba talaga ang GOLDEN FEATHER TRAVEL AND TOURS (2454 3/F SUMMERLIN BLDG., VALHALLA ST., PASAY CITY) ARMANDO S. PINEDA-PROP. Hiningan po kami ng 1,800 na fee. Tama po ba yon?
February 15th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Sunny,
I wonder bakit ang tagal ka namang bigyan ng appearance schedule ng agency mo sa DFA. In my case kasi, I was given my schedule as soon as I sought the help of my agency. I think you better find a better agency, if they are already messing up with the schedule it’s not unlikely they will mess up in other passport related stuff too.
Jim,
I guess available na ata uli ang 10 day processing.
Leonila,
lost passport Philippines requirements:
1. Personal Appearance
2. Duly-accomplished MRP application form.
3. Affidavit of Loss stating the circumstances of the passport’s loss
4. Police report if passport was lost due to robbery/theft or other similar incidents.
5. Three (3) identical passport sized picture (1.77”x1.37”) colored pictures with royal blue background
6. NSO authenticated Birth Certificate
7. Available photo identification Cards
8. applicable fees
Please read this for more info on lost passport http://www.philippineconsulatela.org/Machine%20Readable%20Passport.htm
Rea,
I think 1800 passport processing fee is reasonable but I cannot vouch whether your agency is accredited by the DFA or not
February 15th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Sunny,
I think DFA only processes your passport when you have already made a personal appearance so this means you cannot follow up your passport yet sa DFA kung hindi ka pa nakapag personal appearance. Follow up your agency. If they can’t give you a schedule yet, kunin mo na pera mo and look for other means to apply for a passport.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
hi mam! dito po kami sa spain.. medyo confused lang po kami.. kasi, madami nagsasabi na kelngan daw pong i renew lahat ng passport kahit hindi pa expired.. para daw po mapalitan ng brown passport.. totoo po ba yun? thanks in advance..

MA’AM RHOD,
Would it be possible to use my single name sa passport ko even if my nbi clearance is in my married name na? if not would i possibly apply for 2nd nbi clearance as single? kasi mas madali maka apply ng work abroad as single eh. Thanks po for any info. Godbless

hi, nag apply po kami ng passport for my son through agency kasi we want to process it fas ang mahal nga po ng
nabayaran namin, they charge us 7,ooo pesos pero ok lang sana kung may nagyari but sad to say until now wala paring passport ang anak ko
we went to Davao DFA last year kasi kailngan daw na may appearance then we went there so sabi noong fixer namin which is
kilalang-kilala rin po doon sa loob ng office ng DFA. Sabi po nya after 15 days daw ipapadala sa amin ang passport pero till now
wala po kaming natanggap. tinatawagan po namin ang tao pero di napo namin sya macontact. please paano po ba namin ma
follow up ang application namin doon. is there any website to check if the passport is already done?
March 8th, 2009 at 5:31 am
Shine,
Check mo uli ang NBI clearance mo, remember ko kasi when I applied for an NBI married nako, single name ang nandon. i’m not sure kung maka apply ka ng nbi as single kasi nakakuha ka na ng married Nbi clearance diba? Better call NBI and ask na lang para sure.
Mary,
If you have 2 months here sa pinas, I think enough na yan to renew your passport. Just make sure to apply as soon as you arrive. 14 days lang naman ang philippine passport processing.
dean,
pede na siguro yang requirements mo, bibigyan ka naman ng advice ng DFA in case they need supplementary documents at depende yan sa kanila…
Esther,
passport pircture background: royal blue…
Laila,
7thousand? Grabe naman ang mahal naman nian. Mas mabuti pa punta ka uli ng DFA Davao and ask help from there tutal naka personal appearance naman diba? So likely ay na process ang passport ninyo…

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

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.
