Tips on DFA Passport Renewal and Application

Philippine Passport

In the old version of this post, I talked about the old process of applying for passport at the Consular Affairs Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). In the old system, passport applicants just walk in the Consular Affairs Office to apply for passport. In the new system, passport applicants need to make an appointment with the Consular Affairs Office before actually going there.

Applying for a passport at the Consular Affairs Office is still quick and easy, as long as you follow the DFA’s application procedures and you are not absentminded. If you need information on how to go to Consular Affairs Office, read my post, How to Go to DFA Office.

Tip # 1: Set an Appointment First

The DFA changed the old system and now requires passport applicants to set an appointment with the Consular Affairs Office first before going to their office. For those who don't know, the Consular Affairs Office transferred their office from the DFA main office in Pasay City to Aseana Business Park in Paranaque City.

The first that you should do is to set up an appointment by filling up the appointment application form in the DFA website. Please read my post, How to Make an Appointment for Philippine Passport Application, for the step-by-step procedure in setting up an appointment with DFA.

Tip # 2: Do visit the DFA Website

The DFA website contains the step by step procedure that you must follow when applying for a passport. For the appointment system, visit the DFA Passport Appointment System website. For the requirements for first time passport applicants, visit DFA’s First Time Applicant page. If you are renewing your passport, visit DFA’s Requirements for Renewal of Passport Page.

For a list of valid IDs, read my post about the list of IDs that are accepted by DFA for passport application.

Just visit DFA’s website and the basic information that you will need for your passport application or renewal is there.

Tip # 3: Beware of Fixers


Even if DFA improved the passport application system, there will always be people who will take advantage of passport applicants. You must avoid these fixers because you do not need them, unless you are planning to submit falsified documents.

Never believe anyone outside DFA and always ignore any fixers. They have many tricks and modus operandi. It is better to ask the guard for information. If the guard pointed you to the fixers, then you can always have him fired by telling the DFA management of his activities with the fixers.

Tip # 4: Bring Enough Money

It is good to make sure that you always have spare money whenever you go to any place. Bringing extra money will make sure that you will never need to go home if the money in your wallet is not enough when applying for the passport.


Tip # 5: Don’t Submit Fake Documents


I have seen one applicant who is submitting a marriage certificate for her passport application. The employee of DFA inspected the document and immediately confiscated it. She said that the marriage certificate that she is submitting is a fake. She threatened that the applicant may be penalized because she is falsifying documents.


It is better not to submit fake documents or else you will be penalized or even be blacklisted by DFA. If you are keen in submitting fake documents, then you must ensure that your fake documents 99.9% resembles the authentic documents.


Tip # 6: Never Be Afraid to Ask Questions


I suggest that you ask questions if you are lost or confused with any of the application procedures. However, you should not just ask anyone. The people that I usually ask for directions and clarifications are the guards inside the DFA. They are more credible because they are easy to recognize and it is hard to impersonate a security guard inside the premises of DFA. Fixers can trick you with fake DFA employee IDs but they can’t wear a guard’s uniform. If the guard does not know the answer to your question, then he will refer you to a legitimate DFA employee. There are also information booths inside DFA that are manned by DFA employees who know the application procedures.

Tip # 7: Call the DFA if You Have Questions

DFA set-up a hotline for passport related inquiries. If something is bothering you about your passport or your passport application, then I suggest that you call Consular Information at telephone number (632) 556-0000. You can only contact them from 8 AM to 4 PM, Monday to Friday.

These are some of the many tips when applying for a passport in the Philippines. Be alert and always be on a look-out of possible tricks from fixers. Follow these tips and your passport application will flow smoothly.

  3. Hi if both my parents are gov't employees, can I just bring their gov't ids plus my birth cert or letter saying I am their legitimate daughter to avail of the courtesy lane? Both my parents are currently out of town and I need to renew my old green passport because it got wet and I have a flight next week so I need to avail of the courtesy lane..help.

    Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Happy Sunday Kimberly.

    Sorry for my very late reply.

    I do not know the actual procedure in using the courtesy lane if you are a child of government employees.

    For your situation, I believe that bringing an authorization letter from them will be helpful. Bringing their government Id's will help in proving that your parents are indeed government employees.

    The best evidence that you could use as a proof that you are their daughter is your birth certificate because it contains the name of your parents.

    So in your case, I think you should bring their government ID, an authorization letter, and your birth certificate.

    Hope this helps.

  5. hello,

    i have several questions regarding the application of Phil passport.

    this coming wednesday (july 14, 2010) i have an appoint with the DFA for the new passport application.

    as stated on their website, valid IDs are needed and the only ID i have at present is the postal ID, BIR TIN ID, philhealth, driver's student permit from LTO and my school ID (but i already graduated last year, though i have my OTR,) and aside from these IDs i have supporting document available such as the NBI clearance.

    do you think they are going to process my application?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hello Chloe,

    I think they will process your application. You already have plenty of government issued IDs and all government issued IDs are valid IDs. When I applied for a passport, I brought my government employee ID and my PRC ID.

    I guess, you could use any of the IDs that you have. Just don't use your school ID because it is already expired. BIR TIN ID, Philhealth, LTO, and Postal ID would be fine. For safety's sake, I think you should bring all of those IDs.

    Just do not forget all the other requirements. And never be tricked by fixers.

    God bless your application.

  7. Hi,
    i just want to ask if dfa would allow me to go out of the country with my green passport that got wet but all the details are still clear. But i'm having doubts about my picture, my face is still clear and visible including my ears only little parts in the left side of the hair down to the clothes are somewhat blurry. will the immigration question me? my flight will be two weeks from now. please reply to me asap. thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hi Anon,

    I haven't encounter such situation wherein the passport got wet.

    If the picture is still clear, like what you said, then I believe that it is still OK and the DFA will still allow you to go out of the country.

    But like what I just said, I haven't encountered such situation so I am not that sure. I think you should contact the DFA to clarify your dilemma.

  9. I just want to ask if TIN ID and driver's license is enough for the valid id's that they need & nbi clearance & birth cert as supporting docs???Is my passport will be process??

    Hpoe you help me...

    ReplyDelete
  10. Hello Nancy,

    TIN ID and Driver's License are both issued by the government so I believe that those two IDs are valid and will be accepted by the DFA.

    If you have NBI clearance and Birth Certificate, then I suggest that you also bring them. There is no harm bringing them to the DFA, right?

    For more questions, I suggest that you call DFA hotline at telephone number (632) 556-0000.

  11. Hi!

    I've read you blog and really helpful! Just had my passport application processed. Although, my question is with my friend who didn't got her passport application approved and worse the birth certificate she had was said to be tampered thus it was confiscated. Can she still apply for a new passport after she corrects her birth certificate which she said she didn't know was tampered since it was her aunt who requested the copies to nso. Is it still possible for her to get a passport once she corrects her documents? Hope you would be able to help her. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Good day Anon

    First of all, your friend should ask her aunt where she got the birth certificate. Did she got it from the NSO office. If the aunt followed the correct process of obtaining the birth certificate, then the aunt is not at fault.

    Since the birth certificate was confiscated, your friend has no other choice but to get another birth certificate from the NSO.

    What did the DFA clerk said when your friend's birth certificate was confiscated? Did she told her that she can't apply for a passport anymore?

    I think that your friend can still apply for a passport. In the event that I posted about, the lady's marriage certificate was confiscated and she was told to get the true marriage certificate before she can apply for a passport. This means that the old lady can still apply and her name was not blacklisted.

    Hope your friend get her problem solved. God bless you.

  13. Hi again!

    Thank you so much for your response.

    The DFA advised her that until she stops submitting tampered/fake documents she will not get a passport and was threatened that the next time she submits a tampered document she'll be sued. Well I guess my friend is at fault somehow coz she had her auntie get her birth certificate which has errors in the spelling of her name corrected. I guess her auntie used a fixer for the birth certificate.

    Now, she's going through the whole process of correcting the spelling of her name the legal way. But after correcting her birth certificate, she would still be able to apply for a passport right? We're worried coz we're suppose to go to a training together.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Welcome back Anon

    Oh! So the problem is that the name that she is currently using is different from the name written on her birth certificate. That is indeed a big problem and she really need to fix it the legal way. That is the only way to fix it.

    I believe that your friend was just given a warning. That is based on what the DFA told your friend. If the next time she submits another tampered document then she may be blacklisted or face legal sanctions. I believe that your friend can still get her passport once her birth certificate is fixed.

    The next time that she returns to DFA, I suggest that aside from bringin her birth certificate, she should also bring supporting documents like the legal documents pertaining to the changing of her name on her birth certificate.

    God bless to your friend. Hope she get her passport on be with you in your training.

  15. hello po, ma'aam ask ko lang po kasi my birth certificate is having a trouble instead na female -male ang nakalagay dito, but eventually i need to apply a passport, i-allow po kaya nila na yung BC ko ay male ang gender.please po reply..thanks

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hello Dhee.

    Hindi tatanggapin ng DFA yung birth certificate mo na mali yung sex (gender) na nakasulat.

    Kung female ka, dapat female din ang nakalagay duon. Mas mabuti na kumuha ka ng kopya ng birth certificate mo sa National Statistics Office (NSO) at sabihin mo na may mali sa birth certificate mo.

    To request for your NSO birth certificate, please visit my article about Teleserv birth certificate delivery.

  20. Good morning Anonymous

    Here are the requirements for first time passport applicants:

    1. Duly accomplished application form.

    2. NSO birth certificate.

    3. Proof of identity / Supporting documents indicating full name, date and place of birth and citizenship.

    Kung mga IDs and TOR lang ang meron ka then hindi ka papayagan na makakuha ng passport. I suggest that you get all the requirements first then call the DFA Appointment Hotline (02) 737-1000 para makapagpa-schedule ka.

  24. Dear Ms. Deborde

    Ibig sabihin po n'yan ay conflict ang marriage contract ninyo sa birth certificate ninyo. I think na magiging problem ito kapag nag-apply kayo ng passport lalo na kung ang matapat na staff sa iyo ay yung mabusisi.

    Mas mabuti na ipaayos niyo muna yung iyong birth certificate or marriage contract para hindi na sila mag-conflict. Kung malinaw na clerical error ang nakalagay sa birth certificate ay madaling ipaayos yan sa NSO.

    Don't you have other IDs? If none then you need at least three supporting documents.

    You already have two, which are the voter's ID and the NBI clearance. You need another supporting document.

    You can check the list here: http://www.dfa.gov.ph/index.php/list-of-acceptable-ids

    Unfortunately, Employee ID is not accepted as valid ID when applying for a passport.

    Strikto talaga ang DFA.

    Ang maganda mong gawin ay bumalik ka sa NSO at sabihin mo sa kanila na bigyan ka ng malinaw na kopya ng iyong birth certificate. Ipaliwanag mo na ayaw tanggapin ng DFA yung birth certificate mo dahil malabo yung sa sex.

    Dapat nilang ayusin yan kasi sa NSO naman ang may mali.

    Ipakita mo sa NSO yung birth certificate mo from civil registrar bilang proof ng kasarian mo.

  31. Hi,

    I got my passport about a week ago. Due to the fact the DFA is having an issue in releasing passport on time and i badly need it for aus visa application, i asked assistance from someone who can expedite the release of my passport way ahead before the stamped release date on my receipt. I got so lucky to pick it up in dfa sm mla the same day i contacted the person but i'm worried with its authenticity. Is there a way for me to verify if the passport is authentic prior to my departure which is a week from now to avoid all the hassles? I tried calling the office of the consular affairs but all i get is an answering machine. Or if you may, have you ever heard if there's a fake machine readable passport?

    I hope to hear from you.

    Thanks...

    How much did you pay for your passport? I am not sure if what you're holding is real or not because I can't see it.

    You can verify it by going to DFA to have it checked.

    Is there a fake machine readable passport? The answer is yes and sometimes are caught when they are already at the airport. Be careful.

  33. I had my appearance in dfa and just contacted the person for early release. The picture taken during the data capture was the same picture when i got the passport. All details i provided in dfa during the application process were correct even have my signature printed on it. My only issue is the picture. It was so dark and it looks like there's no flash. I just cant remember kung wala nga tlagang flash when the picture was taken. As for how much I paid, its 5k.

    Ah. Looks like the passport that you got is legitimate based on your description of what happened.

    Is the photo too dark that your face is not recognizable? If not then I think your passport is OK.

  35. It's recognizable kaya lng mukha lng tlagang walang flash. The sun and the philippine seal printed on it medyo natakpan 1/4 ng mukha ko but looks ok kc transparent nmn.

    Is your ID a College ID? If it is then your passport can be processed. Just make sure that you have the other documents.

    Here are the other requirements that you must have:

    1. Confirmed appointment from DFA.
    2. Duly-accomplished application form.
    3. NSO issued birth certificate.
    4. ID.

    If you are below 18 years old, you also need to accompanied by your parents during the application.

    Good day! Sa mga inilista mong IDs and documents, sa tingin ko ang tatanggapin ng DFA ay:

    1. voter's id
    2. Barangay id
    3. NBI Clearance(Green 2013)
    4. Barangay Clearance

    Pakidala mo lang ang lahat nang iyan pagpunta mo sa DFA. Yung NSO Birth Certificate ay dapat mo ding dalhin pati yung appointment slip mula sa DFA.

    Huwag mo nang dalhin yung titulo ng lupa at baka mawala pa iyan pagpunta mo sa DFA. Wag mo na ring dalhin yung mga school ID mo.

  52. Hi! I saw this thread while I was browsing for some forums to help me on my problem with getting a passport. I am a minor and I have troubles getting a passport because my parents are not married. If I'm traveling with my mother only, required pa po ba ang marriage certificate? And one more thing po, yung name kasi ng mother ko sa birth certificate ko bears the surname of my father so I think it will be another conflict. What do you suggest po na gawin for this matter? Thank you.

    You are considered a illegitimate child since your parents are not married. This means that it is OK for you not to submit their marriage certificate.

    Tungkol naman dun sa birth certificate mo ay hindi ako sigurado kung ano ang gagawin ng clerk ng DFA. One possibility is baka hindi tanggapin yung birth certificate mo dahil mali yung pangalan ng nanay mo.

    Do you already have an appointment? Sa tingin ko subukan mo munang pumunta ng DFA. Kapag tinanggap yung birth certificate mo e di walang problema. If not then you have to go to NSO to fix the name of your mother.

    Kung gusto mong sigurado at hindi na pabalik-balik ay dumiretso ka na muna sa NSO para ipaayos yung pangalan ng nanay mo bago ka pumunta ng DFA.

    Naku. Hindi mo na maka-cancel 'yang appointment mo. Pwede ka lang mag-cancel ng appointment kapag 5 working days or earlier bago yung appointment mo.

    Christy

    Sa tingin ko niloloko ka lang ng fixer na 'yan at gusto lang n'yan na makakuha pa ng pera sa iyo. Alukin mo ng pera yan at malamang na ibigay sa iyo yung mga dokumento mo.

    Hindi totoo yung panakot niya na i-blacklist ka.

    Magandang gawin mo ay ipahuli mo yang fixer na 'yan.

    Kung yung pangnalan niya sa Birth Certificate ang gagamitin niya ay mas maganda na ang baguhin na lang ay yung nakalagay na pangalan sa ID niya. Mas madaling baguhin yun kaysa sa yung birth certificate ang baguhin.

    Posibleng magkaproblema nga siya with the DFA kasi pabago-bago ang pangala na gusto niyang gamitin.

    Sa tingin ko ay hindi naman malaking problema yu. Just bring prof na pinapaayos mo na sa NSO (resibo or document). Sabihin mo lang sa DFA yung problema kapag tinanong nila. Huwag mo na lang ipaalam sa kanila.

  149. Hi sir good pm, i went to dfa last month . Pero ndi ako nakakuha ng passport dahil fake daw ang dala kung corrected BC, nakuha ko po ang corrected of middle name na BC ko sa friend ko na may friend daw nag work sa NSO which i found out na fake pala. When i was there the lady check my paper at sinabi nya sakin "iba tong BC mo, tampering tong ginagawa niu pag malaman namin to ndi kna mabigyan ng passport, gusto mo ako mag verify sa NSO?" But she gave me the NSO number instead she wrote it in my dfa form and told me the date to call them. My question now is if i bring my original corrected BC sa dfa next time do you think mabigyan pa ako ng passport or nasa Blacklist na po ako? Thank u sir and pls help me .

  150. Do you have any idea what should I do to change my gender? I'm a female. but in my passport it's MALE. Do I need any documents for this? Do I still have to arrange an appointment

    All you need is your birth certificate from the NSO to prove your sex (or gender). Bring it to DFA and then ask for corrections to your passport.

    Hindi po tatanggapin yung non-digitized BIR ID. Baka yung old Vocational ID mo ang tanggapin pero hindi pa rin sigurado yun. Kumuha ka pa po ng iba pang valid ID.

    I suggest na ipa-correct mo muna yan sa NSO bago ka mag-apply ng passport.

    Sabi ng Post Office ay tinatanggap na ng DFA yung digitized Postal ID. Hindi ko nga lang sure kung totoo yun. Pwede mo sigurong subukan. Hindi ko rin alam kung pwede yung temporary driver's license. Ang hinihinig kasi ng DFA ay yung totoong Driver's License.
