Passport Renewal

What you need to do and to bring...

First, you have to set an Appointment through DFA website.  Children aged 7 years old and below, pregnant woman, solo parent and persons with disabilities don't need to go through this step and may avail the priority lane.

Second, bring the  necessary documents needed for your renewal of passport.  For me,  aside from renewing my passport I also took this chance to change my civil status from single to married.  So aside from preparing a copy of my passport (1st and last page) , a copy of my 2 valid IDs and a duly accomplished application form which I printed on a A4 size bondpaper, I also secure a NSO copy of my marriage certificate.  Well here is a link of all the requirements needed and also be reminded to bring all original documents.  Click here.


On the day of your appointment, go to DFA Regional Consular Office located at third floor Centrio Mall cor Corrales and Recto St Cagayan de Oro City.

Give your duly accomplished application form to the guard and wait for your name to be called at the processing area.  Here they will evaluate your documents or requirements.

Processing

After submitting your requirements, wait for your name to be called at the Cashier.  Well, applicants are given two options regarding the processing of their passport.  If you wish to get your passport within 15 working days, you have to pay the amount of Php 1,200.00 and Php 950.00 for 25 working days.

After paying, your next and last step will be at the encoding area.  Here your information, picture, signature specimen and biometric are registered into the system.
