5 Steps to Renew your Philippine Passport (2020 Update!)

Are you a Filipino citizen looking to apply for a new passport or to renew your expired Philippine passport? Just follow our simple 5-step guide so you can get your passport right away.

I remember, more than a decade ago, I was excited to apply to get my first-ever Philippine passport. I arrived at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Manila office at 6:00 AM, hoping to get my new passport as soon as the office opened at 8:00 AM.

Boy, was I wrong! The sun is not yet fully up — it’s just 6:00 am anyway — but hundreds of other applicants were already lined up ahead of me! I wonder what time they got there? 3:00 or 4:00 am perhaps?

Braving the heat and hunger, I had no choice but to queue and wait for my turn. Smartphones and music players were not yet a thing back then, so I had to entertain myself with a comic book.

After lining up and waiting for several hours, by 2:00 PM, I finally received my first Philippine passport! A product of my literal sweat from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM — this surely was quite an achievement!

These days, fortunately, passport application in the Philippines is much, much easier.

Thanks to the DFA’s Online Passport Appointment website, we no longer have to struggle for hours anymore. All we need is a valid online appointment and everything will just be a breeze.

If you’re wondering how you can apply to get a new passport or to renew your old Philippine passport, check out this 5-step guide below and you’re on your way to getting a new passport hassle-free.

How to renew passport in the Philippines

Step 1: Schedule a Passport Appointment Online

Gone are the days when we have to queue for hours to get a new passport. Currently, the DFA offers an online system which allows applicants to conveniently book an appointment at their preferred date. However, walk-ins are not allowed. (There are exceptions, though, and walk-in applications are allowed for some people. Find out who are exempted in the list down below.)

Where to book a passport appointment?

There are two ways to set a passport appointment — online and via telephone:

  1. Book an online appointment via the DFA Passport Online Appointment System
  2. Call the DFA Appointment Hotline at (02) 737-1000 anytime from Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm

Take note: there are only a few slots available per given schedule, which means there is no assurance that a slot will be available on your chosen appointment day.

The good news, though, is that the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) keeps on opening additional slots per month. If you are booking online, it sometimes helps to refresh and to reload the page to see if new slots during your preferred schedule have opened up. This happens because some applicants cancel their slots.

When I applied a year ago, I was disappointed that my preferred date has been filled up. While finalizing an alternative schedule, I decided to refresh the page and, to my surprise, my original preferred date showed an available slot. It looks like someone canceled his slot. I was able to book that schedule, and so the lesson here is that reloading the page might sometimes gives you a reward: an available slot on your preferred date.

According to the DFA, slots are made available from 12:00 noon to 9:00 p.m. from Mondays to Saturdays, except holidays. This likely means they are cleaning up the schedules or adding new slots. That could be a good time to check if there are available slots on your preferred date.

By the way, here’s one very important reminder from the DFA: online passport appointment is FREE.

Do not be fooled by people offering you help or assistance to book an appointment in exchange for a fee. The DFA is discouraging applicants from securing online appointment using fixers who will require payment from you.

How to book an online appointment with DFA?

Follow these simple steps to complete your online passport appointment with the DFA.

1. Visit www.passport.gov.ph and click the “Schedule an Appointment” link in the menu.

2. In the pop-up box that will appear, click the button “Start Appointment” to begin your application.

3. Read the “Terms and Conditions” and, if you agree, check the section “I have read and understood the instructions and information on this page, and agree to the Terms and Conditions on the use of this online appointment and scheduling system.”

4. Choose between “Start Individual Appointment” or “Start Group Appointment.” Individual appointment is for a single applicant while the group appointment is for a group of 2 to 5 people.

5. Choose the site location where you want to set an appointment. After choosing your preferred location, click “Next”.

6. You will then see dates that are colored green or red. Green-colored dates mean there are remaining time slots available, while red-colored dates mean they are fully booked.

If you have not completed the appointment by this time, you will be redirected to the homepage.

Is walk-in application allowed without an appointment?

As per the DFA’s rules, regular applicants cannot simply walk in and apply for a passport; an online appointment is required. However, there are exemptions to this rule.

Who are allowed to submit walk-in applications?

Walk-in application is allowed, without need for prior appointment, ONLY for the following applicants:

  1. Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) with proof of status, such as iDOLE OFW, card, valid employment contract, valid Work Visa, or Seaman’s book stamped at international border less than 365 days from the date of application;
  2. Senior Citizen, 60 years old and above, with Senior Citizen ID and one (1) travel companion;
  3. Person with Disability (PWD) with PWD ID or visible disability and one (1) travel companion;
  4. Solo Parent with Valid Solo Parent ID and his/her minor children;
  5. Pregnant woman with medical certificate;
  6. Minor aged seven (7) years old and below, and his/her parents.

For Senior Citizens and PWD applicants, the DFA allows one (1) companion to go with them who can also apply to get a passport without need for online appointment.

The companion must be an immediate family member (spouse, sibling, adult children, adult grandchildren, parents-in-law, and children-in-law) and must show proof of relationship. If the companion is not an immediate family member, the companion must present proof of travel arrangements (for example, confirmed plane or hotel booking) with the Senior Citizen or PWD applicant in order to be allowed to avail of the Priority Lane.

If you belong to the list above, you may walk in and avail of the Priority Lane / Courtesy Lane / OFW Lane at DFA Aseana, any DFA Satellite Office, or Regional Consular Office.

Where are the DFA offices outside Metro Manila?

Applicants located in the provinces (outside Metro Manila) may visit any DFA regional consular office near them in order to apply to get a passport.

Step 2: Pay the Passport Fee before going to the DFA office

All passport applicants are now required to pay the passport processing fee before they even make the personal appearance at a DFA consular office. The DFA implemented this rule to discourage applicants who fail to show up during their chosen appointment date.

Where to pay the Philippine passport processing fee?

Payment of passport fees may be done at DFA-approved payment centers, such as:

  • Bayad Center
  • 7-11 Convenience Store
  • Robinsons Business Center in Robinsons Department Store
  • USCC Western Union

We have the complete list of Payment Centers in the section “Where can I pay the passport fee (DFA Payment Centers)?” below.

How much is the Passport Fee?

The fee will depend on whether you want your passport processed ASAP or processed normally. You may choose from two options:

  1. Regular Processing; or
  2. Express (Expedited) Processing

The Regular passport application fee is P950.00. Regular processing means your Philippine passport will be released to you after 12 working days, regardless if the application was made within or outside Metro Manila.

If you need your passport ASAP, you may choose the alternative: a faster but slightly more expensive option. The Express passport processing fee is P1,200.00. For this expedited method, the passport will be released to you after 6 working days (for applications in Metro Manila) and 7 working days (for applications outside Metro Manila).

Take note that for all passport applications processed on a Saturday, the processing fee is fixed at P1,200.00.

For all Philippine Foreign Service Posts abroad, the application fee is $60.00 or its equivalent in foreign currency in that the country while the release of passports usually takes around 4-6 weeks.

Passport Application Fee and Processing Time

Application VenueRegularExpress (Expedited Processing)

(12 working days)
PHP 1,200.00
(6 working days)

(12 working days)
PHP 1,200.00
(7 working days)
Foreign Service Posts (outside Philippines)US$60.00
(4-6 weeks)

Where can I find the “Reference Number” to pay the passport fee?

In “Step 1: Schedule a Passport Appointment Online”, make sure you correctly chose your preferred passport processing type (expedited or regular). You should have received a Reference Number related to your application that was sent directly to your email.

Check your email and print a copy or take note of the “Reference Number” sent by the DFA. It actually doesn’t matter which payment center you’ll make the payment. This is going to be your choice. What’s more important is the “Reference Number” of your passport application.

Where can I pay the passport fee (DFA Payment Centers)?

Where to Pay DFA Passport Fee

Here’s a list of ePayment Centers in the Philippines authorized by the DFA to receive the passport application fee:

Malls

  • Robinsons Business Center
  • Robinsons Department Store
  • Waltemart Department Store

Bayad Center / Bills Payment Center

Convenience Store

Remittance Center

  • USSC (Western Union)

Pawnshop

  • Villarica Pawnshop

When paying in any of these payment centers, bring a copy of the email sent to you by the DFA or copy the “Reference Number” in that email. This is very important since the Reference Number corresponds to your passport application.

One reference number corresponds to only one transaction. If you are paying for multiple reference numbers, you will need to separately pay for each reference number. The DFA advises applicants against splitting the payment (that is, making more than one payment using the same reference number).

Also take note that there is an additional P50.00 convenience fee which was added on top of the passport processing fee which you will also pay at any of the payment centers above. After payment, make sure to keep the Official Receipt.

At present, credit card or ATM / debit card payments are not yet allowed but, according to the DFA, they are currently testing these methods and will soon accept debit and credit card payments.

What is the “Confirmed Appointment Packet”?

Once your payment is processed and confirmed, the DFA will email you the Confirmed Appointment Packet, which contains the documents you must print and bring to the DFA during your scheduled appointment.

In the email you will receive, click the link to your passport appointment packet. You will then be able to download a PDF copy of the following documents. The “Confirmed Appointment Packet” contains the following documents which you must print and bring during your personal appearance at the DFA consular office:

  1. Checklist with the indicated appointment schedule
  2. Confirmed Application Form with bar code, appointment reference number (ARN), and eReceipt number
  3. Two (2) copies of the eReceipt

Step 3: Prepare all Passport Requirements

Make sure you are ready with all required documents before showing up on your appointment date. You are required to print and bring the three (3) items in the “Confirmed Application Packet” sent to your email, plus other Core and Supporting Requirements identified below.

Regardless if you are applying for a new passport or renewing your expired passport or replacing a lost passport, print and bring with you the following contents of the “Confirmed Application Packet” which you received in your email after successfully booking an online appointment:

  1. Checklist with your indicated schedule;
  2. Confirmed Application Form with the bar code, appointment reference number (ARN), and eReceipt number; and
  3. Two (2) copies of the eReceipt.

Step 4: Make a Personal Appearance on your appointment date with the required documents

On your appointment date and time, personally show up at your chosen DFA branch at least 30 minutes before appointment time. Take note that personal appearance is required when making the application. A proxy cannot represent you on your behalf since your photo (to be included on the passport) will need to be taken during this day.

Present your documents to the reception or Appointment Counter, get a queue number, and wait for your number to be called. Once called, proceed to the “Processing” counter where a staff will validate your application.

If everything is in order, you may now proceed to “Encoding” section for photo and data capture. Here, your photo will be taken, your fingerprints will be captured, and your basic personal information will be stored in the DFA database system.

Unfortunately, this step could last a few minutes or a few hours, depending on the number of applicants being processed that day.

There are some strict rules when your photo is being taken so make sure you follow them or your passport won’t be processed:

  • No smiling
  • Close your mouth, your teeth cannot show, and you must have a “poker-face” expression
  • Earrings, eyeglasses, and solored contact lens must be removed
  • Look directly at the camera
  • Wear decent clothing for photo capture, since some countries implement strict dress codes in the passport photo. Plunging necklines, sleeveless clothing, spaghetti strapped tops, see-through tops, sando, tube tops, halters etc. are not allowed.

Put on your “best face” since this moment will determine the photo that will be on your passport for the next 10 years! You certainly don’t want a bad photo on your passport!

Once your photo is taken and biometrics data are stored, the DFA staff will then inform you when your passport will be ready. This will also be written in the payment receipt which was given to you during payment.

Step 5: Pick up your passport or have it passport delivered to your home

If you don’t want to personally pick up your passport, you may choose to have it delivered straight to your doorsteps.

Just pay the delivery fee in the “Courier” or “Delivery” counter before you leave the DFA premises. They will inform you about the exact date when the passport will be delivered to you. Delivery usually takes 1-2 weeks after your application.

If you did not opt for home delivery, you may pick up your passport during the scheduled release date. Just proceed directly to the “Passport Releasing” counter and present your payment receipt to the person in the “Passport Releasing” section.

That’s it! You now have your new passport. Congratulations!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. I’m now married and I want to change my maiden name in the passport to my husband’s last name. What do I do?

Married female applicants who wish to use their married name (husband’s last name) may renew their passport by submitting the following additional requirements:

  • (1) an authenticated Marriage Certificate issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA); and
  • (2) valid IDs bearing the husband’s last name.

2. I’m married but I still want to use my maiden name in the passport. Is this allowed?

Yes, provided that you have not used yet your married name in any previous Philippine passport. But if you are updating your marital status from “single” to “married”, you will be required to submit a valid Marriage Certificate.

3. My husband and I are separated. Can I apply for a new passport using my maiden name?

You may revert to your maiden name only if the marriage is legally annulled (or you are already a widow). Adequate documentary evidence will be required.

4. Should I wait for my passport to be expired before I can apply for renewal?

No, don’t wait for your passport to expire before renewing it. As per immigration rules of most countries, passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure.

The DFA suggests that Filipinos renew their passport ten (10) months before the date of expiration.

5. What’s the difference between “Individual” and “Group Appointment” in the Online Appointment System?

Individual appointment refers to a single applicant and a single slot reservation only.

For group appointment, applicants may be a group of 2 to 5 people to be assigned different appointment codes.

6. Can I change my appointment date or change the DFA branch of my appointment?

Yes. You may change your preferred date and schedule via the “Reschedule” feature.

To do this, click on “Schedule Appointment > View Appointment” in the DFA appointment website. You need to ready your Appointment Code and your email address in order to View and Reschedule your appointment.

7. I submitted an online appointment but I did not receive an email notification.

It is possible that the email was incorrectly tagged as spam. If no message appears in your Inbox a few minutes after you submitted your application, check your Junk or Spam folder to see if the email was sent there.

DFA also advises that email addresses such as Hotmail, Live, MSN, and Outlook may not receive email confirmation due to technical incompatibilities. As such, Gmail or Yahoo accounts are recommended email accounts to be used.

It is also possible that you did not receive an email confirmation because you submitted a wrong or invalid email address. If this is the case, check the next FAQ question.

8. I made a mistake and submitted a wrong or invalid email address.

If you inadvertently used an invalid or incorrect email address, you won’t be able to receive the confirmation email which you’ll need to confirm your appointment. To re-apply, unfortunately, you will have to wait five (5) days for your reserved appointment to be cancelled. You are only allowed to re-apply once the system has cancelled your original appointment.

9. The system says I already have an appointment but I did not receive a confirmation email or Appointment Code.

This actually happened to me when I applied. Apparently what happened was I mistyped my email address so after submitting the form, I did not receive the confirmation email. Upon realizing this, I tried to re-apply but the system recognized that I already have an appointment.

In such a case, you will need to wait five (5) days for the appointment to be canceled. There is not other recourse but to wait for the original appointment to lapse after 5 days. True enough, on the 6th day, I was able to apply again.

Lesson learned: make sure you correctly input your email address and other required information so as to not cause any problems or delay in the application.

10. I don’t know where to find the Appointment Code.

This is included in the email sent to the email address you submitted. Please check again the email you received. The Appointment Code should be there.

11. I submitted the application, but I realized I made mistakes in the form. Should I cancel my appointment and submit a new application form?

No need. According to the DFA, on your scheduled appointment date, simply inform the DFA Processing staff about the errors (such as incorrect birthday, address, wrong spelling of name, etc.). The information may be corrected based on the documents or ID that you will bring.

Be reminded that any incorrect information you put in the application form may result in a delay in processing. The DFA also warns applicants that any misrepresentation may be considered grounds for refusal or cancellation of your appointment.

12. Can I use Postal ID, TIN ID, or Philhealth ID when applying for a passport?

Starting August 1, 2019, Postal IDs have been approved and allowed by the DFA as a valid ID for presentation during passport application.

However, TIN ID or Philhealth ID are still not allowed as valid IDs for passport application purposes.

13. Can I send a proxy to claim my passport?

Yes, but the proxy must be an immediate family member who must bring: (1) an authorization letter duly signed by the passport holder; and (2) photocopy of the IDs of both the passport holder and the proxy or representative. Immediate family members include father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, and children of legal age.

The passport of the minor applicant shall be released only to parents or adult siblings or to an authorized representative with Special Power of Attorney or Affidavit of Support and Consent and photocopy of the IDs of the passport holder and the authorized person.

14. I don’t have enough cash to pay the full passport fee. Can I pay today and make another payment tomorrow using the same reference number?

No, this is not allowed because a reference number can only be used for payment once. This means if you already paid but you did not pay the full amount, you are no longer allowed to make another payment using the same reference number.

If this happened to you, contact the DFA Helpdesk at Telephone Number (02) 234-3488 to resolve the issue.

15. I did not show up during my scheduled appointment. Can I get a refund of the fees I paid?

If you failed to show up on your appointment date, you will NOT receive a refund of the passport application fee and P50.00 convenience fee (paid to the payment center). You will have to pay these again in case you reapply.

16. I wasn’t able to claim my passport on the release date. Can I still pick it up?

Yes, you may claim it anytime as long as it has not been cancelled yet. Unclaimed passports are cancelled after one hundred and eighty (180) days from the application date.

17. I have foreign visas on my old passport that are still valid. How to transfer those visas to my new passport?

There is no need to transfer the visas since expiration of passports do not affect the validity of the visa. However, you must bring your old passport, containing the valid visas, together with your new passport when traveling to countries requiring those visas.

18. I lost my Philippine passport, what do I do?

In case of lost or stolen passport that is still valid, report your lost passport at the Consular Office of your choice. You will be required to submit a Police Report (in English) and an Affidavit of Loss.

In case of a lost passport that is already expired, you will be required to submit Affidavit of Loss.

Application for a replacement passport in both cases is considered a “New Application” so please submit the requirements stated in Step 3 above, “No. 1: Passport Requirements: New Application (Adults)”. Take note that there is an additional 15 business days clearing period for lost valid passports.

    • If you apply now through appointment the available slot is at the end of June. Their processing for rush is 10days. So you need a new passport now but you will get it only after more than one month. Here in Malaysia it used to take 0ne week for them to get a passport using manual process while in PH it was taking only one day if you come in the morning and next day if you come after lunch using the manual process. When Malaysia shifted to electronic and machine readable passports they can release passports in 30 minutes. In Philippines after they shift to electronic passport it is taking 10 days to two months to get a passport.

I got a slot for my son and supposed to be scheduled Feb 28 but when we arrived at megamall dfa the place that was our scheduled upon checking on the computer my aon’s name wasn’t there… So our effort just wasted… The hardship to get that slot waiting sleep late and wake up early just to get a slot all wasted ans so useless… That your office just turned down people just easy… From that moment time to time I get back to do online I cant find slot it’s really terible and frustrating. Please do some assisting… Please I need this passport immediately for processing our papers going to US. My husband wants us to leave early as soon my son off to school April 1st week and yet still didnt got the passport.

  15. Hi.
    Nagpa renew po ako ng passport last Feb. 28, 2018 at Marquee Mall, Angeles City, Pampanga.
    I paid regular fee for the release of my passport, pwede ko ba siya ipa-rush? Mag add nalang ako ng payment for rush release.
    Thank you,

  16. just wanna ask po.. hindi na daw tinatanggap ang NBI Clearance ngayon as Identity Document sa new application ng passport sa DFA?? TIN. NBI Clearance. Alumni ID lang meron ang brother ko. so unfair naman if wala silang matanggap doon. ibig bang sabihin ibang tao siya, hindi valid kahit na may PSA birth certificate siya at LCR na din, hindi pa rin pwede magapply for passport nowadays?? I need help po.. thanks 🙂

  20. Ilang beses na akong nakakuha ng slots this year for my family last January and now April. Lahat yun a week before the appointment. I can get earlier pa dun. My advice sa mga gustong makakuha ng slot is to check their website regularly. And ito ang dapat nyong abangan:
    1. Cancelled/Rescheduled appointment – nag oopen ang slot kapag may nagcancel or nagparesched ng appointment nila. Random ito at kahit saang location. Kaya dapat lahat ng location icheck nyo rin (if kailangang kailangan nyo na ng passport). My advice is to check for it during waking hours (kung kelan tayo gising at may time para magcancel/resched ng appointment). Tingin nyo kung kayo ang magccancel ng appointment mga anong oras kaya? Paunahan nalang sa pagpapasched kasi paisa isa lang ito.
    2. Mass slots from DFA – nagoopen ng maraming slots ang DFA randomly. Nakatsempo ako this January, lahat ng location may available na slots for the month of Jan-June. 11pm onwards ako nagcheck. Hindi sabay sabay na nag oopen yung slots sa lahat ng location (pdeng Aseana muna, then after several mins. sa Manila nmn etc). And then today April 4 11 pm onwards, nag-open sila ng slots for the month of April(10-30), lahat din ng oras open sa lahat ng site location nila. Madalas kong icheck ang website nila (to outwit them), kaya masasabi kong random day ito. My advice is lagi nyong icheck ang website nila, around 11pm-3am (based on my experience). AND!! pag natsempuhan nyong may isang location na maraming open na slot for the same month, wag na kayong umalis sa website nila. haha. the following mins. or hour mag oopen na rin ang ibang location. tyaga lang po kung gusto nyong makakuha ng maaga at malapit na slot sa location nyo. di nyo na po kailangang gumastos tyaga lang po talaga.
    Additional advice, pag may nakita kayong slot kunin nyo na (be sure na makakapunta kayo sa day na yun) kahit medyo malayo yung lugar pero willing kayong puntahan o kaya nmn matagal pa yung date. KUNIN NIYO NA. mas ok na may slot na kayo kesa sa wala. Then, before your appointment mag abang kayo ng mas maaga or mas malapit na location at ireschedule nyo na lang appointment nyo. Make sure to confirm it on your email.
    Hope this will help..

  24. Dapat ang mga renewal hwag ng bigyan ng appointment, at yung urgent/emergency kumuha ng passport I considered basta my ipapakitang katibayang rason. Yung mga new application passport yan ang dapat bgyan ng appointment online.
    Kataulad kong tlgang urgent ng marenew ang passport ko, hirap akong mkpag online appointment para mkakuha ng slot. Need kong masamahan ang pamangkin ko skanyang ina na may sakit sa ibang bansa, ngunit papano hirap ako mkpag usad para mapabago ang passport ko, bago mahuli ang lahat sa pagtatagpo ng pamangkin ko at ang kanyang ina.
    Tulungan nyo po ako..pls…

  25. Ano pa pong dapat gawin o malapitan upang makapag renewal passport ako, hirap makakuha ng slot. Kailangang kailangan ko na ang passport ko.
    Dapat wala ng appointment ang renewal at ang mga urgent or emergency ,ngunit dapat my katibayan na rasong ipapakita.
    Ang mga baguhan lang ang dapat kumuha ng appointment slot

    • There is no specific date kung kailan may available slots kasi mabilisan ang pagkuha. If you are willing to check the DFA site every second/hours/or days, baka sakaling makakita ka ng available.

  35. Hi, Got an available slot for dfa online passport appointment. But after ko ma-click ung appointment date, it appeared that slot are already full. From then on, everytime na magcheck ako ng available slot, it always appeared like this. ” Please be advised that your chosen time slot is reserved for 15 minutes”. What to do for this situation? please help.
    Thankyou in advance.

    • There is no problem in that situation. That means po na may nauna na dun sa slot na yon. Basta dapat po mabilisan ang pag-click niyo at mabilis din dapat ang internet connection or phone na gamit niyo.

  36. Will DFA still allow me to correct erroneous information on the scheduled date of appointment? Instead of writing my mother’s maiden name, I wrote the mother’s maiden name of my father or my grandmother’s maiden name. I cannot just cancel this appointment because it’s really difficult to get new available schedule.

    • Pwede nyo pong ipacorrect yan sa dfa mismo. Before ka magproceed sa process, they check it for corrections. So sabihan mo lang sila sa gusto mong ipa-corect.
