PASSPORT
OVERVIEW
The Philippines has instituted the electronic passport (ePassport) system for all its citizens. The ePassport features microchip technology and a host of other security features thereby ensuring that Philippine passports are virtually tamper-proof. ePassport issuance is also compliant with the security standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The Philippine ePassport has an integrated circuit (chip) within its pages containing data that are essential in verifying the identity of the passport holder. These include the personal biographical information found on the data page of the passport, the biometrics of the passport holder, the unique chip identification number, and a digital signature to verify the authenticity of the data stored on the chip. The chip technology allows the information stored in an ePassport to be read by special chip readers at almost every international port of entry.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
- When to Apply: The Consulate General advises all Philippine passport holders, whose passports are expiring within the next 6 months, to renew their passports.
- Personal Appearance: All Filipino citizens applying for passports with the Philippine Consulate General will no longer need to submit photographs, as their picture, together with their fingerprints and signature, will be taken on-site. This means that all passport applicants, regardless of age, are henceforth required to appear personally.
- Required Documentation: To avoid delays, please ensure that all required documents are included in your application. Please note that the consular officer reserves the right to require additional documents from an applicant to prove their identity and/or citizenship, and ensure accurate and complete personal data entries.
- Processing Time: The Consulate General receives and processes applications for ePassports, which are then sent to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila for printing and issuance. Please allow six to eight weeks for the processing and release of your passport.
- Passport Fees: Passport fees are non-refundable. Accepted payment methods include cash or money order, debit/credit card (3% convenience fee applies), bank draft, certified check or cashier’s check, made payable to "Philippine Consulate General". Personal checks are not accepted.
- Release: All passports will be released by mail. Please prepare postage stamps worth $10.10. The Philippine Consulate General assumes no responsibility for any delay or loss during mail delivery, or while the documents are in the custody of the courier service.
- After Getting your Passport: Once you receive your passport, there are a few important steps you should take:
- Check the Details. Verify that all personal information is correct.
- Sign Your Passport. Immediately sign the third page of your passport booklet.
- Make Copies. Make photocopies of your passport data page. Keep at least one copy at home and take another copy with you when you travel, stored separately from your actual passport. Take note of the following details: passport number, date of issue, date of expiry, and place of issue.
- Store It Safely. When not in use, store your passport in a secure place to prevent it from being lost or stolen.
- Take Care of Your Passport. Do not staple anything on the passport booklet, especially the covers, as this may damage the electronic chip and render the ePassport unreadable. Any unauthorized changes will invalidate the passport and may incur legal penalties.
- Check the Validity of Your Passport. Regularly check the validity of your passport and plan to renew it at least nine (9) months before it expires to avoid any travel disruptions.
HOW TO APPLY:
By appointment through passport.gov.ph (Except for emergency travel to the Philippines due to medical treatment or death in the family).
