Mga Bagong Requirements sa Renewal ng Green at Machine Readable Passports

Para sa lahat ng naka-schedule at nagbabalak pa lamang magpa renew ng kanilang Green o Machine Readable Passports, importanteng malaman na may bagong patakaran ang Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) sa prosesong ito.

Simula noong Lunes, June 6, 2016, lahat ng domestic applications para sa renewal ng nasabing Green o Machine Readable Passports (MRP) ay mangangailangan ng mga karagdagang IDs at documentary requirements:

• Ang aktwal na MRP o Green booklet passport
• PSA Birth Certificate
• At least one (1) valid identification document.
• Iba pang supporting documents (i.e. PSA Marriage Certificate kung married ang aplikante at ginagamit ang married name sa passport.)

Siguraduhing dala ninyo ang mga dokumentong ito sa araw ng inyong appointment para maiwasan ang delays sa inyong application for passport renewal.

Tandaan din na simula noong June 1, 2016, ang sino mang hindi sumipot sa araw at oras ng kanyang naktakdang appointment for passport application and renewal ay hindi mabibigyan ng pagkakataon na mag set ng panibagong appointment sa loob ng 30 araw.  Kaya’t markahan ang inyong mga kalendaryo ayon sa appointment na inyong hiniling online para maka-iwas sa abala.

DFA Applicants Reminded to Claim their Passports within Six Months

Bonjour. Mabuhay.

Just in case you don’t know:

The Department of Foreign Affairs – Office of Consular Affairs (DFA-OCA) wishes to remind all passport applicants to claim their passports within six months from its release.

Pursuant to DFA regulations, all unclaimed passports at the DFA-OCA main office in Paranaque, Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) Passport Extension Office, Regional Consular Offices (RCOs) nationwide or at the Philippine Embassies and Consulates General will be canceled and immediately disposed of after six months.

When you get a passport, make sure you get it, don’t let it rot and assume you can get it anytime. The sheer volume of passports alone will overwhelm the space where it can be kept.

If you can’t go back to claim it, have it delivered instead. Check out delivery options in this section.
