Tips for fellow Philippine Passport Holders
Posted June 25th, 2009 at 10:40 AM by smallbird
In order to avoid any rush, I decided to renew my passport beforehand. The actual cost for renewal is PhP 650 ( P500 for ordinary passport renewal and P150 for ID picture taken in the premise of DFA- Libertad St, Pasay City). An additional P250 will be charged if you opt to have it released in half the time, some call it express.
Avoid the fixers outside the DFA compound, they’ll elude you and you’ll end up paying for everything including a “not for sale” application form for P19/form, photo ID at PhP180, fee for using paste , fee for using stapler and stamp pad for fingerprinting.
Don’t forget to bring your current passport and photocopy of the first, last and pages containing last immigration stamps and Php650, avoid doing this on Mondays. For new applicants, better check Department of Foreign Affairs website first for the complete requirements for easy and orderly transaction.
Always check on your documents, when done, secure your official receipt (O.R.). It will serve as the claim stab finally come back on the schedule indicated in your OR to claim your passport.
