DFA Passport Requirements

Filipino Passport

A passport opens the door to the world. Filipino citizens can travel Visa-free or with Visa on arrival to more than 50 countries worldwide. Having a DFA Office at Robinsons Place Dumaguete makes it relatively easy to apply for one, or renew an expired one. Following are the passport requirements. If one takes care of all needed documents and papers, becoming a worldwide traveler is only an airline ticket away.

Requirements for Passport Application (First Time)

General Requirements:

  • Personal appearance
  • Confirmed online appointment
  • Duly accomplished application form – may be downloaded from the DFA website, www.dfa.gov.ph
    (Reminder: province of youth must be specifically added – ex. Cebu City not just Cebu, Marikina Rizal not just Rizal)
  • Birth Certificate (BC) in Security Paper (SECPA) issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) or Certified True Copy (CTC) of BC issued by the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) and duly authenticated by PSA. Transcribed Birth Certificate from the LCR is required when entries in PSA Birth Certificate are blurred or unreadable. (REPORT OF BIRTH DULY AUTHENTICATED BY PSA IF BORN ABROAD)
  • Valid picture IDs and supporting documents to prove identity (Please refer to List of Acceptable IDs and List of Supporting Documents)

For Married Women:

  • Report of Marriage duly authenticated by PSA if married abroad
  • Original and photocopy of Commission of Filipino Overseas (CFO) Guidance and Counseling Certificate of Attendance (required for women with foreign national husband).

    hello. I just want to ask if NBI clearance is really needed in applying for passport because it is not stated their that it is a must. At least any 2 of the following only. I don’t have my Nbi yet because it will be release nxt week and I need to apply urgently because my employer cannot wait long. I only have here my Police, Barrangay clearance, form 137 and Voters Crtification. Thank you and hoping for immediate response..

      Sadly we see comments like that and wonder if the author actually took 5 minutes time to read AND understand where they are commenting on. That is leaving us with the opinion, that some people should not get a passport. It would not reflect very well on us Filipino. People abroad may think all Filipino are like this.

    I went to my appointment last October 8, and when i had my turn to go to the counter they told me that they will not accept my documents due to lacking of Valid Id’s i told them that it was on the site that company ID is acceptable but they told me that the site was not yet updated because company Id is no longer applicable even i brought along my supporting docs. I admitted that i don’t have any Valid Id’s with me since UMID will take 2 months to be received. But the thing is, they did not give me chance to show my supporting docs i pleaded to them since i came from Cebu to Dumaguete for the said appointment and i even paid 1250 for the rush process. I waited for about 1 month for the said appointment and then the outcome was not what i expected to be. They just told me they will not consider the company ID even i have my company certification. Now tell where is the justice in regards on this matter? Dumaguete DFA office is one of the RUDE government office ever, and that guy who entertain me i will never forget that face!!!

      For 15 years old student, he or she will follow the general requirements with valid IDs including school ID among others. The minor must be assisted by a parent or legal guardian with a photocopy of passport or any government-issued ID. The regular procedure must still be followed, including an online appointment. We hope this help.

    Hello, I would like to get a passport. I been emailing and calling around but I always refers from people to people and I end up sending an emails which my questions still do not get answered.

    What are the requirements to inter Dumaguete?
    1. Is there specific medical office to get the swab test?
    2. Is it really necessary to spend 14 days quarantine even though we only get a passport?
    or in a worst case scenario, we only stay 1 night – is that allowed.

    3. Aside from certificate of acceptance, DFA appointment confirmation and passprt requirements, negative swab test and maybe hotel for a night, what the others? Please please tell me what I missed to state.

    Daghan salamat.
    Gahinaot ka nga magpadayon mog may maayong panlawas og layo sa mga katalagman. Og Naghinaot usab ko na malamdagan na tanan nakong mga pangutana kay it’s very important lang gyud gusto nako makakita sila sa apo ayha mag isa ka tuig. Daghang salamat…..
