Passport Renewal Fee 2026: DFA Price and Embassy Fees
Quick answer
Renewing a Philippine passport at the DFA costs ₱950 for regular processing or ₱1,200 for expedited processing in 2026. An expired passport costs no more to renew. A lost or damaged passport adds a ₱350 penalty. Abroad, each embassy or consulate sets its own renewal fee in local currency. The passport renewal guide explains each step.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Regular renewal | ₱950 | 10 working days in Metro Manila, 12 elsewhere |
| Expedited renewal | ₱1,200 | 5 working days in Metro Manila, 7 elsewhere |
| Lost or damaged passport penalty | ₱350 | Added to the renewal fee |
| Appointment booking | ₱0 | Never pay for a slot |
Tips:
- An expired passport has no penalty. The DFA charges extra only for lost or damaged passports.
- Pay only through the options shown after booking on passport.gov.ph.
- The expedited fee is not refunded if the passport is released late.
- Courier delivery is optional and is not part of the DFA fee.
Costs outside the DFA fee:
- PSA birth certificate, only if your old passport is not an ePassport.
- PSA marriage certificate, if you change to your married name.
- Notary fee for an affidavit of loss or explanation, only if needed.
The price is the same as for a first passport. For the full price list, delivery and the ₱1,500 fee the passport printer asked for, see the passport price page.
What makes a passport renewal cost more?
Three things raise the price at the DFA:
- Rush processing. Expedited renewal costs ₱1,200, which is ₱250 more than regular.
- A lost passport. You pay the ₱350 penalty: ₱1,300 regular or ₱1,550 expedited. A lost valid passport also needs a police report and an affidavit of loss, and the DFA adds a 15-day clearing period. See the lost passport guide.
- A damaged passport. The same ₱350 penalty applies to a mutilated passport.
Seniors and PWDs can walk in through the Courtesy Lane and may still choose regular processing at ₱950.
