Passport Renewal in Hong Kong for Filipinos
Quick answer
The Philippine Consulate General in Admiralty renews passports for HKD 480. Book on passport.gov.ph or through the drop box in United Centre, then bring a 7x10 inch brown envelope with HKD 37 in stamps. The Consulate mails the new passport to your address, usually 6 to 12 weeks after your appointment. It is open on Sundays.
The steps that apply at every post are in our passport renewal abroad guide.
What are the requirements?
- Your latest passport and a photocopy of the first page.
- A photocopy of your latest Hong Kong visa.
- Your Hong Kong Identity Card and a photocopy (for permanent residents).
- A 7x10 inch brown envelope with HKD 37 in stamps, for mailing.

2. On your date, go to 14/F United Centre
Ask the security officer in the lobby for a queue ticket and line up at Counter 4.
3. When called, have your biometrics taken and check every detail on the screen
Errors found after you leave the counter mean a spoiled passport and a new fee.

How do I get my new passport in Hong Kong?
You do not claim it at the Consulate. It is mailed to the address on your envelope, by Hongkong Post:
- When: your passport stub or receipt shows the tentative release date. The Consulate says to expect it 6 to 12 weeks after your processing.
- Tracking: use the Passport Tracker on the Consulate's website, or Hongkong Post's Track and Trace with the tracking number on your envelope. The encoder reminds you to take a photo of your envelope, so keep that photo.
- Not delivered by the release date: track it with the link on your receipt, then call Hongkong Post at 2921-2222.
- When it arrives: check every detail. If something is wrong, report it to the Consulate. The Consulate says you would apply and pay HKD 480 again.
- Unclaimed passports: the DFA cancels a passport not claimed within one year of the application date.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get my old passport back?
Yes. Bring it when you travel if it has a valid visa, because a new passport does not cancel the visa in the old one.
What if the courier did not deliver my passport on the release date?
Track it with the HK Post link on your receipt. For more help, call HK Post at 2921-2222.
I lost my passport in Hong Kong. What do I bring?
A photocopy of the lost passport, your PSA birth certificate, two affidavits of loss, a police report, a copy of your contract, your HKID, and a letter from your employer saying they know the passport is lost. Add the stamped envelope. Photo capture happens after the 15-day clearing period.
I had to fly home before my passport arrived. Can I get it in the Philippines?
Yes, if you left for reasons beyond your control. Ask the nearest DFA consular office in the Philippines to request the transfer of your unclaimed passport.
