Philippine Consulate Dubai Appointment: How to Book
Quick answer
Passport slots for both UAE posts are booked on the DFA system at passport.gov.ph. Notarial and civil registry services in Dubai have their own online portal. In Abu Dhabi, most notarial documents are accepted early in the morning without a booking. The Migrant Workers Offices follow "no appointment, no entry", with a walk-in window for workers who are about to fly.
How appointment systems work in general is explained in our embassy appointment guide.
What are the requirements?
- An email address you can open on your phone. Confirmation links arrive by email.
- Your passport and Emirates ID details, typed exactly as they appear.
- One booking per person. The Consulate General in Dubai warns that double bookings can cancel your appointment.

Frequently asked questions
I cannot find a free passport slot in Dubai. Can I go to Abu Dhabi?
Book with the post that covers your emirate. If you live in Abu Dhabi and only need a simple renewal, the VFS ePassport Renewal Center at the World Trade Centre Abu Dhabi is another option.
Do I need an appointment to claim my passport in Dubai?
No. Check the release list on the Consulate's website, then go and claim it.
Can someone else collect my notarized document in Dubai?
Yes. The representative brings your original authorization letter, the original receipt and their own valid ID. The Consulate's notarial page lists any other papers it asks for.
What should I wear?
Both posts turn away visitors in sando, shorts or slippers. Dress simply and neatly.
