Frequently asked questions
I live far from my consulate. What can I do?
Ask about consular outreach. The Embassy lists its missions on its Consular Outreach Program page. Passport slots for an outreach open on passport.gov.ph one month before and close three days before the visit, or when full. For dual citizenship at an outreach, mail your application to the Embassy in advance.
Can I book at a consulate outside my area?
Book at the post that covers your state. Each post lists its states and territories on the Consulate Finder.
Can I walk in at the Embassy without an appointment?
Not for passport, dual citizenship or notarial services. Every frontline window at the Consular Section needs an appointment.
