DFA Passport Appointment Online: Help and Guides
Quick answer
passport.gov.ph is the only place to book a Philippine passport appointment in the Philippines. There is no account or password: you fill in a form, and your appointment code is sent to your email. Booking is free; the passport fee is PHP 950 for regular processing or PHP 1,200 for expedited.
What you can do on passport.gov.ph
- Book an individual or group appointment at a DFA consular office or TOPS site.
- Pay the passport fee through Maya or an accredited over-the-counter payment center.
- Open your booking with Manage Existing Appointment to view it, download the filled-in application form, or move it.
- See the list of requirements and accredited payment merchants.
There is no login, so there is no password to reset. A page that asks you for a password to book a DFA slot is not the DFA.
What do you need before you start?
- An email address you can open now. DFA recommends Google (Gmail) or Yahoo addresses to avoid delivery problems.
- Your details exactly as on your PSA birth certificate or old passport.
- The documents for your case, from the DFA list of requirements.
DFA warns against fixers and social media pages that sell slots: appointments are free and valid only if made on passport.gov.ph.
