How to Book a DFA Passport Appointment Online
Quick answer
Start from Schedule an Appointment on passport.gov.ph, agree to the terms, and choose Start Individual Appointment or Start Group Appointment. Pick an office, date and time, fill in the application form, then pay the PHP 950 regular or PHP 1,200 expedited fee. Your appointment code and, after payment, your appointment packet arrive by email.
What do you need before you start?
- A Gmail or Yahoo address, which DFA recommends to avoid email problems.
- Your full name, birth date and birthplace exactly as on your PSA birth certificate, or your old passport details if renewing.
- The documents on the DFA requirements list for your case (adult or minor, new or renewal).
- Enough time to finish the form in one go. The site logs you out after a period of inactivity.
