Passport Renewal Requirements 2026 (Philippines)
Quick answer
To renew a Philippine passport, bring your appointment confirmation, application form, and your current passport with a photocopy of the data page. Holders of older brown, green or maroon passports also bring a PSA birth certificate and one valid ID, with photocopies. The passport renewal guide covers the full process.
What are the requirements?
| Document | Original or copy | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment confirmation | Printed | From passport.gov.ph |
| Application form | Printed | Generated after booking |
| Current or old passport | Original + photocopy of data page | Expired passports are fine |
| PSA birth certificate | Original + photocopy | Non-ePassport (brown, green, maroon) only |
| Valid ID from the DFA list | Original + photocopy | Non-ePassport only |
| PSA marriage certificate | Original + photocopy | If changing to your married name |
| Annotated PSA marriage certificate + PSA birth certificate | Original | Going back to your maiden name after annulment or divorce |
| Notarized affidavit of explanation | Original | If the passport is damaged (PHP 350 penalty) |
| Police report + affidavit of loss | Original | If lost: see the lost passport guide |
Tips:
- An ePassport has a chip symbol on the cover.
- A woman who keeps her maiden name does not need a marriage certificate.
- Check that your appointment type is renewal, not new.
Before you go: make sure your PSA records match your old passport. The DFA follows the PSA record, so fix any difference in your name or birth date with the PSA first.
