Last year I renewed my passport wherein I applied for it the hard way – I filled up the application form, lined up for long hours. I was there from 10am and finally finished by 7pm. Then my new passport was delivered to our home after one week.
DFA Passport Direct: Online Passport Application and Renewal
My parents on the other hand applied for the renewal of their passports using Pilipinas Teleserve’s DFA Express Passport Delivery. If I had known, I would have used the same service.
My friend, Thea, shares another story. Thea’s 2 kids, both in gradeschool, needed passports. They applied through DFA Passport Direct. Because it was a new passport, the kids had to make a personal appearance at DFA which was coordinated by the DFA Passport Direct service. On the day of the personal appearance, Thea and husband took a leave from work, drove from Cavite to Manila and brought their kids to DFA … only to find out they were given wrong appointment information. They had tocome back another day. 
I’d think that Thea’s experience was an exception. I still believe the DFA Passport Direct provides convenience for a reasonable fee.

how to get a application forn for renewal
para sa akin hindi na tama yung gingawa sa atin mga pilpino dahil pahirap ang ginagawa sa mga ng tatrabaho sa ibang bansa, ituwid ang mali ng governo natin dapat gawing nila sa mga tumutulong sa bayan ng madali. hindi tama yan dapat mmabilis gawin nila paano yung iba hindi marunong at pahirap ang ginagagwa nila……
how to get an application form for renewal of passport?can i go to other dfa office like san fernando,pampanga or i can only renew my passport in dfa main office…i want to know immediately..thank you….
i just want to share our experience with the new DFA system. my husband has a job offer for a middle east work that is good only until end of May but his passport is in bad condition since one of our nieces accidentally found it and played with it, unfortunately it was torn into pieces esp the first page where all the personal info is. we never bothered to have it fixed bec we dont have plans of using our passports for the next five years or so bec we made life long plans of staying within the country then the job offer came that he couldn’t resist. so right now we are racing through the deadline. accd to their call center if it is an OFW that needs a rush passport, we can call their DFA hotlines to get an appointment date different from what the call center gives. the call center rep advised us that as long as we have a job order, contract, plane ticket, or any proof that it is should really be in rush then they can accomodate our request esp he is an OFW, they specifically intended these numbers for rush processing. i tried to call the six phone numbers that the rep gave me but none of those are good numbers, as in nothing works! it is either i get a fax tone, a wrong number or a busy tone. we thought this is no help to us, so we decided to go there personally. we have his job order, this document is very difficult to get bec agencies dont easily give out copies like this bec this can be taken advnatage of if placed in wrong hands like illegal recruiters, luckily he was hired by the employer so we got a copy of the job order. then he came to DFA without making a phone appointment, everyone who has the same fate as us needed to pass through CPAC (not sure of the exact name of that dept) and they screen and validate the “rushness” of the documents presented by the applicants. the CPAC officer denied us saying that job order is not enough, they needed a POEA approved contract. we reasoned out that we cannot get one since he doesnt have a passport yet to start with the processing of his employment abroad. what adds to the burden of this is, as if they really dont care and as if they wouldnt want to extend assistance to the applicants. my husband ask on what could be done with this and they just say they cant do anything. we asked our lawyer friend for advise and he said that we can ask a high ranking official such as a military general or the mayor for an endorsement letter, DFA has a courtesy lane that can help us process the passport and have it overnighted to us. we went to the city hall to request for an endorsement letter. since elections just turned up and the incumbent mayor lost the election then everyone in the city hall will be losing their jobs and they are not in good mood to help us out. i understand how they felt but i disagree to their unprofessionalism towards work. i found out that they are still employed until the 15th so they should still help us out. the next thing we are trying (and hoping for this to workout) is to get an endorsement letter from a military official. we trying to tap all of our connections to get one. another option we have is to go to a provincial branch of DFA to get one, maybe they are more open hearted and hear us out. maybe, DFA’s process is fast enough to help out the applicants but i think they should also take into consideration the different possible scenarios of applicants such as giving out good hotline numbers to help us along the process. can anyone advise us of any other options? our time is running out and my husband still needs to undergo a medical exam after getting a passport and he must be out of the country before the month ends. he is still eager to exhaust all possible options we have. i think this is now the right time to say help!!!

Hello, Kailangan us ng urgent passport this month pwede po bang mag apply directly to the DFA office not using the appointment system?
In my opinion “medyo abala ” pa ang appointment system na yan imbis na mapadali bibigyan ka pa ng schedule na di mo na magagamit pa ang passport. So pls. look for the best and easiest way other than this.Thanks!
to milee
just contact their customer sevice about that.maybe they have another requirements you needed.

do we really need to use the appointment system in getting passport,because I need it this month, I tried to apply appointment system but my schedule will be on August,and its too late,,,
I lost my appointment paper for my passport renewal which is scheduled on the 22nd of July. Yesterday I went to DFA to get another copy but instead employees there told me to just call (02)7371000 which I did….The one who answered the phone gave me the website where I can get a print out along with my reference number etc…This morning I was browsing the one that they gave me but I can’t find it. (www.passport.com.ph/print).
Does anybody know how to find it and what other site I can log in?
Thank you and hope you can help me.
My kindest regards,
Eric

We have a daughter in the Philippines and her passport will be expired on December 2010. We are just wondering why her appearance date is on September 13, 2010, I think the date is too long and we need our daughter to be here in Dubai before the end of August 2010. We are so worried that our daughter will not be accepted in her school as a late enrolly. Is it possible for her to speed-up her passport the earliest time? We would appreciate your reply asap.
