Passport Thread 9 - Check first page for DFA's Website

sabi nung sa agency naghihigpit daw ulit ngayon dfa kaya ang daming mga hinihingi kahit renewal lang. nakakainis sila ha.

[mama squeak!]

^sis, nakalagay naman sa list of requirements ng DFA kung anong pwedeng documents/IDs na isa-submit for passport renewal. As long as you have those requirement no reason na maghigpit sila.

[nageinna]

^before kasi sis pag renewal diba they would just ask for the old passport then may pages ka na dapat iphoto copy dun. but nung nagparenew si hubby last week, he was asked pa birth certificate and marriage contract ng mom niya. hassle pa sobra kasi need pa bumalik ni hubby for another interview. then yun nga sabi ng agency medyo mahigpit daw ngayon dahil dumadami na rin daw ulit yung mga nagpapagawa na fake birth certificate.

[rave21lala]

parang biglaan naman yung paghihigpit nila. last month hindi naman ganon.

[mama squeak!]

Hubby renewed his passport last month din. Kasama sa supporting docs nya are photocopies of our marriage contract, birth certificate & his old passport (including na rin photocopies ng pages required). Nakalagay sa DFA website yung mga supporting docs.

I remember when I renewed mine in 2011 meron din akong birth cert & marriage contract na dala. So yun talaga requirements nila.

[rave21lala]

i renewed mine last month in megamall. although ang dami kong dalang supporting documents, ang pinansin at kinuha lang sa akin are the original and photocopy of my old passport. baka pag married kailangan talaga ng birth cert at marriage contract.

Nagpa-renew ako nung Friday lang. Hassle free siya. Hehe. Dala ko lang photocopy ng passport, at passport mismo. I spent 1 hr and 30 mins lang.

Nakuha na nina hubby at daughter passport nila yesterday. Ako sa 3/6 pa. Lapit na din

Hi! Ask ko lang sa passport ba ng bata blank lang talaga yung holder's signature? Sa passport kasi ng 3yr old daughter ko hindi naman din ako pinasign nung sa dfa kaya blank lang siya. Ganun ba talaga? Thanks

[theflygirl]

^Ipapa-sign din yan sa parent ng FOR: cos the kids don't know how to pa naman. When I refunded the PH tax of my nonrevenue tickets before at DOT main PTA ofc, they made me sign my son's pspt. On another trip din, I was made to sign my daughter's pspt sa airport..from then on, automatic na ko to sign my kids' pspts.

Applied for passport for me and my 1 year old son last January 29. February 20 daw ang release. Dineliver sa bahay, February 23, magkahiwalay pa. First na dumating yung akin. After 30 minutes, may LBC na naman na dumating for my son's passport.

[princess lorraine]

^^thanks so much sis! 

[jeloeight]

Need to renew my passport this March pero wala ng available appointment slot sa mga dates ng March. Is there any other way? Kindly help. Urgent po ito. TIA!

[bellanjelah]

@jeloeight sis thanks sa pagpost mo, nag-panic ako bigla akong nagset ng appointment wala na ngang slot for March, i picked April 2.

[caprice]

^ alam ko mate-trace yan sa Immigration natin lalo na sa Singapore. at saka alam ko hindi naman nagbabago ang passport number natin. not sure, pa-correct na lang if mali ako. ngayon pa lang ako nagpa-renew e hindi ko binusisi kung nag-iba passport number.

-- ay, magche-change daw passport number? pero i'm sure kita sa immigration yan unless di marunong mag-search yung officer.

[jeloeight]

^thanks for the reply sis:-) hala,pwede pala ma trace yun kahit iba na passport number? Upon renewal,automatic wala ng records yung previous flights ko?

[cherry*coke]

Meron bang sira ang site nila? kasi ang weird naman. lahat nalang ng dates walang available slots. Sa buong month ng May, June, July, August. kakaiyak

[bellanjelah]

^sis palagay ko wala namang glitches site nila talaga lang sigurong naubos na slots for those months, good thing nakuha ko April2 slot pero at 3:30pm na yun.

[wannabepreggy]

^^baka di pa open ang May onwards kaya naka blocked... Nag pareserve ako last saturday, april 2 for my MIL, ang closed that time is for march booking.

[mama squeak!]

Yesterday nakakuha ako ng appointment for my in-law on April 17 at 9:30AM. Was wanting an earlier date sana pero wala ng availability. I'm assuming peak season for renewal kasi since summer vacation kaya madali maubos ang slots.
