^ last Sept pa ako nag-apply(for baby)/renew(for me). Pag Saturday yata e express processing lang ang meron sa Megamall (correct me if i'm wrong, mga sis). Basta nung kami, i paid for express processing, then we were advised na me konting delay lang daw pero few days lang. I received our passports in about 10 calendar days yata yun.

[summersong]

Same question as above. Laganap ba ang delays ngayon sa release ng passports? Mine was supposed to be released last week, wala pa rin hanggang ngayon.

[pinklilac]

^ sis dumating na yung sa mom ko june 30 na yata, so lampas na sa time frame na binigay.
Last year kumuha anak ko pp mabilis naman.
ano kaya nangyayari sa DFA dyan?

[Elfganda]

Question lang po... kung 2 years old kailangan pa ba nang appointment sa megamall? Apply ko sana daughter ko dun sa megamall kasi mas malapit kami dun.. Problem lang wala nang slot avàilable this July...TIA.

My yayas passport was supposed to be delivered daw yesterday Jul 2. Pero hindi pa na-deliver until now.  Though ok Lang din cause she forgot to leave the claim form with our all-around help.. NASA Baguio kami ngayon. So I guess may delay nga.

[summersong]

Passport arrived just today. Date of release was supposedly June 26th. I paid for express processing.  Na-release ang passport ko sa LBC on the evening of July 3rd.

Thing was, mas nairita ako sa lousy service ng LBC. It took them 4 days to deliver my passport na dapat overnight lang. Mahirap kumontact sa hotline nila for follow up. The agents made several promises and excuses over the phone, including one time na brown out daw sa kanila kaya wala silang ma-look up na info. Hello. For a business na dependent sa computers wala silang back up power..?   

Ngayon lang ako naka-experience ng delay sa pagrenew at aberya sa delivery ng passport. Before, sa ibang courier ako nagpapadeliver, wala namang naging problems. If I had known na pangit ang services ng LBC if an issue ever arose, sana I chose na lang to pick up the passport myself sa DFA.

[smoothie]

LBC lang ba ang accredited nila?

Naala ko nun last time, via AIR21 ako nagpa-ship kasi mas effecient sila.

[summersong]

^ yup, LBC lang ang courier nila ngayon. At least that was the case sa megamall where I applied for renewal kaya no choice.

Years ago you were allowed to choose from a few other couriers. Sana maibalik uli ito.

Happened to my fiance before at kinabukasan na yung flight.
Ang ginawa namin, sabi ng isang tao na nakausap namin na hindi taga DFA try daw namin sa airport if nababasa pa yung passport sa scanner. If pwede pa, dont worry. If not, hindi daw papayagan umalis. Pagdating namin airport, pinatry agad namin. Buti nalang readable pa yung chip or something.

November pa naman, matagal pa baka umabot pa yung bago mong passport.

[charmed_gal]

^  ah ok sayang kase last year pa lang ako nag renew ng passport kung papagawa agad ako ng bago. so punta na lang ako ng airport at ipacheck medyo hassle nga lang hehe. thanks 

[sum.mer]

Fully booked na early dates sa online passport renewal ng DFA. PAg sa phone ba makakapagrequest ng earlier date? Thanks!

Hindi naman alam ng tiga-DFA ito! Nag pa renew ako yesterday (21) I asked this kasi sa AUG 30 ang flight ko. Ang tinuro lang sa akin ay yung express or pa-rush ko raw. So ayun.

[SOFIEMAE]

Kaloka, ano ba yan... ano ginawa mo sis? Sana pinabasa mo sa kanila yung link heheh...

[smoothie]

Express na lang. Parang "normal" dun kasi. Aug 4 ang delivery ng passport ko. Sabi ng courier, nag 2go ako. Pinaka mahabang delay daw ay 1 week. sana totoo nga.
