mga sis pampanga marquee mall lang ata ang walang kailangang appointement kaso malayo

[Half_Lifer26]

Ba't ganun? Nag apply ako ng appointment sa DFA website tapos nag fill up ako ng form tapos nung mamimili na ako ng date for appointment eh halos lahat ng date eh walang available slots?
Talaga bang wala ng masyadong slots? Tiningnan ko sa ibang branch ganun din, mga wala ng slot.
Pwede bang mag renew ng passport kahit walang appointment? Yung walk-in lang?
Thanks sa mga reply..

[SOFIEMAE]

You still need an appointment pa rin sis kahit for renewal ka lang... nasa March na siguro mga schedules  try mo... sa mga passport agencies feb slots meron pa sila...

[margauxkhloe]

Yes sis need pa rin. Ako renewal din. Early December pa ko nagpa appointment. Pero ang nakuha kong slot, today na. Jan 27, Aseana.

How long can a passport be unclaimed?

[mama squeak!]

Antagal nga ng mga appointment slots na available. I scheduled for renewal last Jan 3 ang available na that time was February. I got yung 7:30AM slot ng Feb 4 sa Aseana.

Hi. May appointment na ako for passport renewal sa Megamall. Is is true na di na kailangan ng supporting documents basta may ID at dala mo old passport mo? Nakalagay sa website ng dfa need pa pero sabi ng brother ko nung nagparenew siya sa megamall hindi daw siya hinanapan ng supporting documents. Sa Feb. 3 na kasi appointment ko.

[mama squeak!]

^what I will bring are two valid picture IDs (SSS, driver's license) and my expiring passport. Importante lang is ma-establish na ikaw talaga yung applicant/owner of the passport.

[young_maiden]

Thanks po. So no problem na pala ako. I have my old passport plus TIN ID and my alumni ID. Thanks po ulit.

[bipolarbear]

i have my appointment sa alimall on the first week of february. will they let me keep my old passport? it expires in july pa

[mrs_mcta]

^Yes, but I think bubutasan na nila to void it.

[minatay91]

@chikit
sis is that reply for me po? I renewed my passport last year but havent claimed it pa.. october ata siya na.valid..

[chikit]

^Yes up to 6 months lang po. You need to claim it na sayang naman ang pila pag di nakuha.

[minatay91]

Thanks sis chikit

[chicafabulosa]

@young maiden, is your TIN liek the one issued by SSS? Kasi if its like yung carton na binibigay nila, they wont honor it. It should be PVC id type as per my tita who got her TIN ID declined thrice by Megamall. Finally on her fourth attempt, pumasa na sya. But she never gave her tin na kasi di nga daw valid

[young_maiden]

^ Hala sis. Salamat sa info. Iyong TIN ID ko iyong gawa lang sa papel na pinalaminate ko pa. Naku. Iyon lang ang government issued ID ko. Pwede kaya Alumni ID and old college ID? Hindi sila government-issued.

[23mirAmir]

hi mga sis, just want to ask if meron na dito na-issue-han ng bagong passport design.. Gusto ko na sana mag-renew kasi pina extend ko lang yung sa amin ng anak ko last year.. TIA

[chicafabulosa]

Yes pwede yang alumni id, get ka ng postal id, accepted nila na un kasi pvc and kino consider na sya na govt issued id. Sss id. Kasi tita ko this time she presented sss id, postal and employment id.

@23miramir, i just received my passport last week, so far old design pa rin sya. Wala pa naman yata definite date when iro roll out nila. Kasi sabi nila before pag nagrenew ng January. We renewed our passports mid January na nga pero old design pa rin naprint sa passports namin

[honeybunny]

how long will it usually take pag process renewal ng passport? mga 1 hour ba?

also, my only ID's are company ID, voter's ID, old passport (expires august 2016). i can bring my birth certificate kaso it was issued more than a year na. is that ok? thanks
