Sisses when do you renew your passport? Like 3 months before expiry? 6 months? Or sa month ng expiry?

[chicafabulosa]

Normally 6 mos before expiry. But there was a time I renewed mine a year before the expiry kasi we were talking about a travel abroad and not sure when. So i decided to renew it a year before para walang problem

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ If no planned travels na tatamaan, we usually renew between 9months to one year before expiry. Pinaka-tight renewal ko was 5 months, kasi that time i travelled pa ng March (September expiry).

Mag renew sana kami ng passport ni Hubby and may panganay then get a new one for my Lo kaso lang September na available sched..any way to expedite the appointment?

[mama squeak!]

^keep checking their website minsan kasi meron nagka-cancel ng appointments. Good luck!

when ka nag apply for renewal sis?

[Miss Taken]

^ It's actually for a new passport sis. Applied last June 13 then went back on July 4, normal processing.

[Anewme]

Mga sis,  how about senior citizen pag mag apply ng new passport ilang weeks bago mareleased? Need pa ba mag apply ng online application? Or puede mag walk in? Any idea thanks?

[danda]

^walk-in sis ang senior citizen, no need to apply online.

[snowkeis]

Mga sis, September 3 sched ng sister ko sa DFA lucena branch para sa new passport. Kelan kaya makukuha passport nya? Oct 22 flight nya. Abot pa kaya? :/

[Miss Taken]

^ Yes sis aabot siya. Regular processing is just 15 working days while rush processing is 7 working days.

[sofiameredith]

Pag family appointment, automatic ba na rush processing? Regular processing lang sana kami since di pa naman kami magtatravel any moment.

[Anewme]

^walk-in sis ang senior citizen, no need to apply online.

Talaga sis? Good news kung hindi na need ng appointment, abot ba sis kasi flight ni mother first week  ng October, kung true na regular processing ng passport is 15 working days pag rush 7 days, true ba eto, just to make sure, kasi may nakausap ako dati taga DFA sa OCT- NOV pa daw ang appointment kahit first time or renewal. Kaya gusto ko makasiguro.

[chicafabulosa]

Sis anewme i suggest punta agad mom mo sa DFA. My mom is senior and she doesnt need to do online appointment, she just need to bring her senior citizen id and dun na sya magfi fill up ng form. But make sure na naka photocopy na yung mga docs nya. If first week of october pa, aabot yan basta ayusin na aga dng mom now yung papers. Let's just anticipate na may 2-3 days na delay if delivery. So better na as early as now ayusin na yung passport nya.

[snowkeis]

@Miss Taken: Thank you sis. Nakahinga kami maluwag na. hihi!

Thanks sis, ano ano ba yong complete requirements? Merun na syang marriage contract at NBI at senior ID, ok na ba yan? Sa province sya kasi  mag aaply ng Passport,  Kasi if 15 days talaga ang normal processing at 7 days pag rush e mas ok. Kasi need ko pa yong visa ni mom ko atleast maximum of a month so I think habol sya ng October noh?  Gusto ko lang makasiguro para sure.
