we have a slot this Saturday, renewal namin ni hubby then first time application kay Baby,
Medyo hinde lang ako ako confident sa Ids at supporting docs ko.
Pag renewal ba strict pa din sa 1 Id  + 2 supporting?
Anyway go na din, pag nareject, try namin magwalkin na lang since may baby naman.

done with out passport renewal ni hubby + first time application ni baby.
Mabilis lang siya.
tama nga ako wala naman need na ids pa except sa photocopy ng old passport (for renewal) wala kasi ako naaala na ganun nung last akong nagparenew. Original copy lang ng marriage cert since nagpachange name na ako. For baby orig birth cert.
Our slot is 10am, dumating kami dfa 9:30 ang dami na agad tao. pero dahil kay baby una kami sa pila.
less than 1 hour lang yung process, ang tagal lang yung ibang baby nauna samin ang hirap picturan.

Mga sis, wala pa ring slots for January no? Sana next week meron na.
Need ko iresked yung Dec 29 slot ko.
Buti na lang may option na pala sila for rescheduling. Dati wala eh kaya no choice but to cancel the appointment then apply for a new one..

[hushush]

May inilabas na palang slots for January hanggang March kahapon.
Mabuti nagising ako ngayon at bigla ko naalala.. Pagbukas ko Jan17 yun nakita kong available. Pero Jan31 na yun nakuha ko slot. Grabe! Whew!
Book na ng slot mga sis!
Sana valid for 10yrs na to!

[mysterioza_me]

^Yup andami na nga. Nagchecked ako last week open pa 1st week ng January, napa-sked namin pamangkin ko for January 3.

[hushush]

^last week pa pala yun sis? E 2weeks ago pa ako nagche-check everyday..walang slot. Baka last friday lang nila inilabas...

Di bale at least hanggang march na ang inilabas nila. Masaya na ako kasi marerenew ko na din after 5yrs hehe.

[mysterioza_me]

^Last friday night ako nagcheck or madaling-araw ng sat.

[Miss Taken]

Finally nakapag booked na din ako for my mom. Buti meron pang slots for January sa DFA Alabang kasi maganda yung experience ko sa site nung kumuha ako ng passport last year. Ang bilis lang at hindi madami yung tao.

[mysterioza_me]

10yrs na kaya ang validity nun? Wala pa din ata balita kung kelan ba start nung 10yrs validity na passport.

[Miss Taken]

^ As per the news sis, starting January 2018 magiging 10 years na talaga yung validity

[thebratinella]

Ang bilis maubusan ng slots for Jan and Feb. Earliest avail appointment is March 7. Nakapagbook na ako for our family today before lunch time. Yung daughter ko 8 years old na by then kaya I had to fill out the online form for her.

[mysterioza_me]

^^oh wow ang swerte ng mga magrerenew at kukuha ng passport starting next year. I wonder how much na ang passport nun.

[mommynin8]

^apparently same price pa din, P950 for normal processing, P1200 for express

[mysterioza_me]

^Sana nga same price pa din and mas maraming sheets naman siguro ito since 10yrs ang validity. Gusto ko magsisi n kumuha agad ako ng passport this year haha.

[mommynin8]

^oo nga sana mas maraming sheets.  We still have 2 years to go bago namin kailangan magrenew, sana maayos pa nila yung processing ng passports.

[krabby_patty]

I had my passport renewed last monday. My sister asked DFA personnel if the 10 year validity will take effect next year. No one confirmed it

Passport renewal took roughly 2.5 hours. Not bad for a monday!

[oolong1]

April 2018 is already showing in the online appointment website however, we can't do reservations yet because dates are still grayed out.  Do you have any idea sisses on the possible date that they will open slots for April?  TIA

[hushush]

^abangan mo sis 2nd week of feb or march. Pag wala pa, araw-araw mo lang icheck.
--
I will renew my passport by the end of this month. Yun PSA doc ba mga sis strict ba sila na dapat newly requested from PSA office?
Meron kasi akong PSA doc na ginamit ko for visa application last year (october), sayang naman kung kukuha ulit ako ng bago

[engr_neechee]

Ubos lahat ng available appointment.  Kailan kaya magkakaroon ulit?

[mysterioza_me]

^Start checking ng katapusan ng Jan and Feb sis. Or if you want punta ka sa mga travel agency normally may sked sila na mas maaga compared sa online mas mataas lang ng konti ang bayad.
