DFA ePassport Now Available Through DFA Passport Appointment System
Bonjour. Mabuhay.
For those who don't know it yet.
In a move to constantly upgrade its efficient service to the public for passport application and passport renewal, the Office of Consular Affairs (OCA) of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has relocated to a state-of-the-art building located at the corner of Bradco Ave. and Macapagal Blvd. in Aseana Business Park, Paranaque City, just a few minutes away from the Mall of Asia. Equipped with fiber-optic lines, CCTV cameras and other high-tech communications infrastructure, the new OCA-DFA building is poised to set the new standard in government offices, providing the public with fast, efficient, and comfortable service.
In the new location all applications for ePassports (electronic passports) will only be accepted and processed via the DFA appointment system. Applicants may set a passport appointment by going online through its dedicated website www.passport.com.ph or by calling the DFA Appointment Hotline 737-1000. The new system aims to bring the passport application for passport renewal and new passport processing service at par with world class consular services. The service also comes with an option for passport delivery. The new appointment system is available for free. The system is designed to help eliminate long queues formed with the old walk-in system, as the applicants would be pre-processed using information given via the hotline or online.
