Passport Questions...

[tabula_rasa]

Hi, to those who renewed their PH passports recently, how long does the whole process take in the DFA? I've read in some blogs that even if you have an appointed time, the whole thing can last for hours, with one blogger stating she had to wait for 5 hours because yung mga late sa previous appointments, inaaccomodate pa sa next sched? Thank you

Hello po. first time kong mag-apply ng passport sa May and may mga questions sana ako na sana matulungan ninyo ako. Thanks po.

1. Ang IDs ko lang na availabe are my company ID and postal ID. ok na kaya yung mga yun?

2. Mali ang wedding date ng parents ko sa birth certificate ko. Magiging problema kaya yun sa application ko?

Maraming salamat.

They are very strict as far as ID is concern. They prefer government issued ID's like SSS, TIN, voter's ID, etc.

Try to bring some school records or old school ID's.

Your parents wedding date is not an issue. What is important is your name (spelling) and your birthdate.

Depending on the queue. i suggets if you can get early morning time slot mas m,abuti kasi mas mabilis. Pag tanghali na kasi mahaba na talaga pila. Mabilis **** ang processing, marami lang talaga tao.

Useless lang yang online appointment. nakatipid lang sila sa printing ng application forms. Kakatapos ko lang mabuwisit dyan sa DFA.

Appointment ko 8:30 ng umaga. Pinapapasok na kami ng 7:30. Pagpasok mo merong desk na mag check ng papers mo kung tama ang appoinment time mo sa form. Ang ***** nga lang at hindi pa i check kung kumpleto documents mo. Alam mo namang maraming mahirap umintinding Pinoy sa atin.

In short papasukin ka at pauupuin sa mahahabang silya na para naman daw di ka mahirapan sa pagpila at paghihintay. Tapos may mag reremind ng requirements mo. Dapat sa pagpasok mo pa lang ay sinasabi na yon para di nasisira ang pila. Dami pa naman pasaway.

Pinapapasok pa din ang mga pasaway na late na sa appointment nila. kaya nakakadagdag pa sa haba ng piila at paghihintay. Iilang windows pa din sa loob ang bukas (8 out of 16 ang may tao) para i check ang docs mo at gagawa ng order of payment kung regular o rush yang passport mo.

Akyat ka sa taas para magbayad. tatlong window lang ang bukas sa dami ng nagbabayad.

Kuha ka ng number para sa encoding. usual nyan is mga 200-300 bago ka matawag.

Punta ka sa courier para magbayad.

Lecheng buhay to. Ang laki na ng kinikita, di pa damihan ang mga nagpo process. kaya ang dami pa din tao at haba ng pila.

7:30 ako nandoon. natapos ako bago mag 11 am. Buset.

^ That's weird. Nagapply kami ng boyfriend ko, it took him an hour or so. Ako kasi me extra step. Tataka nga rin ako, dun sa application ilang beses na ililist yung requirements. Dun sa ipriprint mo, me requirements pa rin. Alam ko nakapost sa labas yung requirements. Pero ang dami parin nagpapaphoto copy. Dami pa ring kulang ang dalang documents.

Puno yung seat nung dumating kami. Andun na kami sa last na set na upuan. Then the guard asked the last 2 lines to follow him. Dinala kami dun sa Agency Application wala na kasi atang nagproprocess. Mabilis naman wala pa 11am nacheck na yung documents ko. Regarding sa checking ng documents, yun ata yung purpose ng Step 1: I validate yung requirements mo at bigyan ka ng resibo. Meron pang guy na nagalit dun sa gf/wife niya kasi bigla na lang hinagis yung application dun sa babae kasi short bond paper.

Difference natin nung pumunta kami sa payment walang pila, isa na lang yung bukas kasi siguro malapit na lunch. Tapos since sobrang dami ng booth dun sa data capture wala pang kalahating oras yung inintay namin para sa "photoshoot". Natapos siya before 12 including yung payment for delivery.

Siguro sa time din. Pag siguro ganun kaaga dami me appointment tapos yung kinuha namin alanganing oras.

Hi guys.. I have an appointment sa DFA on July 2.. do you think okay tong isusubmit ko na requirements:

NSO birth cert.
TOR with Dry Seal
Old Student I.D.
Nbi Clearance for Travel Abroad
Postal I.D.
SSS E-1 (Certified true Copy ) Nawala ko kasi ee
Philhealth (Okay kaya to?)

[pakwan]

2 factor lang nagpapatagal sa pag process ng application mo ng passport.

una ay, may incompetent na system at tauhan ng dfa. alam ng madami ay ayaw pa nilang punuin ang kanilang counter. ang sistema ay sablay, sa ibang bansa, basta tama mafill up mo ang form , ma i attach ang form. together with birth cert (kung kailangan) or national ID (kung kailangan).
ang payment ay nagagawa online. (iaatach na lang ang payment confirmation for proof of payment).

kung ganito ba ang sistema ay wala ng siksikan. walang ng appointment, walang logistic na hahabulin dahil sa malaking opisina, gwardya na masungit, mahabang break na mag staff.


pangalawa, mga bobong aplikante. nakalagay na website during their online application kung ano ang mga requirements, ano gagawin pagdating sa dfa office, ewan ko ba kung bakit may nagkakamali. matalino ba ang pinoy kung ganito ang ginagawa nil a sa pag aaply ng pasaporte? pano kung pag fill up ng mga embarkation card? mali mali na baka di pa papasukin ng Io sa ibang bansa. tsk tsk tsk.

sana magbasa ng mabuti at follow the step by step para di maging pahirap sa bang tang matinong nag apply.

Correct! mas mabilis pa nga pala yung mga assisted ng mga travel agencies. in bulk kasi processing nila. medyo mataas lang mababayaran mo. siguro mga P2,200 ang passport pag sa travel agencies mo pinagawa

Hello, I have a passport query:

My bag was stolen last May and inside it, andun yung passport ko with US Visa, Postal ID (which are my 2 gov't issued IDs) and other IDs. Natira sakin company ID nalang and other docs like NSO Birth Certificate and ITR. What's the fastest way to get a new passport? May affidavit of loss na ako, and na fax ko na to sa US Embassy for them to cancel my visa. May 2 stamps of travel na yung passport na nawala, both to the States. Pero mag eexpire na din ang passport ko ng Oct 2012. Renew na din ba ako if ever? Help pls.

Thanks!

Is it possible to request for an earlier release of the passport? I have July 4 as date of release which was fine with me until today when my work required me to leave for Bangkok on the 3rd. My boss already prepared a letter for DFA Manila requesting for the earlier release and stated the reason why and tomorrow I guess I have to go to DFA myself with that letter, would that be enough? Or should I BEG to make this happen? Is there a specific department I should go to or do I wait in line again?

[Narnian_King]

Ok po na ang+ NBI Clearance purpose ay: Travel Asia. Hindi ba big deal un?

For URGENT requests / matters like that, you have to go directly to the OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DFA Bldg, Ground Floor. Doon mo dalhin letter mo at makiusap. They have the power to grant your request or not. Good luck.
