Hello Fellow Pinays,

Just wanna share this info to those who are applying or renewing their Philippine Passport.

If you don't know where to get the royal blue background passport photo..you can go to any stores that makes id photos like Walmart, CVS,etc and if they don,t have the royal blue background you can buy a royal blue cartolina and make it as your background as what photographer used when I had my photos made today in Atlanta consulate office today.

I paid $39.00 for 2 sets of Passport photo at an Art studio only to find out that you can have your passport photo made when you have your personal appearance at $15.00 for 3 pcs.

I had my personal appearance today and sad to know that they could not find my record that i sent to Washington DC so i have to fill up again and take another photo again with them(even if i submitted already to their DC office.
