getting a passport

[sweetybabe 0]

Hi everyone! I was really confused about getting my passport. I have a few friends who told me that I have to attend a CFO ( Citizen Filipino Overseas) Seminar before i can get my passport, is this right? but as what i have known CFO seminar is needed but only if you receive your visa.. What if i am going to get a passport and tell them i am get it for the purpose of travel abroad.. would it cause me a problem? i am not sure what to do. I hope somebody can help me.

if you're married to an American Citizen and you decide to use your husband's surname, the DFA people will ask from u a CFO certificate before they would process your passport.

It was the same thing with me. I will just need to go back to CFO when I get my visa for my passport to be stamped.

god bless!

Good to do CFO anyway and get the seminar part out of the way. One less thing you can mark off of your "What has to be done list"!

You're a K-1 beneficiary; hence, you ain't married yet. A CFO seminar is not required for your passport to be issued.
