2. What do I need to renew my Philippine Passport?

The Consulate is receiving applications for the new Machine Readable Passport (MRP) beginning June 02, 2008. The old “green” passport is no longer issued.

Each applicant must personally appear at the Consulate, except for minors 8 years old and below and senior citizens 65 years old and above, and bring with them the following:

Duly accomplished passport application form

Most recent Philippine passport

One (1) copy of the passport data page(s)

For brown passports – copy the pages which show the data and picture of the applicant

Two (2) identical photos taken within the last six months of size 4.5 cm by 3.5 cm on a Royal Blue background. Complete details on photo requirements for the MRP may be viewed at www.dfa.gov.ph/consular/PHOTO%20GUIDELINES.pdf.

USPS Express Mail Postage Stamps

It takes about six (6) weeks to process the MRP as the approved applications are sent to a central processing facility in the Philippines.

If the applicant’s last passport is the brown one – which only shows the applicant’s middle initial, – a copy of any VALID IDENTIFICATION which shows his/her WHOLE MIDDLE NAME must also be provided. Acceptable forms of identification are:

Birth Certificate

Marriage Certificate

Baptismal Certificate

State ID or Driver License, or

Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)

First time applicants must also bring the original and a copy of

NSO certified Birth Certificate, if born in the Philippines; or

Report of Birth, if born outside the Philippines (Please see requirements for Report of Birth)

The fee for the issuance of a passport is $50.00Accepted forms of payment are cash, money order, cashier’s check or bank draft made payable to the Philippine Consulate General. Personal checks, credit or debit cards are not accepted. All consular service fees are non-refundable.
