Lost Passport

[martinbr 1]

I was informed by my wife this morning that our daughter who still is in the philippines lost her pasport on the way to the bank to pick up some money. I know she has to go to the local consulate after a month for a waiting period to see if it shows up. But I am confused on the fees of a lost passport application.

When my wife was there before she came to the U.S. she told me they cost around $35.00 per passport. But what I am seeing on the manila embassy site is it's around $105.00. Has the price gone up that much in the last two years?

Also besides having to bring a certified copy of a birth certificate, photos, what else does she have to bring? Does she have to file a avadavit for lost passport form and have it notorized by a local attorney also? It's hard to get this info out of my wife because of her english skills.

thanks,

Sorry about your daughter losing her passport.

Go to the Travel State Government website link below. It seems to have information on what to do when losing a passport when in another country. Maybe it can help.

Hello, the Philippines passport fee is 1200 pesos plus 180 pesos delivery fee (this is optional, but very convenient for u do not need to go back to the passport office they will deliver it right in front of your door) so all in all it is about 35 dollars... She needs to bring an affidavit of loss and it will cost her 10 dollars maximum, and then she needs to bring her birth certificate (orginal copy from nso) and Identification Card.

She must go to the new building which is near SM Mall of Asia (just in case she doesn' know).

The important thing is that she must go online to have an appointment, this is the difficult part because appointment sometimes take a month before her appointment date.

Are you sure about the appointment? My wife originally did not have to make a online appointment. She got in on the first day by drop in. But this is down in Bacolod City at the center where the consulars office is for passport applications. Are you talking about up in Manila?

thanks,

I was informed by my wife this morning that our daughter who still is in the philippines lost her pasport on the way to the bank to pick up some money. I know she has to go to the local consulate after a month for a waiting period to see if it shows up. But I am confused on the fees of a lost passport application.

When my wife was there before she came to the U.S. she told me they cost around $35.00 per passport. But what I am seeing on the manila embassy site is it's around $105.00. Has the price gone up that much in the last two years?

Also besides having to bring a certified copy of a birth certificate, photos, what else does she have to bring? Does she have to file a avadavit for lost passport form and have it notorized by a local attorney also? It's hard to get this info out of my wife because of her english skills.

There seems to be some confusion here, so maybe you can clarify for us. Is this a US passport or a Philippines passport that needs to be replaced? US Passports cost $105 as you mentioned above. Philippines passport cost 950 pesos standard or 1250 pesos rush plus the fee for the police report and the loss passport fee. You should be able to find all of the applicable fees and make an appointment for a Philippines passport on the DFA website that someone else linked to elsewhere in this thread. Yes, she will need a notarized affidavit stating how the passport was lost/stolen. My wife lost her Philippines passport a few months back and that's what she had to do to get it replaced and this was in the Metro Manila area.

Daughter's passport was lost too, here's what I did.

1. Fill up Application form

2. Police report - go to the police station where her barangay is under and narrate the circumstances behind the loss.

3. Affidavit of Loss - once she has the police report,go to a lawyer that will help her make this affidavit.

4. Letter asking for the 15 days clearing to be waived.

5. NSO birth certificate

6. Parent/s passport

7. School ID

8. Paid expedited fee of $1,200

Go to the DFA website and check for requirements specific to your situation.

Tell her to go to the DFA office in Bacolod and speak to the RIG department. People under RIG are lawyers that deal with cases like this or other complicated ones.

I applied for my daughter's passport last March 20th, I was told it will be released on the 6th of May. [This was minus the clearing period], but passport was released on the 20th of May, because of technical delays. From Mindanao I decided to travel and stay in Manila to claim my daughter's passport as we were press for time. She needed her medical at least before the last week of May because her interview was last June 1st. This was the reason behind the waiver. I kept on calling DFA from May 2nd up until they told me to pick it up on the 20th of May here in Manila. But to do this I had to ask for an endorsement from the office of the regional director where I originally applied. The whole process very daunting.

It is also true that it's by appointment only nowadays. The earliest right now is 2 months away my friend just scheduled one. If you are in no rush tell her to apply for her passport first as she needs this for her medical and before proceeding to schedule her interview.

Good luck!....You can pm me if you have some questions.
