HELLO KABABAYAN! HELLO WORLD!

Hi, was doing my homework about to renew my Philippines passport that is about to expire January 2013. I am currently residing here in the US and my Removal of Condition is on process(February 2012 Filer).

On the website I am looking at now says:

BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR PASSPORT RENEWAL

1. Personal appearance is required in all cases (including applicants who are 65 years old and above and minors who are below 18 years old). Application by mail is no longer allowed;

is this for correct?

oh yeah, we did not report our marriage to Philippines Consulate, I found out it is quite a requirement to renew my passport, because my old passport is under my maiden name.

Thanks! Hope everyone is having a good day

Where do you live? Check out the outreach calendar on the Phil embassy website in your jurisdiction, they travel to various locations so you don't have to.

You can report marriage and get a new passport at the same time. ROM is $25, and passport is $60 + $19 for pre-paid shipping from embassy folks, or you can buy your own before you get there. I would ensure it is trackable, however. It will take up to two months to get your new passport.

Call your local philippine consulate in your jurisdiction. I think they can help you re-new your passport.

Your welcome....I believe for N.C. you will use the actual Phil. Embassy in Washington D.C.

In March of last year my gal renewed her passport and reported our marriage at an consular outreach location, I think that is what they call it. This is how we did it: I visited the USA Philippine embassy website and found out which consulate served my location, and it is the Washington, DC embassy. I then learned that when I joined the email list for the Washington, DC location, I started getting all of the press release emails. Well, during early March the embassy stated sending out email(s) giving date, time, and location(s) of upcoming consulate outreach location(s) and what could be done at the outreach location and what was needed to accomplish each task. FWIW, I live in southeast Georgia, and my gal and I went to an outreach event event just outside of Atlanta. A 200-mile drive versus a 900+ mile drive to Washington, DC.

The problem, at that time, for me was learning of an outreach location after all of the appointment slots were already filled. Again, at that time, the consulate website would remove the outreach location "announcement" and email and from its website as soon as the appointment slots were filled. Joining the embassy website eliminated this problem and it was a very interesting event to attend and observe, the consulate outreach event.

Yeah, you gotta make a person appearance for the passport renewal so the consulate people can take your photo. The biggest thing for the ROM is having 4 pictures of each spouse and, of course, the approximate size and the form. I saw some couples with pictures but without the form and was given a copy of the form, had to obtain and pay for 4 copies of the document, fill it out, and return the borrowed copy. Shoot, I even knew of less than 10 people who showed up without appointments get taken care of at the end of that day. But, I wouldn't count on it happening to you if you show up without an appointment, better to see it happen or not to someone else first...

Regards,

Sid

For carton025: thank you so much Sid for the information, yeah I looked at their website for what they call an outreach here in our state but it is way farther than if we are going to drive to Washington,lol. So I guess we'll just go directly to their office. Whoa I will keep in mind about bringing those forms all filled up. I really do appreciate you for sharing your experience. Hope you have a wonderful day. Louella

One more thing...Report your marriage to the Philippines Consulate which has jurisdiction over the location where you were married.
