HI EVERYONE:

I NEED SOMEONE HELP ON HOW TO RENEW MY PASSPORT. I AM FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND I LIVE IN BILIRAN ISLAND LEYTE BY THE WAY. I AM PLANNING OF GOING HOME THIS CHRISTMAS AND SPEND HOLIDAY WITH MY FAMILY. MY PASSPORT WILL EXPIRE ON OCTOBER 2010 AND I NEED TO GET A NEW ONE BEFORE THEN. ALSO IN MY PASSPORT I STILL USE MY LAST NAME BECAUSE I GOT IN THE U.S. AS A K-1 VISA. I GOT MARRIED AND NOW I WANTED TO CHANGE IT BUT I DONT KNOW HOW.

You need to go to this link, Philippine Embassy in Washington, DC, and read the requirements and download the forms.

PASSPORTS

What documents should I submit if I wish to renew my passport?

The regular requirements for the renewal of passports (for holders of green passports) are:

1.Original old or expired passport;

2.Accomplished passport application form (affix left and right thumb marks on spaces provided in the presence of a Consular Officer) and affidavit of immigrant status;

3.Three (3) recent photos (4.5 cm x 3.5 cm), ROYAL BLUE BACKGROUND, taken in a photo studio or professionally taken within the last six months before application;

4.Photocopy of passport data page;

5.Photocopy of permanent resident card, work permit or record of landing; and

6.The passport processing fee of USD$50.

If you are holding a brown passport, you should submit the documentary proof of your complete middle name (original and one photocopy) in addition to requirements A to F. You may present your birth certificate, baptismal certificate, landing papers or your driver’s license as the documentary proof of middle name.

Applicants should also submit a self-addressed US registered Mail, FEDEX or UPS envelope for the release of their passport along with the regular requirements.

And if you have not done so, you also need to complete the Report of Marriage. That information is on the same website.
