Overview of the online passport appointment process

The online passport appointment process is the first step in obtaining a Philippine passport. This system allows applicants to make an appointment online with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and is available to all Philippine passport applicants in the country.

The online passport appointment process begins with the applicant going to the DFA online appointment website and selecting the place, date, and time of the appointment.

The applicant will then be taken to a confirmation page which will include the details of the appointment. The applicant will then be asked to provide all the necessary documents as well as the pertinent information needed for the application.

After this step is complete, the applicant can print out the completed passport application form and confirm the appointment. Once the appointment is confirmed, the applicant can then proceed to the DFA office for their passport application.

5 steps in booking your DFA online appointment

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has made it easier to schedule an online appointment for a Philippine passport. To ensure a smooth application process, please follow these two steps:

1. Create a DFA Online Appointment Account.

Visit the DFA website and register for an account. Be sure to provide accurate information when creating your account, as this will be used for the passport application.

2. Schedule an Online Appointment.

After creating your account, you can now proceed to book an appointment at your preferred DFA office. Simply choose the date and time of your appointment and provide the necessary information. You may be asked to upload required documents and pay the passport processing fee. Once confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email with your appointment details.

3. Required documents for the online passport application

Before proceeding with the online passport application, ensure that you have all the required documents. These include a valid government-issued ID, a Birth Certificate, a Marriage Contract (if applicable), and a Community Tax Certificate (Cedula). Make sure that all documents are valid and in good condition, as these are essential for the processing of your passport application.
