Dfa passport renewal

Renewing a Philippine passport within the U.S has become slightly more complicated due to the fact that the Philippines now makes use of the more secure electronic passport or ePassport.

This is supposed to uphold and increase the integrity of the Philippine passport as a chip will be inserted into the back of your passport book which will hold all your biographical and biometric information. This was implemented in May 2010.

You must go into a Philippine embassy or consulate general in order to apply for a passport renewal.
