How to Renew Philippine Passport?

Every ten years, Philippine passports expire and need to be renewed. Issuance of new passports are done at any office of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).



This article was originally titled "How to Renew Passport in DFA Cebu?" Now I changed it since the process has changed since I last renewed my passport in 2016. Here's the latest basic steps as of 1Q2022.

  1. Confirmed Online Appointment. Link here.
  2. Accomplished Application Form
  3. Personal Appearance
  4. Current ePassport with photocopy of data page
  5. Original PSA authenticated documents that will support the change of name (for some women).
    • Marriage Contract
    • Annotated Birth Certificate
    • Annotated Marriage Contract to show annulment/divorce/court ordered instruction
    • Death Certificate of Spouse

Payment During Booking of Appointment

This is the solution to the problems of the previous system. Before, anyone can just reserve a slot whether they are serious or not in coming at the appointed time. This leads to multiple reservations which are not taken seriously. If you remember the passport processing delays in 2017, this is one of the causes. Now, you have to pay in order to book an appointment. 

How Much Does it Cost?

Regular passport processing which takes 12 business days costs 950 pesos while express processing which takes 6 business days costs 1200 pesos. Delivery fee varies on where you want your passport to be delivered.

For Unique Situations (i.e. lost or damaged passport)

For unique passport renewal situations such as lost or damaged passports, there may be additional requirements and fees. Here's the link -> https://consular.dfa.gov.ph/services/passport/requirements/passport-adult/adult-renewal-epassport

    4. possible. The requirement says just one valid ID and 3 supporting docs. But supporting doc may include an ID. So technically, you can provide at least 1 ID given that you have 3 non-ID supporting docs.

  6. Enjoy the convenience of prioritized application processing by booking a slot for your passport application in any of the DFA's participating Regional Consular Offices, Satellite Offices, or Philippine Embassy/Consulate abroad.

    -- it's not convenience at all...butangan pa lang ug comment area or suggestion page ilang system nga gihimo para makabaw sila nga daghan nahasol sa ilang paagi.

  30. Mint tea, turmeric tea, ginger-and-lemon tea, and chamomile tea can help you with the detox process. You could also try a fourth option, which is apple cider vinegar. It is a healthy combo of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and good gut bacteria.Have you ever failed a drug test? It isn't a fun experience. Let's say you just got offered a new job, but there's a required drug test beforehand. Even with an increasing number of states legalizing and decriminalizing marijuana use, you can still be penalized for it showing up on a drug test. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/

SCAM: My First Scam Text This Year; 850000 Pesos from GMA Kapuso Foundation

It's a brand new year for everyone, including local scammers. And despite all the efforts by PLDT and Globe Telecom to curb text message scammers, from time to time, they still creep out and show up in our inboxes. And as hard to believe as the messages of winning some great amounts of money is the fact that there are still people who believe them. I personally know someone and that scam text message triggered events that turn her life upside down. So my point is, we still need to be careful regarding these scam messages. The danger is real! So without further ado, here's the scam message I received a few days ago. On Sunday, January 7, 2018 at exactly 3:33PM (PH time), I received this message from a certain Atty. Jhon Acosta with phone number 09552962911 Congratulations!

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a  Prostate MRI,  and I assume it was without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i.e
