Passport renewal

Prepare an affidavit of loss. The police-report and clearing-period rule for a lost valid passport is not automatically your expired-passport route.

Cost / amount:

• ₱950 regular or ₱1,200 expedited processing
• Payment-channel and optional delivery charges are separate
• DFA may assess an additional ₱350 lost-passport penalty; confirm the total for your record

Processing time:

• Published domestic schedule: 12 working days regular; 6–7 expedited
• Appointment availability, verification and delivery add time; follow the release date on your receipt

How to start:

• Prepare loss documents, then book a DFA appointment

What to bring

• Confirmed appointment, form and payment receipt

  Print the confirmed appointment packet. The applicant attends in person.

• PSA birth certificate / Report of Birth

  Bring the original and a photocopy; an annotated or late-registered record can require additional supporting evidence.

• Accepted government ID and photocopy

  Use DFA’s accepted-ID list and bring the original.

• Notarized affidavit of loss

  Include the circumstances of loss and the passport details you know; bring a copy of the lost passport if available.
