You apply for a Philippine passport through the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), starting with an online appointment at the only official site, passport.gov.ph. Booking the appointment is free; you only pay the processing fee.

⚠️ Use only passport.gov.ph. Many fake "fixer" sites copy the DFA look, charge extra, and steal your information. The official appointment system is passport.gov.ph — nothing else.
