Philippine Passport: Paano Mag-Apply Online
A step-by-step guide to applying for your Philippine passport the official way — appointment, requirements, fees, and processing time. Libre ang gabay na ito.
By Nova Citizen Editorial · Last updated June 11, 2026 · Verified against Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)
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.
