What are the requirements for the renewal of passports?
Passport renewals may be done entirely by mail or in person. The Consulate General strongly encourages individuals to file their applications themselves, either in person or by mail. Personal applications are normally released faster, as the Consulate normally encounters fewer problems in the application process. In addition, individuals would not have to pay additional fees, other than the consular fees prescribed by Philippine law. A comprehensive list of requirements is included in the downloadable passport application form found in this site.
