Just sharing baka makatulog... if you are in dire need of a passport but don't have time time to wait for an appointment, you can try DFA Batangas.

No need for an appointment, just go there early and line up, then have your passport delivered by LBC after 12 working days

I left manila past 6 am the reached DFA batangas city around 8:30 am. I was #59 on the queue. Finished processing by 10:30 am

Madami rin upuan sa loob and airconditioned yun lugar free wifi din...

I second this.

I left Manila at 3:30 AM, and arrived by 5. I was #2.

It opened promptly at 8, and I was happily on the way back by 8:20. Chooose the "overtime" option, but I don't think it can be done before March 16.

Good luck!

It cannot be done before March 16.. sorry. yung rush nga dati nung meron pa. yung dapat 2 weeks sakin nangyari parang di rin rush.. 1 month din bago dumating sakin >.<

[cocoy]

i had a friend who got her passport expiry date extended.. so that could be choice.. if you cant get a new passport in time that you need it..

Maintenance Work, Equipment Upgrades in ePassport Ongoing

14 March 2011-The Department of Foreign Affairs-Office of Consular Affairs (DFA-OCA) said today that maintenance work and equipment upgrades in the ePassport Personalization Center at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) facility are ongoing.
As a result, delays in passport releases are to be expected, especially in Regional Consular Offices (RCO) and at various Embassies and Consulates General. The delay could last for a few more weeks.


It has also coincided with the seasonal increases in passport applications as a significant number of Filipinos are travelling abroad for the summer season.


At present, applicants would have to wait an additional 10 working days before their passports could be released.


"The DFA will work hard to ensure that those with urgent travel, especially overseas workers, are accommodated," Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Jaime Victor Ledda said.


"We would like to request those without immediate travel plans to defer their applications until the situation has normalized. Those with expiring passports who cannot forego their travel may opt to apply for an extension of the validity of their existing passports instead of applying for renewal," he added.


The DFA has been working closely with the BSP, which produces the passport booklets, to resolve the issue and that it is confident that it would be able to reduce the waiting period in the coming weeks.


It also appealed for the understanding of the travelling public, particularly those in the provinces.


"We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delays. We would like to assure the public that we are exerting our best efforts to resolve the issues as soon as possible," Assistant Secretary Ledda said. END

The internet is the way to go when it comes to renewing passports...

I already did this twice and the longest stay for me in the DFA was half an hour MAXIMUM.

The only hassle though is the wait for the courier to pick up your documents for verification of all your documents and appointment. As for the delivery of your passport; if you cannot be present on the day of delivery a letter of authority as well as your goverment issued ID are needed to present to the courier...

Of course, it's always wise to check on the validity of your passports before travelling!!!!

Hope this helps...

When was the last time you renewed your passport? When I renewed the passport of my kid last feb, I was there from 9:30am until 2:00pm.

It will take a longer time for the passport renewal if you course it now through the regional office.Try to make an appeal(letter) to extend the validity of your old passports.

The delay in releasing of new epassports are 7 days or more from the scheduled release date. I know this because ours were sheduled to be released last week...Nothing arrived. After my inquiry at the DFA, they said that it will be delayed and be released next week...I wonder if the person I was talking with could visualize my facial expression while he was explaining the reason for the delay. : D It just makes your blood boil to deal with such inept bureaucracy.
