And yes PERSONAL APPERANCE is required. I also just renewed mine last year at kailangan na talaga ng personal apperance unlike dati pwede lang ipalakad sa iba...

last dec i have my passport renewed,pero sa travel agency ako,i went to DFA for apperance and some signatures needed.after that umuwi na rin ako. yung travel agency na ng process,less pila,di ka pa mahihirapan. At releasing dun mu din kukunin sa travel agency.

meron advisory galing sa consular office dito sa malaysia para sa epassport application pero in pdf file. paano ba i-post dito?

taken from the consular advisory.

passport fees

regular processing (20 days) = 950 pesos
express processing (10 days) = 1200 pesos
lost passport = 200 pesos (additional fee)

hindi nabanggit kung calendar days o working days yan ha. try to log in at www.passport.com.ph

if you schedule your passport application online, it will take you around an hour only. that's what i did just this february. i applied for the new echip passport, 1200 pesos 10 days processing.

you simply go there on your scheduled date, fill out the form, then have your picture, fingerprints and signature taken. you may have the passport sent to you thru courier (LBC or air 21) for an additional fee. it's that simple.

and btw, the DFA has a new office near MOA (along macapagal bldv iirc)
