DFA Passport Philippines

In many comments regarding passport processing and application in different branches of the DFA we have listed here, two of the most or frequently asked questions is how much is the passport fee and the second is, how long does it take to process and complete application until the release of the document or claim of the passport itself.

The same reason why we decided to put up this post so that there is and will always be a guide for passport applicants regarding this matter. We will be short to be exact so as to provide good juicy information regarding fees, charges, processing time and possible changes and updates to latest cost of a Philippine passport.

We promise to update this page as soon as there are new charges or fees as updated by the Department of Foreign Affairs office. With this, we ask all to remain vigilant for updates and that we want to let you know that accuracy of the rates and charges are not always exact and precise. It is still and is always best to call the call center or DFA customer service hotline to ask prior to reporting to apply from an online reservation system ticket.
