Philippine Passport Application Form: New and Updated
One of the basic requirements for applying for a passport, whether for the first time or for renewal, is a duly completed application form.
This form is usually filled out online. When you try to make an appointment, you will be asked to complete an application form. After submitting the form, you will be asked to pay the application fee before they lock your seat. They keep it for 24 hours. Once payment is confirmed, you will be emailed a PDF file containing your appointment schedule and electronically completed application form. All you need is to print the form and an appointment confirmation.
However, if for any reason you need a copy of the blank form, you can find it below:
for adults
- New App (Adult).download here.
- Update Form (Adult).download here.
minor
- Application Form (Minors).download here.
Here are some important notes about the form:
- Print the form on A4 size paper.
- You can create forms digitally or manually. For handwritten forms, be sure to write entries clearly. Use only black or blue ink.
- Please write N/A for fields that do not apply to you.
- A minor is defined as a person under the age of 18. and those who cannot fully take care of themselves.
Bring the completed form along with other required documents to the selected DFA office for an appointment.

Hello! What if I made a mistake in my passport application but I'm past the deadline and they didn't ask me. Is all the information in there important? This is for review. what should I do? If I call them to express this concern, will they reschedule another appointment for me? Do I need to pay again? I'm confused. It would be very helpful if you could reply me immediately. Thank you so much!

Hi Manilyn, what's the matter? Usually, your answers will be double-checked while you are there. So you can change it.

Hi Marygrace, is the lost passport still valid? If so, NBI clearance is not required as far as I know. But you will need a police report (in English), a statement of loss and a fine.

Hello, I would like to ask where can I submit a request for passport correction, especially the year of birth? Instead of 1988, the passport showed 1998. I need passport to take IELTS and NCLEX exams, so is there any way to apply for re-issuance. I hope someone can help me with this problem. This is very urgent and God keep you all safe.
