Note that all passports are printed in the Philippines. Your new Philippine passport is expected to be available for collection about six (6) weeks after your successful passport renewal application. The Embassy is not liable for any delay in the availability of a passport due to possible occurrences in production and shipment.
Please check the Embassy’s online passport availability checker by clicking this link. The site also provides a link for securing an appointment to collect your passport once it is ready for collection.
Securing an appointment for passport collection is required.
Please bring the following on your passport collection date:
- The confirmation e-mail of your appointment for passport collection;
- The BLUE consular collection slip issued to you when you applied for your passport;
- Your current Philippine passport, which will be cancelled and returned to you along with your new passport. Your new passport will NOT be released if the old passport is not presented for cancellation.
- Signed authorization letter from the passport holder, if the new passport will be claimed by a proxy. The new passport will NOT be released if the signed authorization letter is not presented together with the proof of identification of the proxy. (Note that passports of minors can be claimed only by the Filipino mother/father).
