TRAVEL world wide...It is first (or second. no! First) on my ‘to-do list’ before I die. Paris, Florence, New York and Hawaii are some of the places I want to visit. I want to go to places, see different faces and experience different cultures and lifestyles. But before I take a photo of the amazing Eiffel Tower and take a swim in the waters of Hawaii, first step is to apply for a passport to be able to travel abroad.
Here’s what you have to do:
Go to the Department of Foreign Affairs. (Personal Appearance is required.)Duly accomplished application form.
Birth Certificate (BC) in Security Paper (SECPA) issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) or Certified True Copy (CTC) of BC issued by the Local Civil Registrar duly authenticated by NSO.
Three (3) colored photos of the applicant taken against a royal blue background. Applicant should be in decent attire with collar. Photo must be of good quality, and must have been taken within the last six (6) months. Photo size: 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm. Facial image size: Not less than 3 cm. DFA has the right to reject photos that do not comply with specifications and international standards.
Proof of identity / Supporting documents indicating full name, date and place of birth and citizenship
Other Supporting Documents
You can check out http://www.gov.ph/faqs/passport.asp for the additional requirements for married women, minors, Muslim applicants, etc.
That’s the traditional way of passport application. Good news is there’s an easier way. You can apply via phone and need not to waste an entire day in DFA. You just have to place a call then you’re requirements will be picked up. But you have to pay for the pick up fee ( But what’s P1,300 if you can save a day, right?). It shortens your personal appearance from one whole day to 15 minutes. Thanks for an alternate way; you no longer have to be all stressed out.
So what are you still doing there in front of your computer? Hurry and start collecting the requirements now. c: Pick up the phone and make that call. Travelling is a lot of fun and you don’t want to miss out on that just because you don’t have a passport. c: So, hurry!
See you in Paris…c:
