The Department of Foreign Affairs, or DFA, was the first governmental agency created in the new republic of the Philippines in 1898. The DFA oversees citizen and consular services, including the issuance of passports. Because of the importance of national security, there are many regulations that must be strictly adhered to. Renewal policies differ depending on when the passport was issued, as well as in certain special situations. It is important to verify all specifications before applying for renewal.

Personal Appearances

A personal appearance is required for all passport renewals. These appearances take place at the DFA office in Manila. Hours for appearances are: Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

Supporting Documents

As with any government application, it is critical to provide the proper documents. Passport renewals require at least one supporting document. A supporting document can be any of the following: driver's license; land title; marriage contract; PRC/IBP ID; school transcript; government service record; old or digital SSS-E1 form; old income tax return; baptismal record; voter registration record; seaman's book; or any document that states the full name and birth information for the applicant. Please contact the DFA with any specific questions regarding the documents that are needed for your situation. Also need 3 copies of passport pictures.

Brown Passport (Issued Before May 1, 1995)

For passports that were issued before May 1, 1995 (known as brown passports), applicants should bring their existing passport along with copies of pages 1 to 3. It is also necessary to bring the pages with the most recent departure and arrival stamps. Applicants should also bring a supporting document that verifies their middle name and original identification, as well as three photos that meet passport requirements. Photo specifics are available from the DFA, and are crucial--a passport renewal application can be rejected if the photos do not meet the requirements.

Green Passport (Issued After May 1, 1995)

Passports issued after May 1, 1995 (referred to as green passports) have virtually the same renewal requirements as those for brown passports. One exception is that passport holders need to bring their existing green passport rather than an old brown one. Also, if the passport is for an illegitimate minor, the minor's mother (not the father) must appear in person. For legitimate minors, either parent may appear.

OP can renew it at a Philippine consulate here in the US or at DFA in the Philippines. You have to renew in person either way.

I don't no what the trip is if you have to change names tho. I have to change my adopted anaks name in court in PI to change her name in her Philippine PP.

They won't do so in the US.

Yes if you adopt the child but you also have the option not to and still bring the child here.

For married woman who wants to use their married name when they renew their passport, they need to report their marriage at the nearest consulate office first.

I brought my stepdaughter here and then adopted her here in the US. She has US PP in my name and PI PP in her maiden name.

It seems you will have to go here in the Philippine Consulate in LA, CA if you have the green passport. Here is the website and all your questions are answered there. I paid $50, my passport has expired and at the same time I want to use my married name. I paid additional $6 for the mailing of my passport so that I will not have to comeback and pick it up.
