Renew Passport from USA

[Tokenfreak 223]

How can my wife renew her passport from the USA if we are unable to go to the embassy in Washington, D.C. or attend one of their out reach programs?  Thanks.

"Visit the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C., or one of the consulates. The Philippines has representation in many major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Miami. Passport renewals must be initiated in person."

 

I see no other options...........sometimes, you have to just spend the time and money to get things done.

Most foreign Embassies in the US accept mail-in renewal of passports for their citizens.

Oops, I guess the Philippines is an exception

Yup, just gotta go do it.

OP, this is the official source for adult passport renewal.

Ukraine as well  had to go twice to the Embassy in Washington DC - to apply for the passport in person  AND  pick it up in person. 

Although, we  don't regret we "were 'forced' to go to DC twice - it's a beautiful area and there are  so many places to visit there.

I don't know about the entire EU, but I do know that there are several member states that require an in-person initiation for a passport renewal.  I know Finland has no passport application, per se - you go to the embassy and request a new passport.  All your personal information is pulled from the national registry, and they print out a facsimile of the personal information page of the passport for the applicant to be able to sign.  The photograph is then attached to this sheet, which is scanned in, and sent to the passport agency electronically.

 

The fastest I have seen that service work was the last time I renewed mine in New York; went in to apply on Thursday afternoon, and my new passport was in New York by Monday, from where they sent it to me by FedEx, so I had it on Tuesday - ie. 5 days later it was in hand under regular service.  Don't have any idea what would have happened if it had not been over a weekend...  As a side note, it is very possible and easy to get a passport the same day in Helsinki without requiring any special circumstances for it..

It has to be done in person, but it does not have to be done at a particular consulate .. it can be any of the Philippine consulates.

Phone numbers listed, they should be able to answer.  Also, I'd ask them first if you plan to go to one not in your jurisdiction.

They say 6-8 weeks, but some have been receiving them back much quicker.

I know when my asawa and @Greenbaum s wife got theirs renewed last year they got theirs back within 4-6 weeks. While we had to wait almost 10 weeks to get it back.

It does not have to be done at a particular consulate. You may be confusing the passport with ROM. ROM has to be done in the jurisdiction that the couple were married in.

My wife and I went to DC on Feb 22 to renew her passport, and we are still waiting.  Hoping it will get here this week since we have AOS interview scheduled on April 2.
