DFA ePassport Now Available Through DFA Passport Appointment System

In a move to constantly upgrade its efficient service to the public for passport application and passport renewal, the Office of Consular Affairs (OCA) of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has relocated to a state-of-the-art building located at the corner of Bradco Ave. and Macapagal Blvd. in Aseana Business Park, Paranaque City, just a few minutes away from the Mall of Asia. Equipped with fiber-optic lines, CCTV cameras and other high-tech communications infrastructure, the new OCA-DFA building is poised to set the new standard in government offices, providing the public with fast, efficient, and comfortable service.

In the new location all applications for ePassports (electronic passports) will only be accepted and processed via the DFA appointment system. Applicants may set a passport appointment by going online through its dedicated website www.passport.com.ph or by calling the DFA Appointment Hotline 737-1000.
