ABOUT US
Welcome to DFA Appointment (https://dfa-appointments.com). We are an independent information website that helps Filipinos understand how passport and consular appointments with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) generally work. We are not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the DFA, the Philippine government, or any embassy or consulate. We do not book appointments on anyone’s behalf.
Why we created this website
Applying for or renewing a Philippine passport is a major step for students, workers, travelers, and families. Many applicants find the process stressful. Appointment slots can be hard to get, requirements differ depending on whether you are a first-time applicant or renewing, and advice online is often outdated or confusing. We built DFA Appointment to explain the process in clear, practical language so you know what to prepare before you go.
What you will find here
- Step-by-step guides on how the passport appointment process generally works
- Checklists of commonly required documents for new applications and renewals
- Explanations of fees, processing times, and delivery options as publicly announced
- Tips on avoiding common mistakes, such as wrong personal details, missing documents, or missed schedules
- Information about requirements for special cases, such as minors, senior citizens, and applicants with name or record concerns
- Warnings about scams, fixers, and unofficial websites that charge extra for appointment slots
How we create our content
Every article is researched and written by a real person. We base our guides on official DFA announcements and publicly available information, and we add our own explanations, practical tips, and examples. We do not copy content from other websites. When procedures change, we update our articles. If you notice something outdated or incorrect, please tell us through our Contact page and we will review it.
Our promise to readers
- Honesty: We always make clear that we are an independent website and not the DFA.
- Accuracy: We do our best to keep information current, and we encourage you to confirm details on the official DFA website before acting.
- Safety: We will never ask for your passwords, passport or ID numbers, payment details, or one-time passwords (OTP). Please never share these, or pay for appointment slots, through any website or person that is not the official channel.
