Heto ang aming naging experience:

Birth Certificate. Check po muna natin sa PSA if available na ang Birth Certificate ni baby. If hindi pa, katulad ng sa baby ko that time, kumuha muna ako ng CERTIFIED TRUE COPY sa Munisipyo. Dalhin ang Certified True Copy Birth Certificate sa PSA for AUTHENTICATION. Maghanda din po tayo ng pambayad. (Reminder: Don’t skip this step kasi hindi po tatanggapin sa DFA kapag hindi authenticated and Certified True Copy Birth Certificate)

Application Form. Mas maganda na magdownload at makapag fill-up na tayo ng application form para pagdating sa DFA deretso na agad sa loob at hindi mo na aalalahanin pa ang magsulat. (download here) Pero kung wala tayo madownload, available din sa DFA ang application form.

Process. Hanapin and courtesy lane for minors at doon pumila, para ipasa ang mga requirements. Maghanda na din po ng pambayad. (you can check the fees here) Magready din ng coins kasi ipapa-photo copy sa inyo ang mga form.

Picture. Hindi na kailangan ng picture kasi sila na din ang magpipicture. Meron silang higaan ng baby, kung saan kukuhanan siya ng picture. Tulog si baby that time kaya ginising siya ng wet wipes!

Mother Passport Renewal. Sumabay na din ako ng Passport Renewal kay baby. Tinanong din ako sa window kung gusto ko na din palitan ang last name ko sa passport (Bring your PSA Marriage Certificate). Pwede po sumabay one adult per minor.

Pick-up or Delivery. Last step natin ay ang pagbibigay ng delivery address sa courier nila sa DFA kung delivery po ang pipiliin natin.

FAQ (Mga natanong ko din sa sarili ko before applying the passport)
