DFA-OCA Advises Public on Delay in Passport Release 

PARAÑAQUE 17 July 2024 – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) informs the public that recent passport applications made last week have been affected by a system downtime due to the maintenance work being conducted by our service provider, APO Production Unit, Inc. (APO). As a result, a few days of delay in the delivery and release of passports is expected. 

For more information, applicants may coordinate with their respective Consular Office (CO) and/or Foreign Service Post (FSP). For other inquiries and urgent matters, applicants may contact us through telephone number +632 8234 3488 or email us through the link provided below:
