Applying or Renewing for Passport? Check the Valid ID's Accepted by DFA






Whether you are planning to work or travel abroad, a valid Philippine passport is one of the most important things you must have because, without it, you can't leave the country.

Applying for a Philippine passport is now easy with more online appointment slots available and a simplified process. In fact, you can apply for passport hassle-free if you study the process first and complete the requirements needed before proceeding to the Department of Foreign Affairs. 

One of the most important requirements in the process is a valid identification card or ID. But remember that not all valid IDs are accepted in the DFA.
