Maayong Adlaw!
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) informs the public that recent passport applications made since 05 July 2024 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.
In the meantime, the DFA advises the public to make the necessary travel arrangements due to this delay.
Rest assured all affected passport applications will be printed and delivered as soon as the system maintenance is completed.
The DFA sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience caused by APO’s system maintenance and appreciates your understanding and cooperation
Thank you.
