Download and complete the passport application from the embassy website. Fill in basic information, such as your name, address, occupation, parents’ names and how you obtained your Filipino citizenship. Print out the form or complete it carefully using either black or blue ink.
Take photocopies of relevant identity documents. The embassy will accept your driver’s license, state ID, birth certificate or marriage certificate as proof of identity, provided the document shows your full name with the middle name spelled out in full.
Purchase the correct value in stamps for a self-addressed envelope or a pre-paid courier’s envelope so the embassy can mail your passport to you.
Bring your completed form, photocopies, envelope and the fee of $60, payable in cash, certified check, cashier’s check, money order or bank draft, to the nearest embassy or consulate. You must go in person, although you are not required to book an appointment in advance. Embassy staff will take your photograph, a copy of your fingerprints and your signature on site.
