      Fill out form DS-82 in block letters. Only fill out this form if the passport was issued after you turned 15, or if it issued less than 15 years ago. If you do not meet these qualifications, you must fill out form DS-11 and renew the passport in person at the U.S. consulate in Manila.

      Look for an email from the embassy. It will say when you need to come to the embassy to pay the application fee of $110 (as of 2011), and to arrange delivery of the passport through the courier service. The passport will be delivered within three weeks.
