I will renew my passport there as well. How was it?
Hi! I booked online first for the appointment. I travelled from Cebu to Bacolod.. so I checked all the bus and ship or flight schedules in heading back home because I needed to go back the next day as I had a work. So that I could negotiate to the people inside even though there was a queue. I went there earlier than my scheduled time then I asked the security guards to allow me. It was faster as they were accommodating to people like me who really needs to catch up the last bus trip. You need to prepare all your documents and photocopy it so that you are good to go when your name will be called. LBC branch is also in there in case you would want to deliver it right at the front of your house. Good luck!
Posstal ID, TIN ID, and Philhealth ID are no longer accepted for passport application purposes…
Hello po ask ko sana kasi nag process ako ng passport for my infant son last oct.22.2018.express processing the trafer type po ay DELIVER.i thought 7 working days lang yon.2 weeks na ngayun d pa po na deliver.sagay city yung address ko.

Nag process ako ng passport ko nung Oct. 22, 2018 pa at sabi after 10 working days makukuha na e express processing type naman yon then bakit wala pang dumating sa LBC branch dito sa Kabankalan City?

Hi! Sorry I cannot help you. I am not affiliated with DFA. I just wrote what I experienced when I processed my passport with DFA Bacolod to share with readers, like you.
I entered group application for 2 passports but i havent received a reference number of the other one. How can i pay for the other transaction without a reference. I tried to set an appointment again but it wont process because i need to cancel the appointment made. However i wasnt able to receive any application code. Please advice. Thank you
