can i apply for a Phil. passport for my brother (65 yrs old) who lives in Negros Occidental online? i want him to visit me in Australia so he can enjoy the remaining days of his life.
I am scared that if he do it himself in DFA Cebu, he might be ripped off or robbed by bad people there. Do u know of a trusted travel agency who can do this for us?
Does he still need an NBI c

I’m applying for passport renewal. I was a brown passport holder issued 1985. I already have the NSO Birth Certificate in security paper. Do I still have to secure the “Negative Birth Record from NSO if born 1950 & below & joint Birth Affidavit from two Disinterested Person; & supporting document showing complete Middle Name?” I was born November 24, 1950.
Thank you very much.

naku girl, yan din ang naging problema ko sa pamangkin ko, hiningan nila ako ng baptismal certificate eh di pa siya nabibinyagan, eh yung baby book naman di ko maipakita kasi iba pangalan niya dun bale 2 years siya nun.Ang ginawa namin pinabinyagan namin siya tapos bumalik kami sa dfa dala baptismal niya buti tinanggap naman…
depende yan sa natapat sayo na inspector, kasi yung katabing babae nung natapat sa akin na baklang inspector eh sinasabi na palusutin na ko kasi bata pa nman yung applicant pero hindi talaga pinalusot. pero kahit nahirapan ako eh at least may passport na pamangkin ko. Eh nung bumalik naman ako parang nagtaka yung inspector na babae kung bakit nareject yun nung una.. ewan ko sa kanila.
