To replace your damaged or mutilated Philippine passport, you need the following requirements:
a. Personal appearance at DFA. Again, this is considered as a NEW application so an online appointment is required.
b. Duly accomplished passport application form.
c. Notarized Affidavit of Explanation detailing the circumstances (when, where, and how) that led to your passport getting damaged or mutilated.
d. Original and photocopy of the first and last pages of mutilated/damaged passport.
e. A penalty fee of Php 350.
f. In case the details on your passport are no longer recognizable due to damage, bring your birth certificate.
After submitting the requirements, a mandatory 15-day clearing period shall be imposed. During this time, your application will go through verification. Once your passport records have been traced, a copy will then be attached to the new application.
