Payment Methods & Details
For DS-11 Passport Applications:
Please prepare to pay your passport application fee in person at the Embassy cashier in Manila or at the Consular Agency in Cebu during your appointment. We accept cash (in U.S. dollars or Philippine pesos), or major credit cards.
We do not accept checks or dollar demand drafts. At present, online fee payment is not possible for DS-11 passport applications or for passport cards.
DS-11 Application Processing Timelines:
You should receive your new passport by mail/courier within six to eight weeks of approval. We are unable to process requests for expedited passport processing. If more than six weeks have passed since your passport application was approved, you may contact us at ACSInfoManila@state.gov.
If you have a need for immediate international travel, we may be able to issue you a limited validity emergency passport; please schedule an appointment to do so. Be prepared to provide proof of your itinerary or urgent need to travel. If you require an earlier appointment for an emergency passport than what is available online, please email us at ACSInfoManila@state.gov, write “Emergency Passport” in the subject line, attach your planned itinerary, and include an image of your passport’s bio-data page.
Reasonable Accommodation
If you need reasonable accommodation for your appointment, we encourage you to request your accommodation immediately after scheduling. We make every effort to provide accommodations to persons with disabilities and medical conditions. Reasonable accommodations vary, depending on the situation and the person’s needs. Examples of accommodations include, but are not limited to:
- If you require a private appointment due to a medical condition or disability, we may schedule an alternative time for you to come in for your interview.
- If you or your child has special needs that requires a private appointment in a quiet space without distractions, we may schedule an alternative time for you or your family to come in for your interview.
- If you are unable to speak, you may be allowed to respond to questions in an agreed-upon nonverbal manner such as using pen and paper.
- If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you may bring a sign language interpreter to translate during the interview if needed.
- If you have low vision, we may provide you with communications in large print.
Interview waivers are only granted in extreme situations, such as having a medical condition that requires flying in an air ambulance.
The Consular Section waiting area and its restroom are wheelchair-accessible.
