i did find that DHL wont allow passports to be sent overseas. I tryed FEDEX and was no problem sending the orginal passport. It was good that i could track it from UK. FRANCE, china and then arriving Manila. After that there was no tracking and eventually arrived in Davao after 5 days/

wE had to present my original passport at the embassy for our sons passport. They say 10 days to process for is passport and registration.
