    Ids for Passport needed ??

    Just a bit of background here , my GF original Birth Cert contained the incorrect birth date on it and has only just been replaced with a new revised version .

    We now need to apply for a passport for an upcoming trip to Thailand in January .

    The only other photographic ID she has is a 6 year old Dept of Inland Revenue Card which she regually uses to fly domestically with me within the PH .

    How does she apply for the other Photo Ids , does she need to travel back to her province in Samar to get a Postal ID etc etc ?

    I am guessing she can apply for her passport at any DFA office withing the PH ??

    Salmat Po in advance for your help .

    I guess someone else can step in at this point, because, my wife and I used an agency to get her passport sorted (those were the days when we were ignorant of such a trap)

    someone will help you - i'm guessing if it's not a filipina on this forum, it'll be "JoeBloggs", or "Somebody"

    Try to approach an agency / travel agency... they will advise you as to probable requirements as they have better access to DFA offices.

    I applied for my first passport thru an agency, I just brought with me a lot of documents (like Transcript of Records, Telephone Billing statement in my name, NSO birth cert. & NBI clearance), then the agency staff had choosen some of it to back up my application & scheduled my personal appearance at DFA & that was it.... This was long time ago though, I'm not so sure if they have been strict in terms of requirements.

    Thank you for your advice .

    Seeems a voters ID is not goin to be any good as they are not being issued until april 2010 ...

    As for getting a postal ID shes has only been living in her new home for 3 months and has no ultilty bills as yet , she asked her Bangray people for forms and they claimed she needs to get NBI clearance which i think is nonsense !!

    How something which should be so simple is turning into a right headache .
