PROCEDURE

Book an appointment online to schedule when you can personally file petition at the Consular Section.

Get four (4) photocopies of all required documents according to the circumstances that apply to your petition.

Double check that you have all the required documents (originals and photocopies) and arrange in a folder.

Show up at Consular Section on time for your confirmed appointment and present the original and copies of all requirements.

Pay the corresponding fee at the cashier when the consular assistant has completed evaluation of your documents.

Note and show up in person (and in proper attire) on the date and time that you are scheduled for your oath of allegiance.

Sign your dual citizenship documents and receive a set for your own records that you should keep safe as with any legal document.

Immediately apply for a PHL passport once you have officially completed this procedure as one can never tell when it will be needed.
