PH Consulate to hold outreach on Tinian, Saipan

The Philippine Consulate General in Agana, Guam, in cooperation with the United Filipinos Association on Tinian, will conduct mobile consular services on Tinian, from May 9 to 10, 2014, at the Tinian Room of the Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino.

The consulate will also conduct similar mobile consular services on Saipan, this time with the help of the United Filipino Organizations, from May 12 to 15, 2014, at the Daidai Social Hall of the Mount Carmel Cathedral.

All interested to avail of consular services are advised to prepare the following requirements:

A. FOR PASSPORT APPLICATIONS

* Requirements for renewal of green Philippine passport:

1. Accomplished ePassport Application form

2. Photocopy of data page of passport

3. Original passport

4. Payment of ePassport Fee ($60)

* Requirements for renewal of brown/maroon Philippine passport

1. Accomplished ePassport Application form

2. Photocopy of data page of passport

3. Photocopy of birth certificate

4. Original passport

5. Payment of ePassport Fee ($60)

In order to facilitate express processing of ePassport applications during the mobile consular service, passport applicants are requested to send clear scanned copies (PDF format only) of these requirements (i.e., items 1 and 2 for green passport holders and items 1, 2, and 3 for holders of brown/maroon passports) to saipan.pcgagana@gmail.com until Friday, May 2, 2014. Applicants are advised to ensure that all items in the application form are answered fully and completely and that contact numbers are provided therein, as they will be informed of their schedule for biometrics capturing. Due to technical capacity of our equipment, we will only accept the first 480 completed applications for the “pre-encoded applicants.”

It is important that applicants should submit completely the required documents as the consulate general will check thoroughly all received scanned applications before an “acknowledgment receipt” can be made. Acknowledgement of receipt of application will be sent once the application is encoded in the consulate’s ePassport system, which is done only after office hours. To give time for the preparation of the pre-processed applications, follow up over the phone or email inquiry as to the receipt of the applications will not be entertained.

For proper management, it is requested that applicants should not resend several times their respective applications and should send only one application per email transmission with the applicant’s name in the subject field. If you did not receive an acknowledgement from the said email address, it will not be included on the list. Applicants are requested to wait for their respective acknowledgment receipt and check the list of pre-processed applications and their corresponding date/time slot for consular services, which will be posted in the consulate’s website, philippinesguam.org, and Facebook account on or before May 7, 2014.

To avoid delays in the processing of applications, applicants are advised not to fold copies of the requirements. Please be informed, however, that priority will be given to senior citizens (65 years old and above) and persons with disabilities.
