DFA Temporary Off-Site Passport Services (TOPS)

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) operates Temporary Off-Site Passport Services (TOPS) to expand access to passport processing in high-demand areas outside of regular DFA Consular Offices. These locations are typically situated in shopping malls and commercial centers nationwide, making them more accessible and convenient for the public.

TOPS facilities offer core passport services, including:

  • New passport applications
  • Passport renewals
  • Replacements for lost or damaged passports

These off-site centers are designed to ease congestion at main DFA offices, especially in urban centers like Metro Manila, and to provide faster, more efficient service to Filipino citizens.

📝 Note: TOPS locations may have limited appointment slots and operating hours. Always book an appointment online via the DFA website before visiting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many DFA Consular Offices are there in the Philippines?

The DFA has numerous Consular Offices spread across the Philippines, including major cities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as several Temporary Off-site Passport Services (TOPS) facilities and consular offices located in malls. The exact number can vary as new offices open or existing ones relocate.

What services are offered at DFA Consular Offices?

Most DFA Consular Offices offer the following core services:

  • Passport Application (new and renewal)
  • Authentication of Documents (Red Ribbon/Apostille)
  • Civil Registration (e.g., Report of Birth, Marriage, Death for Filipinos abroad)
  • Assistance to Nationals (ATN) – specific offices might have this.

It’s always best to check the specific office’s page for a definitive list of services.

What’s the difference between a DFA Consular Office and a TOPS facility?

DFA Consular Offices are permanent, full-service branches. Temporary Off-site Passport Services (TOPS) facilities were established to accommodate the high demand for passport appointments and typically focus solely on passport application and renewal services. They may have different operating procedures or appointment availability.

Can I walk in to a DFA Consular Office without an appointment?

Generally, no. The DFA strictly implements an online appointment system for passport applications and renewals. Walk-ins are typically allowed only for specific urgent cases (e.g., OFWs with urgent flights, medical emergencies, senior citizens, PWDs, pregnant women), and often require presenting proof of urgency. Always check the latest DFA advisories.

Do all DFA Consular Offices offer express passport processing?

Most DFA Consular Offices offer both regular and expedited (express) passport processing options. However, the exact processing times and fees may vary slightly. Be sure to confirm this when scheduling your appointment or inquiring at the office.
