As the Department of Foreign Affairs
(DFA) strives to make the passport application system faster and easier for
all, they have released the schedule of their passport mobile services for this
month until November of this year. Through this mobile passport service
program, the DFA goes to different local government units all over the country
to make it possible for people who for some reason find it difficult to go to
the DFA main office to obtain a passport.
So check out the schedule below to see
if the DFA mobile passport service would be near your area in the coming days.
Catch them in your local municipality and take advantage of the opportunity to
conveniently get a passport.
