The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) yesterday announced that they will be phasing out all non-machine readable passports by November 24, 2015.

A passport-holder may not get any extension on their expiry beyond October 31, 2015. As such, the DFA is recommending that old passport-holder get a renewal at least 6 months before the aforementioned date.

There are currently 3 types of Philippine passports — the old Green Passport, the Maroon Passport which is Machine Ready, and the new e-Passport which is Dark Maroon. All passport-holders of the MRRP (green) or MRP (maroon) passports are encouraged to renew them and get the e-Passport instead.

These old passports will no longer be honored after October 2015 based on International Civil Aviation Organization standards.
