Filipinos can get their passports at the Philippine Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan. Getting a passport requires an appointment and personal appearance at the Embassy.

Use this checklist if:

• • You lost your valid passport and have an urgent travel to the Philippines
  • Your passport is expiring and you have to travel to the Philippines within 6 weeks
  • You cannot renew your passport before you travel

Application for travel documents can be made in person or by mail.

The Philippine Embassy issues travel documents to Filipino citizens who need to travel urgently to the Philippines but cannot meet the requirements for a regular passport, typically due to emergencies such as serious illness or the death of an immediate family member.

A travel document is valid only for direct, one-way travel to the Philippines. It cannot be used for other destinations.

To obtain a travel document, proof of urgency is required, such as medical certificates or death certificates.

Some countries do not accept emergency travel documents, even if you are just transiting through the country. Check with the embassy of the country you plan to transit through to find out if they will accept a travel document.

After returning to the Philippines, your travel document is expired and cannot be used again. You must apply for a new passport at any Department of Foreign Affairs consular office upon arrival in the Philippines.

Please note that the consular officer reserves the right to require additional documents from an applicant to prove their identity and/or citizenship, and ensure accurate and complete personal data entries. The Embassy has no photocopier/printer onsite.
