The new Philippine passport. It is a machine readable already. This is required for everyone for all member countries to implement the new passport before year 2010.It incorporates the biometrics of the holder making it easy to identify the bearer and at the same time minimizes the instances of tampering and falsification. This shall ensure the integrity of the passport and greatly facilitates the travel of its bearer across the borders. Our machine readable passport embodies world class standards and is now at par with the standards of passport issued by the developed countries. It increases the credibility of the Philippines and better secures the identity of its bearer.
If anyone still have the green passport, it still can be used until expires but it is highly recommended to apply for the new passport. All applicants are required to appear in person when filing their application with the Embassy in Canberra. The passport production process will be done in Manila. The average processing period is 30 days from the time the completed application is received by the Embassy.
