MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced on Friday that a new Passport Satellite Office (PSO) in Cebu is now open to address the increasing demand for passport appointment slots in the Visayas Region.
DFA said in an advisory that the office’s location is Unit 228-229, 2nd Floor SM City Consolacion, Brgy. Lamac, Consolacion Cebu City.
According to DFA, the launch of PSO is part of the DFA’s continuing efforts to make passport services easier and more accessible to the public.
“Initially, PSO-SM Consolacion is expected to serve 150-200 applicants daily and will gradually increase the offered appointment slots in the next months,” it added.
PSO offers services such as passport processing and encoding, as well as follow-ups or any additional requests.
DFA said the PSO will start offering passport renewal application services on February 19. It, however, noted that they will only accommodate appointments confirmed online.
