Philippine passport photo maker online — common questions
Does the Philippine DFA accept self-captured photos for online passport renewals?
Yes for online renewals (typically OFW or eligible categories). For new applications at DFA-Aseana or regional consular offices, the photo is captured in-house at the appointment. Our tool's $3.99 output works for both — the digital JPEG for online submission and the 4×6 print sheet for mail-in renewals via Philippine embassies abroad.
Where in Manila can I print a 4×6 passport photo sheet?
Most reliable options: Kodak Express photo shops (most common), Mercury Drug photo counters (limited locations), SM Department Store photo studios (in most SM malls). Typical cost: ₱20 – ₱45 per 4×6 sheet. Home inkjet printing with 4×6 glossy paper costs about ₱15 per sheet.
