NEW SCHEDULE OF THE OPENING OF THE GLOBAL ONLINE APPOINTMENT SLOTS FOR PASSPORT APPLICATIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO
The public is hereby informed that effective 04 October 2021, the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco will implement the new schedule of the opening of appointment slots for the Global Online Appointment System (GOAS) for passport appointments which is 5:30 PM, PST, every Monday. Previously, the opening of appointment slots was set at 9:00 AM every Monday.
GOAS enables applicants to choose their preferred date and time for their passport appointments. Those who wish to apply for appointments are advised to access the GOAS at passport.gov.ph. Applicants must provide a valid Gmail or Yahoo e-mail address to get into the system.
GOAS shall only be used for passport appointments in San Francisco. Those unable to get the appointment and renew their passports may take the following alternatives:
- Those with expiring passports may apply for passport validity extension (visit the Passport Extension tab at https://pcgsanfrancisco.org/passport/ for details);
- Those with lost or expired passports and have urgent travel to the Philippines within the next 30 days, may apply for a Travel Document (see https://pcgsanfrancisco.org/travel-document/ for details).
Please see the infographic for a step-by-step procedure on accessing the GOAS.
