Philippine passport holders who have applied for a renewal by visiting the Consulate in Al Qusais will be delighted to know that it is possible to use tools found on the internet to check your passport application status.
In most cases, passport renewals take somewhere from 6 to 8 weeks before you can receive a new passport issued under your name. Needless to say, it could be a long wait and so it would be a good thing if you can get updated by the time your passport is readily available for pick-up.
So instead of dropping by their office or constantly calling them up to inquire, you can do the checking yourself by using a computer and hopping online.
This is how you do it:
How to Check The Status of Your Passport Application Status
Actually, doing this is really quick and simple. All you have to do is to visit the official website, look for the calendar, and start clicking the dates. By doing so, you will be able to open links where the list of names of those who already have their passports available for pick-up.

- Old passport
- Original receipt
- Claim stub
- Valid ID
Also, be reminded that all unclaimed passports after six months from the date of issuance will be canceled.
