Without much information given to the public, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) transferred its Office of Consular Affairs (OCA) into a not so accessible location.
If you try to survey the public if they happen to know this, then I’m sure a few only know. That’s why still a lot of applicants are going in the old location in Libertad, Pasay City, and yes including me. Now, a lot of tricycle drivers are taking chance of getting an income from the public by bringing them into the new location presumably near SM Mall of Asia (MOA), charging them Php 20 each – maximizing the capacity into 6 passengers, and then ended up walking a few meters more from the corner of EDSA and Macapagal Avenue.
DFA - OCA, Philippines
The new location of the DFA – OCA is now at the corner of Bradco and Macapagal Avenues in Aseana Business Park, Paranaque City.

Heading towards SM Mall of Asia from EDSA, you can turn left to Macapagal Avenue. The new DFA – OCA is located beside a Petron gas station and McDonalds in front. For commuters, I guess there is public transport in the MOA as most of them head towards MOA.

The new 7,000-square meter, four-storey building houses the Authentication (Red Ribbon) and Passport Services (new application and renewal).

If I never cross this page I would never knew this today. This information is nice to have specially if you plan to go to DFA. At least you can save money and time going there.
Thanks for the info… I needed this information badly for my appointment tomorrow!
More power to your site!
I’ve had so much to complain about the new DFA passport system. first, you can’t just walk in to get/renew a passport you will need to get an appointment, and the earliest you can get online or over the phone is after a month and a half. so If you are set to travel 2 months prior to your application, say goodbye to your trip bec all they will tell you is to re-book your flight. I tried to talk to one of the supervisor if he really is, and he was rude. can I mention the name here bec I did get his name, you can’t go there wearing sandals even when you’re just claiming your passport, the guards are rude! one guard told me to go to baclaran and buy shoes if i want to be able to go inside the building. I was wearing a decent pair of white sandals. no skirt , no sando, no short. I appreciate theyre trying make changes to make it better but hell, please let the public know. i’ve asked my officemates if they are aware of this and NONE of them know!
Yes, you can mention their names here.
Any ways, they are rude.
Hi archie,
I’m now in Malaysia and tho my experience with DFA was very unpleasant it was really nice to be able to get my passport still ahead of time, that is, after getting help from a friend working at Malacanan. He had to go straight to who is really in-charge to get it done. One phone call.
TIP: if anyone URGENTLY needed to apply for a new passport or renew and don’t have an appointment, don’t beg from the guys at CAPAC, they’re rude. none of them can help you and they will just embarrass you infront of everyone. Go inside and go to PASSPORT DIVISION, People there are more pleasant to talk to. create a letter explaining why you needed to get your passport and show some docu ( plane tickets, etc.) They can help you.
Hi there!
When I went to the new location of DFA, they only gave ma an appointment after a month.
That is really not a good one.
So, I try to go to POEA instead.
