DFA opens ePassport Renewal System in Los Angeles

MANILA—The Department of Foreign Affairs opened recently a Philippine ePassport Renewal Center in North America aimed at fast-tracking consular services.

“The Philippine ePassport Renewal Center system supplements and strengthens the consular operations of our 94 embassies and consulates around the world. It radically reduces the pressure to get more things done faster and faster until more and more mistakes are made or the public is condemned to slower and slower service”, DFA chief Teodoro Locsin Jr. said at the inauguration of the renewal center.

"Filipinos here in Los Angeles and in the surrounding states need not worry about missing work obligations or other inconveniences caused by an 8-to-5-time window. I know you work so hard to make a life out here, and we will make sure that the PaRC works harder for you to help you achieve that end,” he added.
