NO WALK-IN POLICY

To provide more efficient service to all of our customers, and to minimize the amount of time that applicants need to spend at the Embassy while processing their application for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) or first-time adult derivative U.S. citizenship, the American Citizen Services (ACS) section is implementing new procedures.  Effective May 1, 2006 the ACS section will interview applicants for CRBAs and first-time adult derivative U.S. citizenship by appointment only.  

All applicants for CRBAs and first-time adult derivative U.S. citizenship should submit their completed applications, and supporting documents, to the American Citizen Services section by mail.  Appointments will be scheduled only after these applications have been received and reviewed.  

For your convenience the U.S. Embassy has partnered with FEDEX to provide basic information, forms and pick-up/delivery services.   Applicants may avail themselves of this service for a nominal fee by calling the Fedex Call Center Exclusive Hotline: (63) (2) 879-4747, 7:30am - 4:30 pm, Mon-Fri, except American and Philippine holidays. Completed applications may also be mailed directly to the American Citizen Services Section, Attn:  Passport /Citizenship, U.S. Embassy Manila, 1201 Roxas Boulevard, Ermita 1000, Manila, Philippines
