They have no respect of your time. Notarial service. I Requested for SPA and they missed a letter of my name. I was expecting it would be quick since i requested for pick up. They had me wait so long for their mistake. Imagine if i requested it for mail and mailing me a wrong document. Such a hassle. It took me an hr for the said correction.

It's a small office. Had no issues. There was a line outside, but the security guard let me and my wife, who was accompanying me, in after I told them what time my appointment was. We got there a few minutes early. Checking in was easy. Had all the documents needed except for the stamps for the return envelope. I was told to buy stamps at a nearby 7/11, which I did. Bought the stamps and walked back. security let me in again and the person at the desk helped me out. Went upstairs using the elevator and got my picture taken and paid for my passport renewal. Was fast. Didn't have to wait too long. I scheduled my appointment weeks in advance online (be fast because slots are reserved quick). The only thing I can complain about is the passport tracker they have on their website is not accurate. It shows "In Progress" for me even though I already received my new passport in the mail.

I recently finished my dual citizenship and new passport application at PCGSF - both services completed within a week of each other. Overall, I'd say my experience was quite positive - I was treated with professionalism and courtesy. Admittedly, the trickiest part of the entire process is securing the necessary appointment(s) which I was fortunately able to do 7 weeks in advance. So I definitely recommend planning ahead. Also, make sure you have photocopies of everything (and I mean everything). UPDATE April 6, 2022 -- My passport was delivered to me this week via USPS Priority. So from the time of my appointment UNTIL the day of actual passport delivery, it took almost 7 weeks (which is within the stated range of 6 - 8 weeks). Anyway, I hope this information is useful for your future travel planning.

My husband needed to renew his passport and I needed to do my Dual Citizenship... It's hard to get an appointment, just need to be patient. Everyone in the embassy are very courteous and helpful . The process went well and amazingly fast. Did my oath taking at the same day. THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING US... Always observe social distancing and wear your face mask. ●NOTE● Make sure to prepare all your documents and requirements befor your appointment for faster transaction. No walk-in Strictly by appointment only

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I have prepared a Will that needs legal procedures to be valid: If I have several Self-Proving witnesses, do I need to bring all of them personally in order to have my document notarized? If it is difficult to secure their attendance, would my presence alone, without them appearing personally be sufficient to secure all the authentication of my Will signed by witnesses beforehand?

I had set my appointment back in September 2020 when their backlog was on only six months. I flew from Seattle to do so. You just need to go to their website and actually sign up. Asking it here will not satisfy your question: https://pcgsanfrancisco.org/passport/ Two important tips: 1. Sign up on the website. They are not known to return phone calls or emails. 2. Take your appointment time seriously. Show up on time for your verified appointment and none of this "Filipino Time" nonsense.

Esther Bello | Sep 6, 2021
Patrick Marshall | Sep 6, 2021

What I think you are asking is do you require international certification for the sale for California tax purposes? The SF embassy is not the best place to try to contact since they don't reply to phone or email promptly and only grants in person appointments weeks or months in advance. I suggest you try either a Philipines government source in the Phillipines (directly) or the California department of state for their documentation requirements.

Hi, im flying to the phillippines on Jan. 6, 2021, i need to know if there is accredited hospital or clinic for swab testing that is required 72 hrs before travel

marieatdec | Sep 6, 2021
Patrick Marshall | Sep 6, 2021

The San Franciso Phillipines CG is very difficult to reach via phone or email. If you can find the info on the website I would go with that. Appointments are only being granted for months ahead, so don't bother trying for before Jan 6. The CG opens at 10am weekdays, but nobody answers the phone. For anything definative, you may have to reach out directly to a government source in the Phillipines via email. Hope this helps.

Loving Dentistry | Sep 6, 2021
Terrell Burkhart | Sep 6, 2021

Yes, use your local Consulate to email them and get answers. But don't stop with just their website email. I also used Facebook as well, found that Consulate's FB page and asked them questions. If you are within driving distance to your Consulate then I would drop off the documents ...just the guard you need to drop off documents. He or she will call the Visa desk. You have to use UPS for overnight package shipment. As far as paying for the Visa, I put a 100 dollar bill inside my passport. You can get a money order or whatever else your Consulate will accept as payment.
