DUAL CITIZENSHIP

Please visit https://philembassy.org.au/consular/dual-citizenship for the complete list of requirements. Only those who have received approval letters from the Consul General/Consul and have confirmed appointments will be allowed to take the oath during the mobile mission. Please note that the Embassy’s auto-reply for all emails is NOT a confirmation of your appointment for the oath-taking ceremony.

Please send an email with the subject “DUAL CITIZENSHIP - DARWIN Mobile Mission 2025” to mobilemission@philembassy.org.au and attach a copy of the approval letter from the Consul to book an appointment for oath-taking which will be conducted at 9:00 AM on 16 September 2025 (Tuesday). All queries on dual citizenship will only be responded to via this email address. Since the certificates will be prepared and signed before the mobile mission team travels to Darwin, any applicant who does not have a confirmed appointment cannot be accommodated onsite.

For those who intend to join the oath ceremony during the consular mission but have not yet filed their dual citizenship applications, or have yet to complete their applications, they may submit their complete applications and documents to the Philippine Embassy in Canberra via registered mail on or before 05 September 2025. The Mobile Mission Team will not accept and process applications during the consular mission.

Dual citizenship oath-taking is also held year-round at the Philippine Embassy in Canberra every Thursday, subject to prior confirmation of appointment.

The information provided in the online appointment system and the passport application form must be true and correct. The documents that will be submitted should be authentic. Under the law, making false statements in passport application form, furnishing falsified or forged documents in support thereof are punishable by law.

This appointment and scheduling system allocates slots on a first come, first served basis. Appointment slots are not for sale and non-transferrable.

Users accept the responsibility for supplying, checking, and verifying the accuracy and correctness of the information they provide on this system in connection with their application. Incorrect or inaccurate information supplied may result in suspension or rejection of your application.

Any information submitted in the system is subject to data privacy/protection and other pertinent laws and regulations.

The email account used for the appointment must be valid, active and accessible as the appointment confirmation will be sent to that email account. Users must have a valid Gmail or Yahoo email address. Contact details to be provided, such as address and phone numbers, should be the contact details used in Australia so that these may be used in contacting the applicant should there be a need to do so in relation to his/her passport application.

Please ensure that you select the correct site, "Outreach Mission - Darwin NT", when setting up the appointment. Only those with appointments at the correct site will be accommodated.

Applicants who wish to change their appointments are reminded to cancel their old appointment schedule before securing a new appointment slot in order to avoid multiple bookings.

Filipinos who have acquired Australian citizenship through naturalization have lost their Philippine citizenship. They are not allowed to apply for a Philippine passport until they have reacquired/retained their Philippine citizenship under the Philippine Republic Act 9225 (Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003).
