Regular computerized passports will be available starting Friday afternoon at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
But the electronic or machine-readable passports will be issued initially to applicants of passport renewal. First-time applicants will still get the old green passports with handwritten entries.
“We are still in the transition period. Those who will renew their passport on Friday will be issued a Machine-Readable Passport (MRP). But we will accept new applicants for MRP passport by September 17," explained DFA Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Domingo Lucenario.

E-Passport is a good system.
How many finger print identification per second will this
e-passport produce?
If it will take 100,000 to 200,000 fingerprint per second, it's indeed a good system.
Speed is the most important for fingerprint identification.
Because during enrollment time, a process of identification is must, to enable person not to have a multiple record.
If process time takes an hour or half or two for identification, a
bunch of people will be waiting for one person having an identification. Most of this circumstances will occur during the
record will reach 100,000 fingerprint(F.P) to more.
Note that were about to reach 100,000,000(million) population, and 50 percent of grown men will probably take an e-passport.
We hope this e-passport can offer as a true comfort.
And!, can this be helpful? Or just having millions of Peso budget for this new system, How can they track records if one enrolling has a previous criminal record?
We know they don't issue if a person has a criminal record.
Of-course there must be a fingerprint identification access to the Police or NBI fingerprint records too. Or the Police and NBI has no exact system for national fingerprint tracking, and even getting a Police clearance is just as simple as getting a Visitor ID pass.
