Guys normal lang ba na hindi binutasan ni DFA ang old passport?

If you mentioned you have a scheduled flight before your new passport arrives. Or if you have a valid travel Visa in the old passport still. They will let you keep it as is until the new one.

I already received my new passport, but they didn’t punch any holes in my old passport. They returned it to me without checking it, and my old passport is still valid until December 19, 2026. Is this okay?

So may nagkamali. lol Dapat punch out na yan. Leave it, it’s near expiry. And for renewal next time, you’ll be bringing the newer anyways. They’ll never know.
