Looking at the food and craft stalls at the mall

Happy Wednesday to all.

Yesterday, I had no face to face classes and I was so lucky because it was my appointment to get my passport renewal. My mom applied online a few months ago because it is going to expire soon. For minors like me, our passport is only valid for 5 years and for adults, its 10 years. My mom's passport is still valid for 6 years.

My appointment was set at 3pm and we were there at the office at 2:30pm. My mom asked the guard if we were already allowed to get inside and he said yes. Mom presented my papers and then he let us get inside the office. When we were inside, it's was only us who were there. It was done so fast. They only checked my papers, then to encoding area, then they had my fingerprints and photo shoot. I did not like my photo at first so I asked the employee to take one more time, but I still chose the firs one because I looked angry on the second one lol funny.

After that, they told us that my passport will be released and sent to our house on October 10 onward. It was quick so we took a walk around the mall where the office was located and window shopped a little bit.

That's my Wednesday Walk story for today and thank you for reading. Good evening to all and goodnight soon for me because I am still going to review my books.

Xoxo,

No, tita. I am still minor. My passport is only for 5 years. My old passport is going to expire. My mom's passport has 10 years validity so she did not renew yet, tita @grecyg

Thats great the process went pretty quickly here doing anything like that can mean long queues and waiting

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

That looked so easy! No queue is the best, just breeze through. The release is also quite fast.
