Applicants are required to present a valid Philippine passport, a post-issued certification, or a certified true copy of the order approving their retention or reacquisition of Philippine citizenship. Seafarers may also submit a photocopy of their Seafarer’s Identification and Record Book.
Applications may be filed at Philippine embassies, consulates, designated registration centers abroad, the Comelec Office for Overseas Voting in Manila, or at local field registration centers in the Philippines during office hours.
The last overseas registration period ran from Dec. 9, 2022 to Sept. 30, 2024. For the May 2025 elections, Comelec recorded about 1.241 million registered overseas voters, spread across the Middle East, North America, Asia and Oceania, and Africa.
