Where these figures come from
About these figures: the numbers below come from DFA's official published sources: Philippine Embassy Riyadh | Consular Services Fees (published 28 April 2026) (https://riyadhpe.dfa.gov.ph/consular-services/schedule-of-fees, retrieved 2026-09-01). Agencies change fees and rates without notice, so confirm with DFA before you rely on them. Last verified: 2026-09-01.
Riyadh publishes one of the most complete consular fee schedules of any post on this site, and publishes it as three JPEG images, which is why almost nobody can find the number they need.
Passport
| Service | Regular | With expedite |
|---|---|---|
| e-Passport, new or renewal | SAR 240.00 | n/a |
| e-Lost Passport | SAR 600.00 | n/a |
| Travel document | SAR 120.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| Affidavit for loss of passport | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
A lost passport costs 2.5 times a renewal, and neither can be expedited. Add the affidavit and a lost e-Passport reaches SAR 700.00.
The flat SAR 100.00 band
This is the schedule’s most useful feature. Almost every notarial, certification and civil registry item is the same price:
| Category | Fee | Expedite |
|---|---|---|
| Special powers of attorney: general, irrevocable, revocation, absolute general, joint, addendum | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| Affidavits, support and consent, paternity, one and the same, person, custody, undertaking, denial, child custody, support to travel, general, spousal consent, marital consent, late registration, desistance, two disinterested persons, rejoinder, guarantee, mutilation, use of surname of father | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| Certifications: letter of authorization, memorandum of agreement, authority to sell, letter of intent, legal instrument | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| Other documents, contract to sell, employment contract, programme of agreement, deed of cancellation, transfer of ownership, marital settlement agreement, health settlement form, extrajudicial settlement of estate, motion to withdraw complaint, legal capacity to contract marriage, claimant statement form | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| NBI or police clearance | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
Civil registry
| Service | Regular | With expedite |
|---|---|---|
| Report of birth | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| Report of death | SAR 100.00 | n/a |
| Report of marriage | SAR 100.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| Application for marriage | SAR 200.00 | n/a |
| Solemnization of marriage | SAR 240.00 | n/a |
Corrections and dual citizenship
| Service | Fee | Expedite |
|---|---|---|
| Correction of entry, cited as R.A. 9048 | SAR 200.00 | n/a |
| Correction of first name, cited as R.A. 9248 | SAR 600.00 | n/a |
| Correction of gender, day or year of birth, cited as R.A. 10172 | SAR 600.00 | n/a |
| Dual citizenship, R.A. 9225 | SAR 200.00 | n/a |
One of those citations does not match the law. Correction of a first name is governed by RA 9048, the same statute the line above cites for correction of entry. RA 9248 is not the first-name statute. The figures are reproduced here exactly as the Embassy publishes them, including the citation, because that is what its own schedule says, but check with the Embassy which service you are actually paying SAR 600.00 for.
The PSA correction of name guide covers the Philippine-side process and which statute governs which change.
Visas
| Category | Validity | Regular | Expedite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processing application fee | - | SAR 100.00 | n/a |
| A, non restricted, single entry | 3 months | SAR 120.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| A, multiple entry | 6 months | SAR 240.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| A, multiple entry | 1 year | SAR 360.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| B, restricted, single entry | 3 months | SAR 160.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| B, multiple entry | 6 months | SAR 320.00 | SAR 40.00 |
| B, multiple entry | 1 year | SAR 480.00 | SAR 40.00 |
Category B is consistently one third more than Category A at every validity.
Other collections
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Photocopying services | SAR 0.50 |
| Expedite fee | SAR 40.00 |
Riyadh charging SAR 0.50 a copy is worth knowing precisely because posts differ: the Embassy in London states it has no photocopying services at all and tells applicants to arrive with copies made.
The format problem
The schedule is published as 3 JPEG images, dated 28 April 2026. It cannot be searched, copied or read by a screen reader, which is a real accessibility failure on a government fee schedule and the reason this page reproduces it in full as text.

Frequently asked questions
- How much is a passport at the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh?
- SAR 240.00 for an e-Passport, new or renewal. A lost e-Passport is SAR 600.00, and neither carries an expedite option. A travel document is SAR 120.00 and an affidavit for loss of passport SAR 100.00.
- What is the expedite fee?
- A flat SAR 40.00, added to most services. It is not available on every item: the e-Passport, the lost e-Passport, report of death, application for marriage, solemnization of marriage and all four correction and dual citizenship services are marked n/a.
- How much are notarial services?
- SAR 100.00 for essentially all of them, plus SAR 40.00 if expedited. That single rate covers special powers of attorney, affidavits of every kind the Embassy lists, certifications, employment contracts, deeds and settlement agreements.
- What does dual citizenship cost there?
- SAR 200.00 under RA 9225, with no expedite option.
- Do they charge for photocopies?
- Yes, SAR 0.50 per copy. That is worth knowing because not every post offers photocopying at all, the Embassy in London states it has none.
- How much is an NBI or police clearance through the Embassy?
- SAR 100.00, plus SAR 40.00 with expedite. It sits in the notarial and other documents band with everything else.
- Is the fee schedule easy to read?
- Not machine-readable. The Embassy publishes it as three JPEG images rather than text, so it cannot be searched or copied, and screen readers cannot reach it.
- There is a legal citation that looks wrong. Which one?
- The schedule cites R.A. 9248 for correction of a first name. Correction of clerical errors and change of first name are governed by RA 9048, which the same schedule cites correctly on the line above. This page reproduces both exactly as published rather than correcting them.
