  "description": "Application for a Philippine passport — first-time (new) issuance, renewal, or replacement of a lost or damaged passport — for an applicant who is 18 or older, filed through the Department of Foreign Affairs' Office of Consular Affairs (DFA-OCA) Online Passport Appointment System (passport.gov.ph). Unlike some jurisdictions in this registry, the Philippines uses a single online wizard for every scenario rather than a separate form per scenario; the applicant's request category (new, renewal, or lost/damaged) is itself a field on the form (applicationType), so this document models that single wizard rather than splitting first-time/renewal/lost into separate schemas, consistent with how br/pf/passport-application models Brazil's equivalent unified wizard. Completing the wizard reserves a specific DFA site, date, and time slot and then collects the applicant's Personal, Family, Application, and Contact Information before payment; this document models only the four applicant-data steps (Personal Information, Family Information, Application Information, Contact Information) — it does not model the Site Location or Date and Time steps, since those select an appointment slot rather than collect passport-application data, nor does it submit the application; passport.gov.ph is always authoritative. Scoped to an adult applicant (18 or older); the minor-applicant path on the same wizard additionally requires a parent/guardian consent block not modelled here (see VERIFICATION.md).",

    "notes": "Source-derived reference schema authored against the live, unauthenticated DFA Online Passport Appointment System via headless-browser DOM extraction: every applicant-data field's id and name were read directly from the live wizard, which serves the full set of downstream-step field names as hidden inputs from the Date and Time step onward (the same 'whole-wizard-in-one-load' shape documented for br/pf/passport-application, though here the Personal/Family/Application/Contact Information steps themselves render only after a reCAPTCHA challenge on the Date and Time step is solved). This document deliberately stops short of solving that reCAPTCHA or completing a real appointment reservation — doing so would consume genuinely scarce real DFA appointment inventory for schema-authoring purposes, the exact concern the prior GOV-1466/GOV-1490 research cycles raised when screening and deferring this vertical. Consequently, field labels, select-option lists, and required/optional markers for the four applicant-data steps are not independently confirmed against a live render and are instead inferred from field-name semantics and corroborating DFA-affiliated public documentation (requirements pages, consular post mirrors); see VERIFICATION.md for the full, itemized disclosure. Status remains 'draft' pending an independent second reviewer's field-by-field pass and, ideally, a future confirmation pass that does not require holding a real appointment slot."
