If your ancestors emigrated from or immigrated to the Philippines, there may be a record in the Records Management and Archives Office or in the Commission on Immigration and Deportation, Department of Foreign Affairs. These records generally provide at least:
*'''1866-1897''' {{FSC|576440|item|disp=Pasaportes de chinos, 1866-1897}}, images Chinese passports
 
*The person’s name
*A place
*A date
 
Sometimes they give information about:
 
*Parents
*Religious affiliation
*Tribute status
*Age
 
----
The Spanish administration kept fairly detailed emmigration records. The Records Management and Archives Office has a small collection of passports (''pasaportes''), deportations (''deportados''), and foreign passports (''pasaportes de estranjeros''). However, Chinese passports were often recorded separately under Chinese passports (''pasaportes de chinos'').
 
Most of these records have been microfilmed and are available at the Family History Library. To find deportation records, see the FamilySearch Catalog, Locality section. Look for the county and then under “Emigration and Immigration.”
 
-----
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has records about people who emigrated, immigrated, or gave service in consulates and embassies in foreign countries. The address of the ministry is:
 
'''Ministry of Foreign Affairs'''<br>Padre Faura<br>Ermita, Manila<br>Metropolitan Manila, Philippines<br>Internet: http://www.dfa.gov.ph/
 
=== Immigration and Naturalization Records (''Radicación de extranjeros, Pasaportes, Naturalización de Españoles'') ===


Research use:  Very valuable for making proper connections to place of origin in other countries, and for pinpointing place of residence in the Philippines.  Many researchers do not know their ancestor's place of origin.
==Finding the Town of Origin in Philippines==
 
If you are using emigration/immigration records to find the name of your ancestors' town in Philippines, see [[Philippines Finding Town of Origin|'''Philippines Finding Town of Origin''']] for additional research strategies.
Record type: Passenger lists, passports, certificates of residence, registers of foreigners, citizenship papers.

Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups.
 
[[Category:Emigration and Immigration Records]]
Content: Immigrant’s name, age, occupation, birth date and place, former residence, destination; wife’s name, childrens’ given names and ages or number of children; religion, race, nationality, sometimes picture.  Chinese immigration records give names and places in Chinese characters.
