DOT Travel Agency Accreditation Application Form

Streamline Your DOT Travel Agency Accreditation with Paperform

If you're establishing or renewing a travel agency in the Philippines, securing Department of Tourism (DOT) accreditation is essential for legal operation and credibility. This DOT Travel Agency Accreditation Application Form is designed specifically for travel agencies navigating Philippine regulatory requirements, including IATA certification verification, bond posting documentation, and mandatory insurance coverage.

Built for Philippine Travel Agencies and Tourism Professionals

This template addresses the unique compliance landscape facing travel agencies, tour operators, and tourism service providers in the Philippines. Whether you're a startup travel agency seeking initial accreditation, an established operator renewing certification, or an IATA-certified agency expanding services, this form captures all the critical information DOT requires—from business registration details and TIN verification to financial securities and insurance documentation.

The form guides applicants through each accreditation category (General Travel Agency, Inbound Tour Operator, Domestic Tour Operator, or Outbound Travel Agency) while conditionally collecting relevant supporting documentation. It streamlines what is typically a paper-intensive process into a single, professional digital submission.

Why Paperform for Philippine Regulatory Forms

Paperform's document-style editor lets you create professional, on-brand forms that reflect your agency's credibility—crucial when dealing with government accreditation. The platform's file upload capabilities handle multiple document types (SEC registration, BIR certificates, insurance policies, bond certificates) with secure storage, while conditional logic ensures applicants only see questions relevant to their agency type and IATA status.

For agencies managing multiple accreditation cycles or client bookings alongside compliance work, Stepper (stepper.io) can automate your post-submission workflow—routing applications for internal review, sending reminders for missing documents, updating tracking spreadsheets, and notifying relevant team members when accreditation milestones are reached.

Once accredited, the same Paperform account can power your client-facing booking forms, tour registration, payment collection via Philippine-supported payment processors, and Papersign (papersign.com) can handle travel waiver signatures and booking agreements—keeping your entire operation within one secure, compliant platform.

Philippine travel agencies trust Paperform because it combines the professional presentation government regulators expect with the flexibility tourism businesses need to adapt quickly. Every form is mobile-responsive, accessible in remote areas with varying connectivity, and backed by SOC 2 Type II security standards that protect sensitive business and financial documents.
