What does it mean to submit to a biometrics capture?

Biometrics capture means that your photograph, signature and fingerprint will be electronically recorded using special digital equipment.

If I download the OAVF No. 1 from the website of the COMELEC or the DFA-OAVS, how should I proceed with application for registration/certification as an overseas voter?

You have to:

i. Accomplish OAVF No.1;
ii. Personally appear at the Post that has consular jurisdiction over the locality where you temporarily reside or at the designated Registration Centres at Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Ninoy Aquino International Airports (NAIA), Overseas Workers Welfare Association (OWWA) Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) Joint Manning Group (JMG), Philippine Transmarine Corporation (PTC) and Department of Foreign Affairs – Office of Consular Affairs (DFA-OCA);
iii. Submit the accomplished OAVF No. 1 together with your supporting documents; and
iv. Submit to a biometrics capture

May I submit my accomplished OAVF No. 1 and submit myself for live capture of my biometrics on different days?

No, you may not. The accomplished OAVF No. 1 must be turned in on the same day that you intend to have your biometrics taken because even if you have submitted in your OAVF No. 1 but have not had your biometrics taken, your application will still be deemed NOT FILED.
