I’m pretty sure you have with you a municipal document which you refer to as your birth certificate. Although that is accepted, in most instances such as applying for work, passport processing, getting your SSS number or NBI, and a lot more, they require the National Statistics Office – authenticated birth certificate which will serve as a proof of your citizenship in the Philippines. If you don’t have one then you might be wondering how to get NSO birth certificate in the Philippines. Well, read more on how you can easily get it.
Guide to Getting your National Statistics Office – Certified Birth Certificate
First up is to contact the NSO office near you and inquire whether they have a file of your birth registration. This is often a problem by several people, particularly the elders. In the instance that they don’t have your record, you can file for a Delayed Registration of Birth or better yet, go back to the Local Civil Registrar of the hometown where you were born to obtain a birth certificate from them.
There isn’t much requirements needed for you to get your NSO birth certificate except for the municipal birth certificate that you’re holding. And once you have that, you can go to any branch of NSO near your place. (On a personal note, Manila branches are way better for me.)
Once you are in the office, you will be asked to fill out an application form. Therefore, it is important that you know some necessary information such as the name at birth, birthday, birthplace, your parents’ name as well as you mom’s maiden name, and the year of birth registration.
Now, the last thing to do is to fall in line, and wait for your application to be processed. This entails payment fee of 125 Php wait for its release and tada – you have it in one day. Its validity doesn’t expire. In cases of correction and change name, you may have to send docs supplementing the correction via mail to the NSO main office in Quezon City.
