Blurred NSO BC - Clerical Error

[Jim&Gracey 2]

Month of January, 2013 I applied for my passport at DFA Marquee Mall in Angeles Pampanga. I was with my fiance then. So, what happened was they rejected my NSO BC copy and asked me to show my municipal registrar version. Oh yeah, how on earth I didn't noticed that my NSO BC copy is blurry! It's really unreadable (blotted ink). Anyway I got my passport. And to prevent the same issue, I went to the NSO office today (in preparation for my interview) got my CENOMAR and of course my unreadable BC! After all my questions were answered differently by the NSO employees, I went to our municipal office and showed them my NSO BC copy. They made an endorsement letter and re-typed my BC. I was asked to go to the post office which was few meters away (thanks God) and go back to them to have the receipt photo copied. And so, after few minutes I came back and they told me to wait 10 working days before going back to the NSO office and go straight to the electronic endorsement window.

They gave me a copy of the receipt from the post office, and a letter of endorsement plus the new copy of BC which I have to show to the NSO people.

Anyway, It's 150.00 pesos for the clerical error endorsement.

I had a similar issue when I applied for passport in San Fernando, La Union. The DFA employee was so finnicky that he wants to know if the letter was C or G. he directed me to get confirmation at the NSO. I didn't need to wait 10 days and I did not have to pay. They just wrote a letter stating/confirming my mother's maiden name. I got it in a few minites. This was in 2008.
