Hi guys! My mother just got an RFE because I think her birth certificate was not clear. She got it from NSO/PSA. However, she said the one from Civil Registrar’s office (where the NSO/PSA) got it from, is clear. Do you think it will be ok to just send the one from Civil Registrar? Thank you!

 This may help you. I think they only accept documents that are printed on PSA security paper if I am not mistaken.

reference: Blurred | Philippine Statistics Authority (psa.gov.ph)

Blurred

If the record of PSA is blurred, the local civil registrar shall be requested to endorse a copy of the birth certificate with clearer entry in the first name to the PSA.

If the record of PSA and civil registry are both blurred, a petition for correction of clerical error under the provisions of R.A. 9048 should be filed

Who Shall File

  • the owner of the document or any authorized representative
  • National Statistics Office
  • owner of the record
  • owners spouse
  • children
  • parents
  • brothers
  • sisters
  • grandparents
  • guardian
  • other person duly authorized by law or by the owner of the document sought to be corrected;
  • if owner of the record is a minor or physically or mentally incapacitated, petition may be filed by his spouse, or any of his children, parents, brothers; sisters; grandparents, guardians, or persons duly authorized by law.

Where to File

  • If born in the Philippines

    • Civil registry office where the birth certificate is registered
  • If born abroad

    • Philippine Consulate Office where the birth is reported

For R.A. 9048:

  • If born in the Philippines

    • The petition shall be filed with the local civil registry office of the city or municipality where the birth is registered.
    • When the petitioner had already migrated to another place within the Philippines and it would not be practical for such party to appear in person with the civil registrar of the place of birth, the petition may be filed with the civil registry office where he/she is currently residing
  • If born abroad

    • If born abroad, with the Philippine Consulate where the birth was reported.
