Hey Rookie, I actually ran into the same issue recently with the PSA birth certificate being blurry and hard to read. After going through the same frustrating back-and-forth with the local PSA office, I finally found a solution through the PSA Complex in East Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City. That’s their main office, and it’s where I was able to request a clearer, updated copy successfully. It took a bit of time, but it worked. You might want to give that a try—hope it helps!
