UPDATED 2018: Check your documents before going to the DFA to get a Philippine Passport


Yes guys it’s important to check your documents first before going to DFA to get a Philippine Passport. I don’t want you to experience the same thing that we have experienced. It took me a month to finish the whole process of correcting my son’s PSA birth certificate.

I. FOR FIRST TIME PASSPORT APPLICANTS:

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

• Personal appearance
• Confirmed appointment
• Duly accomplished DFA Passport Application form– may be downloaded from the DFA website, www.dfa.gov.ph
• Birth Certificate (BC) in Security Paper (SECPA) issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) or Certified True Copy (CTC) of BC issued by the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) and duly authenticated by PSA. Transcribed Birth Certificate from the LCR is required when entries in PSA Birth Certificate are blurred or unreadable. (REPORT OF BIRTH DULY AUTHENTICATED BY PSA IF BORN ABROAD)
• Valid picture IDs and supporting documents to prove identity (Please refer to List of Acceptable IDs and List of Supporting Documents)

The following applicants need to submit additional requirements:

  • Married women — marriage contract issued by the NSO.
No appointment is needed for the following:
  1. Senior Citizen with Senior ID
  2. Person with Disability (PWD) with PWD ID or visible disability
  3. Solo Parent with Valid Single/Solo Parent ID
  4. Pregnant women with medical certificate
  5. Minors seven (7) years old and below

OUR STORY: 

Getting a passport can be as fast as 30minutes if you will not encounter any problem in your documents. We went there on a Friday afternoon and the process was smooth. My husband did not encounter any problems with his papers, unlike with me and my son.

As per the the documents needed posted on the DFA website, I brought with me an original NSO copy of my birth certificate and marriage contract issued by the Local Civil Registrar and duly authenticated by NSO.

But they told me that they won’t accept it because they want a latest NSO copy.

I got this November 2007

I got this November 2007

I didn’t know that there’s an expiration date with government documents. I don’t get the logic why they need the latest copy. The information in it is still the same even if I get a new one, right? hmmmm….

But, I can’t do anything but just to follow.

On the other hand, Ren’s NSO birth certificate problem is that the “Place of Birth” area is empty.

NSO COPY

I have a copy from the Local Civil Registrar and as you can see the place of birth is visible here.

LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRAR COPY

Still, the DFA didn’t want to accept it. They asked me to go to the Municipality where Ren was born and file for a supplemental report.

That’s why it’s important to check your NSO documents first. If you’ve noticed some discrepancies like missing letters, wrong spelling, wrong date, without place of birth etc. then it’s better to visit your municipality and file a supplemental report before going to the DFA.

Because of my busy schedule, it’s only last April 25 when I had the chance to visit Manila City Hall.

Here are the requirements for a supplemental report.

DFA Documents

I thought I won’t be needing other local documents because I already have a SECPA copy of Ren’s birth certificate, but they still asked me to get a latest copy. Again, I don’t get it. Why does everybody wants a latest copy when the information they’ll be getting is still the same???

Overall I spent P650 for this supplemental report that in the first place is not my fault. It also took me 2 hours to finish all the procedures needed to get the Certified True Copy of Ren’s birth certificate.

Registration: P310.00
Transmittal to NSO: P190.00
Certified True Copy of Birth Certificate: P50.00
Notary Public : P100.00

And worse, I need to return the next day to get it. Imagine the time, effort and cost I spent for this. Argh!!!

After finishing the supplemental report (which I think took me 2 weeks), I brought the documents to NSO/PSA office in Quezon City. After filling up some information there, they will ask you to go back after a week to get the corrected copy.

Overall, it took me almost a month to finish the process.

      Nag appointment ako dati sa DFA Aseana only to have the tell me dapat same yung birth place sa birth certificate and sa Appointment form. Mali kasi nung hospital, nilagay lng sa birth place ko is “QMMC” which is the shortned name of the hospital, pero nilagay ko sa Appointment form is complete like “QMMC, Quezon City”.
      So better have it corrected or at least kung ano nasa birth certificate mo, same din lagay mo sa forms.

    Regarding the copy of Birth Certificate from NSO, it doesn’t have to be the latest copy as long as it is from the NSO since there is already a directive from the NSO that BC from NSO DOES NOT expire.

    Read here the directive from the NSO:
    ===========================
    “Press statement on the issue that civil registry documents such as birth, death and marriage certificates expire
    Reference Number:
    2016-098
    Release Date:
    Thursday, June 30, 2016

    It has come to our attention that there are persons who have the impression that the civil registry documents, particularly birth certificates issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), expire after six months from date of issuance.

    In this connection, we would like to clarify and let the general public know that birth certificates are permanent records of the identities of each individual and do not have expiration period.

    The facts contained therein do not change and cannot be altered unless, otherwise, there is a court order or the birth document underwent administrative corrections as provided under Republic Acts 9048 and 10172 (Clerical Error Laws). The modifications in information on the facts of birth are indicated as remarks or annotations in the documents

    PSA would like to clarify that some features of the security paper (SECPA) wherein the document it issues are being printed, such as its colour, is being changed after some time. The said measure is being implemented to prevent the proliferation of fake documents and to preserve the integrity of PSA-issued documents.

    We would like to make it clear that even when the PSA has changed the features of the document it issues from its Civil Registry System database, it does not mean that the previously issued copies using the “old SECPA” are no longer valid. The facts of birth contained in the “old SECPA” is still the same and does not expire unless there have been authorized annotations.

    Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that the decisions of the end-users (i.e. DFA, Embassies/Consulates, GSIS/SSS, etc.) to require its clients/applicants to submit birth documents in the most recent SECPA from the PSA for purposes of passport issuance, visa application, benefits claim, as a school requirement, among others, is beyond our control.#

    wish i saw your blog sooner. had my appointment earlier in DFA-Alabang ang they refuse to honor the NSO issued w/ OR attached BC. Copy was back in 2004, stating it’s too old and they can only honor the yellow sealed NSO paper. As if my BC will change!!! Such waste of time!

      Regarding the copy of Birth Certificate from NSO, it doesn’t have to be the latest copy as long as it is from the NSO since there is already a directive from the NSO that BC from NSO DOES NOT expire.

      Read here the directive from the NSO:
      ===========================
      “Press statement on the issue that civil registry documents such as birth, death and marriage certificates expire
      Reference Number:
      2016-098
      Release Date:
      Thursday, June 30, 2016

      It has come to our attention that there are persons who have the impression that the civil registry documents, particularly birth certificates issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), expire after six months from date of issuance.

      In this connection, we would like to clarify and let the general public know that birth certificates are permanent records of the identities of each individual and do not have expiration period.

      The facts contained therein do not change and cannot be altered unless, otherwise, there is a court order or the birth document underwent administrative corrections as provided under Republic Acts 9048 and 10172 (Clerical Error Laws). The modifications in information on the facts of birth are indicated as remarks or annotations in the documents

      PSA would like to clarify that some features of the security paper (SECPA) wherein the document it issues are being printed, such as its colour, is being changed after some time. The said measure is being implemented to prevent the proliferation of fake documents and to preserve the integrity of PSA-issued documents.

      We would like to make it clear that even when the PSA has changed the features of the document it issues from its Civil Registry System database, it does not mean that the previously issued copies using the “old SECPA” are no longer valid. The facts of birth contained in the “old SECPA” is still the same and does not expire unless there have been authorized annotations.

      Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that the decisions of the end-users (i.e. DFA, Embassies/Consulates, GSIS/SSS, etc.) to require its clients/applicants to submit birth documents in the most recent SECPA from the PSA for purposes of passport issuance, visa application, benefits claim, as a school requirement, among others, is beyond our control.#

      National Statistician and Civil Registrar General”

            Correctional na daw po iyun. Wag daw po maniwala s dfa na supplemental lang. And it will take 4 to 5 mos pa. BUT in case nung skin yung name ng hospital ay nakagitna na sa place of birth. Correctional n daw yun, kung supplemental yun maitatapat na s column ng provice. D nman daw province ang Manila. KAYA my chance pa na supplemental lang kung my space pa para sa idadagdag na info.

        The problem is that 1 month lang yung extension na binibigay nila pero the process for the supplemental (in this case name ng hospital only) takes almost a month. So by that time expired na schedule mo with DFA. What an inefficient Philippine government system. All the more I am beginning to be disappointed with this country.

    I had the same experience,,nawala passport ko this year so i decided to request for a passport replacement,kumuha ako ng Affidavit of loss, Police report and sched an appointment with the DFA along with my valid ID’s and PSA birth cert,but unfortunately hindi nila tinanggap yung PSA birth cert ko need ko daw kumuha ng local copy of my birth cert which is i don’t have an idea why I need to submit such document wherein my copy naman ako ng NSO birth and PSA birth cert. I don’t know what’s the basis of asking me to submit the said documents malinaw naman yung copy ng birth cert ko.

    minsan parang sinasadya lang ng mga government personnel na patagalin ang process or minsan sinasadya lang nila manghinge ng mga documents para rin kumita sila.

    I feel very bad about this kasi sayang yung effort ko.

    Hello momshie. Ask ko lng sana if may idea kayo sa concern ko. Last yr kasi di ako nakapagpatuloy magrenew ng passport ggamitin ko sana ung surname ni husband kasi nga kasal na ako pero nakitaan ng mali sa place of birth ng Marriage Contract namin. Need ko magfile for correction. Pero hndi ko onasikaso noon kasi nasadden po ako sa nangyari naisip ko na hndi tlaga para sa akin magabroad. Pero ngayon i have limited time nalang para kumuha ng passport ko kasi kailangan na raw talaga na makaalis ako need ko po mapadala by december to spain yon. Alam ko pag nagfile ako di na aabot kc 3-6 mos bago macorrect ung mistake. Dami pang need na requirements and shempre fees na naman.
    Pinaplano kong gamitin ang surname ng pagkadalaga ko para makarenew pero need ilagay sa appointment married pa din po ako dba? Nabasa ko may rights naman daw ang married woman na gmitin ang maiden name ko pa rin. Kaso iniisip ko baka ipadala na naman ang mali sa Marriage contract ko. Plus id ko surname na ng asawa ko. And uuwi na naman ako ng malungkot dahil sa mistake na yon na di ko naman kasalanan kundi ng municipal staff noong kinasal ako huhuhu

In this case, it’s up to you kung anong surname ang gagamitin mo. Regarding your ID siguro pwede ka magpa postal ID na lang using your surname and not your husband.

    Yes, valid to use pa din ang NSO BC.

    NSO BC ang ginamit ko to renew my passport. And for your reference you may check as well on DFA website, as it is stated there as well.

    Here’s the link.
    https://www.dfa.gov.ph/authentication-functions/113-newsroom/public-advisory/16917-frequently-asked-questions-on-dfa-passport-and-authentication-services

    If in case na di tanggapin ng DFA ang BC nyo, it’s simply means na may maling info sa BC nyo or bka dhil malabo na.

    So always check your BC prior your appointment pra macorrect agad and avoid delay in processing your passport application/renewal.

        Base on my experience… Nag process ako ng passport ko there is no checck sa gender. Pumayag nmn sila ng notar or bring supporting dox. Kpag may anak ka pwd birthcert ng baby mo as supporting dox katibayan na babae ka. But that was long time ago 2009. D ko sure kung ganun prin ngaun.

Nakapag book po ako ng appointment kahapon sa dfa para sa passport and hindi ko inaasahan monday next week na makuha ko, grab ko na din since super hirap mag hanap ng schedule. So i decided to get a new birth cert which is psa na, kaso nagka problem wala po akong gender sa birth, so i need to go back sa munisipyo kung saan ako pinanganak, pag punta ko dun ang daming requirements, like id’s katunayan na female ako., medical records at affidavit or supplementary. Nabigay ko namn po lahat binagay din saken ung copy of live birth ko ang kaso po sabi ung endorsement letter ko na ipapasa sa dfa after 15 days pa daw po. Possible po ba matanggap itong live birth ko kasama ng ibang documents ko. Hay tapos yung name ko po sa appointment online kulang ng joy. Possible po ba maayos ito duon ? thanks you.

Ang alam ko po, kailangan ng LCR copy, at meron din po ako nun kaso yung LCR ko ay 2001 pa na issue. Di rin po kaya ito tatanggapin? support lang naman po ito dun sa PSA ko. kung hindi po ito tatanggapin, pwede po bang ibang docs na lang ang gamitin at hindi LCR? salamat po.

The PSA copy I ordered online is yet to be delivered, I’m wondering if it’s alright if I follow up the BC na lang since malapit lang naman workplace ko. I dont mind if pabalikin ako as long as I dont have to pay again for a reappointment. Thanks.

I simply handed out the filled out form, 2 copies of the e receipt, and a photocopy of my passport. Then dere derecho na yung processing. Not sure lang kung ganito din sa ibang branch but thankfully hindi humingi ng cooy ng certificate ko.

          we have the same problem. You need to file petition for correction of clerical error of your birth certiifcate sa LCR. I’ve been waiting for 10 months already. And it was not yet corrected. Hindi rin kasi ako kinontact ng LCR na I have to pay some fees after they received the decision from OCRG. YUP. Ganun Kabagal.

    Hello po. Ask lng po ako, last January I went to DFA Tacloban to apply for a passport for me and my daughter. My daughter’s requirement is all good, she is 2y.o by the way. Tung sakin is yung my issue. I brought with me the original copy of my NSO. Ayaw nilang tanggapin because they said my middle name has blotches, I was born 1991 so yeah typewriter pa gamit dun. Although readable nmn yung middle name ko but they won’t accept it. So at the time they suggested something to me about going to the LCR where I was registered. After that, di ko na maalala yung sinabi nila kase nga shookt pa ako at the time. Imagine the long travel tapos wala palang maachieve. So ask ko lng po ano po gagawin ko when I go to the LCR, taga Leyte po ako, tapos Cebu ako pinanganak. Supplemental report din po ba? Or what? Sana po maliwanagan ako. Plan ko pumunta nang Cebu by May. Thank you po

The finality was sent to PSA-Manila last Mar26 to have it online. My schedule for appointment for passport Apr6, 2018. Fortunately, the accepted my application for passport even if there’s no annotated BC. I only gave them a copy of my petition and a copy of an action taken from the CRG that is affirmed and I prayed that it be accepted. God is good! Hope this information can help.

    Hi! We’re done with our appointment in DFA Alabang. Just want to give an update to everyone here. I was able to finally get my UMID. Yun lang tinanggap na ID ko ng DFA employee. Sabi niya hindi daw need yung premium postal and tin card ko. Hindi na naghanap ng supporting documents. I was just asked for my and my daughter’s original birth certificates, photocopies of our certificates and IDs. Same with my husband. Yung concern ko about his birth certificate na abbreviated yung place of birth: Cab. City NE = hindi na pinansin ng employee na nagcheck ng documents niya. Thank God. He provided his UMID and driver’s license.

    May photocopier sa DFA Alabang branch but I suggest that you make 3 copies for each of your documents/IDs so you can breeze through the lines. Our appointment was at 10am. We got there at 8am. May mga nakapila na. The good thing is we were able to finish our application in just 30 minutes.

    Tinanggap yung PSA birth certificates that we got last year. May nakasabay kaming guy kanina na pinabalik kasi blurry daw copy ng birth certificate niya.

Pero nakapagfile na ko ng petition for correction of my middle name sa BC ko this February. Binigyan na rin po ako ng certification from LCR na nagpapatunay na in-process na yung correction ng BC ko. 6 months po kasi yung processing nung correction.

      May nabasa po ako about supporting documents na similar sa question niyo. Ang ginawa daw ng iba ay nagdala ng old school IDs, transcript of records, old employment IDs, ITR, yearbook, baptismal certificate aside from the NBI, police clearance. I suggest na kumalap kayo ng mga old IDs para sure. May hinanapan nga daw ng old growing up pics eh. Siguro gusto talaga manigurado ng DFA employee. Haha! Nagprep din po ako ng documents ko for our appointment next week. I’m just waiting for my UMID to be delivered. So far, I have the premium postal ID I got last year pa, LTO student permit I got last month, TIN card, TOR from my university, old college ID, old employment IDs, PSA certificates, baptismal certificate (yung friend ko hiningian nito), SSS E-1 form. I’ll also bring my yearbook, old Philhealth MDR. I’ll also bring yung certified copy ng birth cert ko from the LCR and yung request for correction sa first name ko. Kahit madaming bitbit papunta dun, mabuti na kaysa pabalikin. For my daughter, I’ll bring her old school IDs, birth certificate, yung certificate of birth from the hospital and form 137.

    Hi,
    My wife and my 2-year old son just finished their passport application last Friday, Feb. 23, 2018. My wife’s Birth cert. and Marriage Certificate are both “NSO” stamped while my son’s Birth Cert. is “PSA” stamped. DFA ASEANA accepted it both, so I am not sure why some of the comments here are confusing (NSO not accepted anymore – maybe because its blurred or a bad copy). LOL anyways, that is just FYI.

    Hello Ma’am Levy!

    Ask q lang po tinatanggap pa po ba ung Postal ID sa DFA?
    Kasi sa DFA web page inalis na nila postal as primary ID. Naging supporting na lng po.

    Thanks.

    tanong ko lang po kong ma iisuehan po ba ako ng passport may mali kasi sa apelyido ng tatay ko sa nso birth nag kamali yung nanay ko dati ngayun ko lang po napansin na yung apelyido ng nanay ko ang nalagay niya sa dapat last name ng tatay ko. For example yun name ko po is Juana Dela Cruz Valenzuela, yung Maiden name ng nanay ko is Maria Vergara Dela Cruz,yung sa tatay ko nman po is Mario Pedrosa Dela Cruz , instead na Mario Pedrosa Valenzuela . Pano po ba yan ma iisuehan po ba ako ng Passport ng DFA? ,pero wala naman pong problema sa pangalan ko po and information ko . dahil okay naman pati bday ko yung surname lang talaga ng tatay ko ang mali. pano po ba yan makakakuha pa po ako ng passport?? since wala naman probs sa ids at pangalan q. nd naman need diba ang pangalan ng tatay po.?Nkapag pa appoint na po kasi ako

      I’m not sure, pero mukhang malaking pagkakamali ‘to. If you are near any DFA branch, please visit before your scheduled appointment to ask para magawan ng paraan kung di pwede.

    Hi Mommy Levy,

    How are you po?
    First time ko din kumuha ng passport (last January 15, 2018 ang appointment ko) at pinapabalik po ako dahil they were asking for supporting documents kasi ang nadala ko lang po is Postal ID na bago, NBI clearance at PSA copy na birth certificate. As of now, my docs are the following:

    Postal ID
    NBI clearance
    PSA copy of birth certificate
    Police clearance
    Philhealth MDR (they specifically asked for this)
    SSS Member data form (since 2 months pa ma release yung UMID po)
    Alumni ID
    Old college ID
    Cedula

    They asked for TOR and MDR but ang TOR ko po is 3-4 weeks pa ma release kaya dadalhin ko po yung alumni id tsaka old college id since andun naman sa list. Tapos d rin po ako makakuha nang voter’s certificate kasi d po makita sa comelec ang record ko kahit registered po ako.

    Sa tingin nyo po enough na ang mga ito? Thanks po sa advice.

        Hi, Mommy Levy! I read Aileen’s comment about the documents. I heard na sobrang strict na daw nowadays. In DFA’s old list, they used to accept the old college and company IDs, premium postal ID for primary identification but now they ask for the UMID, driver’s license etc. A girl who went to DFA Alimall told me that they asked her to reschedule once she has the SSS ID kahit ang dami na niyang dalang documents. Sobrang strict daw dun and she read a lot of negative feedback so she decided to wait for a schedule sa Novaliches na. I plan to get a TIN card, police clearance, SSS MDR in case hindi marelease in time yung ID. March pa appointment ko but I heard the UMID sometimes takes 2-3 months to be sent. I hope Aileen provides a feedback about her experience after. Thanks!

    Hi po,

    Got the same problem with Ren, wherein the only missing in the place of birth is ‘Manila’. In my BC is just the name of the lying-in, its address and Tondo. So I’m thankful that I was able to read this blog while doing my research. I prepared all the needed documents, even the DFA appointment paper that says I need supplemental for PoB, so I can l just pass it and hoping to be processed that day. However when I came to Manila City Hall they gave me a different requirement list, which is for CORRECTION OF BIRTHPLACE. It got more requirements that includes a certification from the hospital/lying-in of their address. I showed the DFA paper to the personnel at Step1 but mentioned that these are what I need. As I’ve checked they still have the same requirements for supplemental records so I know that they gave me a different list from what you’ve processed with Ren. I’m confused and decided to just go home and think of what to do, since I also don’t know the exact location of the lying-in where I was born. I’m currently working na din po and got a little time to processed these papers.

    PS. There is also a registration fee of P1000.00 that is indicated below that made me even believed they got me wrong.

    Should I go back there and ask for the supplemental requirements instead? Your suggestion will be a great help po. Thank you in advance.

    Hi po!

    I’ve got same problem with your son, no ‘Manila City’ in the Place of Birth, just the lying in clinic’s name then Tondo. And I’m thankful I got the chance to read this blog while doing my research. So i’m all prepared with my documents when I went to Manila City hall. However, when I got to the City Hall just this morning they gave me a different requirement. 🙁 They gave me the requirments for the correction of Birth place which includes going to the clinic to secure some certification. 🙁 As i’ve check they still have the same requirments for the supplemental report. I dont know what to follow. I’ve got little time since I’m already working na po.

    PS. There’s a fee for registration that is included. I’m thinking I am already registered and its not right to pay for another registration when i just have to add ‘Manila’ in my Place of Birth?

    Hi, mommy levy! I’m experiencing the same thing too 🙁 I really am desperate because why should I fix something that wasn’t my fault in the first place? The problem with my birth certificate is that the place of my birth is abbreviated. LC ang nakalagay instead of Lucena City. I already filed for a correction but they said it will take up to 4-5 months. Why is that? 🙁 I’ve read that your son was able to get it corrected within 7 days. Is the location a factor? I live here in Quezon Province. Should I go to Manila mismo para mapacorrect ko po agad yung birth certificate?

    Please help me 🙁

      it took us a month to correct it (PSA copy) not 7 days Melody. Yes I think the location is one of the factor.

      Medyo nagworry ako sa question ng isang reader. I checked my husband’s PSA birth certificate and indicated sa place of birth is Cab. City for Cabanatuan City then abbreviated yung Nueva Ecija as N. E. Would that be a problem, Mommy Levy? Kasi if ever, papalakad ko na. Sa March yung appointment namin na buong family. Nakakaloka kasi di naman fault ng mga tao yan. Yung mga nagfill out for NSO before may kagagawan. Tsk tsk.

      Would 2 PSA marriage certificates be enough? Kasama namin ng husband ko daughter namin sa pag-apply. I filled out her info sa appointment kasi mag-8 years old na siya next month.

    Will these documents/IDs suffice for new passport application:

    premium postal ID
    old college and old employment IDs
    PSA copy birth and marriage certificates I got months ago
    SSS E-1 form
    barangay clearance
    year book and transcript of grades I got more than a decade ago from my university

    I’m a freelancer and I don’t know how to drive so yung premium postal ID lang gov’t issued ID ko. Ang tagal din kasi kumuha ng ibang IDs. Our appointment is in March 2018. my husband has his driver’s license and premium postal ID along with his old employment IDs kaya wala na siyang problema. For our daughter, we’ll just bring her old school ID, form 137 and birth certificate.

    Yung birth certificate ko has corrections. Inayos na namin sa local civil registrar in 2010 dahil sa misspelled name ko, last name ng father ko and other errors. Yung original copy submitted sa LCR tama eh. Yung pinasa sa NSO dati puro mali. Nilakad ng auntie ko in Rizal. I live in Cavite so isipin yung hassle if ako yung pupunta. I just gave my authorization letter and IDs sa school and company to show na yung spelling dun yung gamit ko my whole life. I have NSO copies of our birth certificates and LCR copy of our marriage contract. Same with you hindi ko din magets bakit need ng new (within the year) copy from PSA. Kawawa yung mga pinapabalik tapos galing pa sa malalayong lugar or pinanganak sa provinces.

        Sobrang strict nga nila kaya kawawa yung mga may errors sa names and places of birth kahit hindi nila fault.Sa case ng mom before ko pag check sa NSO, Fe yung nakalagay na first name niya. Yun daw ang niregister pero all her life, ang gamit niya Nilda. Inabot ng months bago naayos. Buti may relative kami who works in the municipal hall sa province namin na tumulong. Kaya I checked all our documents. We went to the LCR last year kasi napansin ko yung place of marriage namin sa birth certificate ng daughter namin is Manila City Hall instead of Manila City lang though dun naman located talaga yung LCR where the marriage was registered. Sabi ng LCR, no problem naman daw yun. Kahit hindi na palitan.

    Hi Mommy Levy,
    I had a passport appointment last Jan.06, pero nung chineck po nila place of birth ko sa PSA birth certificate, walang naka-inidicate kung saang city so, the officer told me to have a certified copy of filing ng supplemental report from the city hall to add the city in my birth certificate record. Itatanong ko lang po sana, kung yung copy lang ba ng supplemental report yung dadalhin ko kapag bumalik ako sa DFA or need ko hintayin na ma-update sa PSA yung pina-add na city sa birthplace ko?

We are waiting for the improved postal ID as the primary documents. Naka schedule na po kasi sa Jan 15. Just incase hindi pa po dumating ang postal ID, mapprocess pa din po kaya un application? Or pede kami humingi ng extension para makabalik ulit without making a new appointment? Wala na po kasi talaga makuha available slots mabilis po maubos.

    Written in DFA website:
    • Marriage Certificate of minor’s parents duly authenticated by PSA (for legitimate child)

    And in this requirement:
    • Personal appearance of either parent and valid passport of parents (if minor is a legitimate child)

    About the valid passport; does it mean both parents passport, what if the other parent is ofw? Or does the whole sentence mean personal appearance and valid passport of either of the parents?

        Hi Mommy Levy! May I know po gaano katagal pa sa PSA bago maupdate po yung Birth certificate na with supplemental report for Place of birth? Same problem din po sakin empty din. Meron na akong copy ng supplemental report from LCR ipapasa ko nalang sa PSA. Pero gaano po katagal bago maupdate ng PSA? Thank you po!

As for my case, yung TIN ID and POSTAL ID ko ang hindi nila tinanggap. I just got a question po, in case you would know, kasi the personnel advised me to go back to submit valid IDs and wrote a date above my original appointment date (Nov 3). She wrote po ng Dec 3. I was unable to catch what she said kung “on or before” or kahit after since Dec 3 would fall on a Sunday… Did you had a similar experience po nung pinabalik kayo to submit the “valid” requirements po? Thanks so much in advance. Will surely appreciate your help po!

    Hi Ms. Levy,

    Just want to ask what did you do next upon getting the supplemental report? Did you get another copy of PSA BC reflecting the missing information?

    I applied for a supplemental report just today since the clinic where I was born has no specific city in it. The officer in our city hall did not mention about its transmittal to NSO, but I paid 150 pesos. Close enough to 190 pesos you paid.

    Hope you can help me.

            Oh I see. Sorry to bother you Ms. Levy but I have one last question. Hope you can still accomodate. When you mentioned that you went to NSO QC office, is it at PSA-CVEA Building, PSA Compound, East Avenue, Quezon City, to be exact? I’m overwhelmed with many office locations published in google.

            Again, thank you for responding. Hoping to get a response too regarding my last question. 🙂
