How to expedite NSO certification of birth certificate

[Juan Martinez]

question lang: meron kasi akong ipapayos sa PSA (or more commonly known as NSO) regarding sa birth certificate ko. may missing detail siya na kailangan ko ipaayos (or authenticate; kindly correct me na lang) eh kailangang-kailangan ko itong maayos bago ako pumunta sa DFA passport appointment ko (noong first time ako nag-apply sa DFA with my birth certificate, may nakita ang DFA na may missing details, so they prompted me na ipa-Notaryo sa Abugado.)

do I need to go to PSA's (or NSO's) main office to fix my birth certificate?

before i answer your question, may i know what are these "missing details" in your BC?

[Juan Martinez]

meaning, kung pinanganak ako sa Province A, doon ako pupunta sa Province na yun kung saan may NSO (or PSA)?

generally, walang PSA or NSA sa probinsya.

if yung problema mo ay harmless or innocuous errors lang dun sa BC mo and right now you're not living or residing at the municipality or city where you were born, puede pumunta ka dyan sa LCR kung saan ka nakatira para dun ka mag file ng petisyon. don't worry about this petition kasi may porma na ang LCR sa ganyan. all you need to do is to fill in the blanks. yung LCR kung saan ka nakatira, sila yung mag transact sa LCR of the place where you were born.

pero kung hindi yan harmless errors (like: ***, age, nationality, and status of a person), you need to file a petition for correction of entry in the regional trial court that has jurisdiction over the place where you are residing.

please take note na yung order ng korte taking cognizance over your case must be published in a newspaper once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. medyo mahabahabang proseso ito kasi mag appear pa yung SOLGEN dyan.

the rule here is that, no entry in the local civil registry must be changed or corrected without court order.
