Saan po ba pwedeng kumuha ng PSA Birth certificate? Meron po kasi ako na NSO lang, thankyou po sa sasagot. Need ko po sa 21 appointment ko.

Hi Gilbert, PSA is the new name for NSO – they just renamed the agency. If you got your Birth Certificate from NSO Online (now PSAHelpline.ph), then this is the PSA Birth Certificate on security paper (SECPA) that’s required and accepted for passport applications.

Ask ko lang po makakakuha po kaya ako ng passport kung ang NSO ko mali ang gender.
kinfo says
We recommend na asikasuhin niyo po muna ang Gender Correction sa Birth Certificate nyo dahil wrong gender din po ang mailalagay sa Passport at mas magkakaproblema pa kayo if may misentry sa NSO/PSA Birt Certificate na ibibigay niyo sa DFA.

Flor says
Hello po! pwede po ba ako na lang na nanay ang kumuha ng release na passport ng anak ko na 9yrs. old pa lang po ang may ari ng passport, para di na po sya umabsent sa school?Ano pong need ko po dalhin?
kinfo says
Can somebody else claim the passport on someone’s behalf?
Only immediate family members are allowed to get the passport on behalf of the applicant as long as they have the proper authorization letter.
For minors, only the parents may claim the passport or a guardian with a Special Power of Attorney. You may want to bring the child’s birth certificate po if kayo po ang parent as well as your own Passport and Valid ID.
