Correcting your PSA (NSO) Birth Certificate from Abroad
After receiving questions from Filipinos abroad on NSO birth certificate errors, I realized that a special post was needed for their particular circumstances.
OFWs or Filipinos abroad usually need to correct their birth certificates for passport renewal or immigration issues.
The passport law is very strict. Your name on your passport must be exactly the same as that which is on your birth certificate. Your passport renewal requires it and your immigration status might also be in trouble, especially if you wish to migrate by yourself or on a fiancée visa.
What I am presenting in this post is the process for correcting your PSA (formerly NSO) birth certificate if:
- if you are a Filipino living abroad with your birth registered in the Philippines;
- if you are a Filipino living in the Philippines with your birth registered abroad;
- if you are a Filipino abroad with your birth registered abroad.
Since each case is different and there are countless possible errors, the research that I present here is from:
- Conversations with Local Civil Registrars, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Legal Services Division of the Civil Registrar General.
- Phone calls with consulates Hungary, Italy and California abroad
- Experience with the process locally
What I hope you take away from this post is an idea of what to expect and the challenges you may encounter so you are better prepared when you engage with your consulate or your local civil registrar the first time.

The information in this section is extremely important.
Please read this first as you’ll need this information to better understand how to correct your birth certificate:
- Different registrars and consulates may recommend different correction processes. This is why sometimes advice may be conflicting. Always counter check.
- Coordinating with the various government agencies on your own is really important. If your birth was reported in the Philippines but you are filing in a consulate, you really need to call the local civil registrar where your birth was reported so that their requirements – not just the consulate’s – are met.
- Try to see if you can pay for a private courier to send your documents from one country to another. The DFA recommends that the person involved sometimes be the one to transmit the petition from one government agency to another. Philippine consulates often wait for several petitions or requests to be pooled before sending them to Manila so there is quite a delay. I spoke to one embassy that sent the diplomatic pouch only every quarter.
- Collecting the documents may require you to be in Manila or may require authentication by the DFA.
- After your correction is approved, you will still have to bring it to the PSA so that your record can be annotated, which can also take some time.
- It will take months to years.
- There are 3 errors that are often encountered: Supplemental Report, Change of First Name and Correction of Clerical Error. Each have different requirements.
What are the Usual Errors and what is the Correction Process Like?
There are 3 errors:
- Supplemental Report is filed when there is blank or missing information
- Change of First Name is filed when your first name has an error and is applicable to your Birth Certificate only
- Correction of Clerical Error is filed when there is a typographical error
The local process for Philippine filing involves both the Local Civil Registrar and the PSA Main Office and requires anywhere from 5 visits (this is unusual) to 12 if the process is smooth. This increases if your petition is denied. This in-depth post will help you understand the local process and should be read first since the foreign process is based on it.
When there is a need to consult a Philippine consulate – for instance, when the birth was reported there or when the petition was filed there – the process is much longer as the consulate will now coordinate with Manila.
The process will also require you to submit proof of the correct information and you will need to gather several documents. The documents you’ll need to submit differ per process.
This may be a challenge if you are living abroad as some documents are only released in the Philippines. In addition, you may also need to have these documents authenticated by the DFA.
A Correction when a consulate is involved is:
- Longer as there is coordination between the consulate and Manila
- Difficult as the documents may only be retrieved from Manila and require authentication.
- Complex as you must coordinate throughout.
Can you file for NSO Birth Certificate Correction at the Philippine Consulate if you were born in the Philippines and it was reported there?
Yes, you can.
Riyadh, South Korea, and San Francisco mention it on their website as a service offered.
Additionally, the DFA in Manila confirmed that this was a consulate service when I called.
However, both the DFA and the local civil registrars recommend filing at the local Philippine civil registrar where the birth was reported instead of involving the consulate.
They suggest asking a family member or someone living near the local civil registrar to file the correction. This is a good idea since 5 (unusual) to 12 visits (or more!) will be needed. It is also much faster since the coordination is just between government agencies in the Philippines.
If you want to file a correction in your consulate and your birth was registered in the Philippines, take note of the below general process. This varies depending on the error, your consulate, and your local civil registrar.
What is the process for filing a Petition for Correction at the Consulate?
- Consulate receives your documents.
- Consulate forwards your petition to the DFA. Documents may be forwarded once a month to once a quarter.
- DFA forwards it to the PSA.
- PSA approves your correction which may involve coordination between the PSA Main and your local civil registrar coordinate.
- PSA forwards it to the DFA.
- DFA forwards it to the consulate.
This process is a general outline since I have heard different processes from different people.
The process for corrections is not standard, although there is a general process that everyone follows.
There is also some difficulty that you will encounter since input from the civil registrar of your birth was reported is important. There may need to be processing at the civil registrar of your birth as well as per PSA Main.
It is best to consult with your consulate and also with your local civil registrar before submitting any petition since civil registrars may not be automatically included. It may be that your petition will be sent back without any approval in such a case.
What are the documents needed when filing a Petition for Correction at the Consulate?
You will need to submit several documents:
- Your PSA (formerly NSO) birth certificate
- Your petition
- 2 public or private documents showing the correct entry, such as your baptismal certificate, your school records, your marriage certificate, your government-issued IDs, bank documents and land titles, etc. You might be asked for other documents. Just a note here – I’d present more than the required documents and prioritize documents from institutions. I’d also check to see what the PSA requirements are since they will approve your petition and it is ultimately them you’ll have to satisfy. This post explains the documentary requirements and process when no foreign element is involved and gives a good idea of what is needed.
- A Change of First Name requires the most documentary proof so you may need to prove you have no pending cases against you by requesting certification from your employer, the NBI and the PNP. You’ll also need to submit an Affidavit of Publication and a copy of the newspaper clipping.
Your Philippine documents likely need to be authenticated by the DFA before being used abroad.
Note also that you might have to pay a processing fee to the consulate abroad when they receive your petition. You will have to coordinate with the consulate involved and also ask how they accept payment.
What are my thoughts on filing at the consulate when your birth was reported in the Philippines?
I strongly advise that you file your petition for correction where your birth was reported.
Filing at the consulate is possible but it takes a long time and can be difficult to accomplish due to misunderstandings on requirements. Petitions can be sent back.
If your birth was reported in the Philippines, the process is much faster if you file it there. If not, your correction will be processed in the consulate and then again at the local civil registrar of your birth. This takes a lot of time.
I suggest you empower a representative with an SPA so that he can file for you in the Philippines.
I also suggest that you explain to him that the process will take considerable commitment – at least 5 (this is unusual) to 12 days of coordinating between all the government agencies involved. It can take much longer if your petition is denied.
Expect the process to still take several months even though it is filed in the Philippines.
Document gathering might also slow you down. There are some documents such as the PNP that are hard to get if you are currently living abroad. DFA authentication might also be required.
These often take special handling and can be confusing so call the Legal Department of the PSA if you have questions.
Can you file for NSO Birth Certificate Correction at your Local Civil Registrar if you were born in the abroad and it was reported there?
Yes, you can.
A Migrant Petition is a petition filed in different civil registrar from the civil registrar your birth was reported to.
So, for instance, you were born in Riyadh but now live in Pasig.
If you file a correction in Pasig, this is a Migrant Petition.
What is the process for a Migrant Petition?
The Migrant Petition is below:
- Your petition for correction will be filed at the Local Civil Registrar after assessment, filing your petition, and your payment.
- Your petition will be posted, published or complete other requirements needed.
- Your petition will be sent to the consulate where your birth was registered.
- Your petition will go through the same process it underwent in the Local Civil Registrar and then be approved.
- Your petition will be sent to the Philippine DFA office.
- Your petition will be sent to the PSA Main Office.
- Your petition will be approved.
- Your petition will be sent to the DFA.
- Your petition will be sent to the consulate.
What are the documents for a Migrant Petition?
In addition to knowing the process, you will need to prepare several documents.
The documents you prepare depend on the error that you want to correct.
Since a migrant petition’s documents follow the local civil registrar requirements, please see this post for the documents you will need. The documents differ depending on the error and cannot be summarized here.
An example of some of the documents accepted by the local civil registrar are:
- Philippine Statistics Authority Birth Certificate
- Baptismal Certificate
- School Record Form 137 / Diplomas and Transcripts
- Employment Record
- Medical Certificate
- Land Titles, Business Records.
- IDs such as your driver’s license, voters license, etc.
This is a partial list. The complete explanation of the errors and documents should be referred to for clarity.
If you are going to file a Migrant Petition, these tips should really help you:
- Please call your Local Civil Registrar in advance and have them assess your case to double check that you have the correct documents.
- Ask your local civil registrar if you can send it to the consulate yourself or pay for a private courier such as DHL.
- Call your consulate, the DFA and PSA Main when your document arrives and coordinate with them.
- There may also be payment at the consulate for processing when your petition arrives there.
What are my thoughts on a Migrant Petition?
I advise against filing a migrant petition.
In fact, when I spoke to the DFA, their first question was whether my client still knew someone who could file it at the consulate his birth was registered at. The local civil registrars suggested this as well.
The reason is that when you file a migrant petition, your request is processed at the local civil registrar and then processed again at the consulate.
This “double processing” is avoided when you file at the consulate itself. Filing at the consulate completely avoids the first step in the process mentioned above. It is much faster.
Also, the coordination between the local civil registrar and the consulate can take a long time.
If your birth was registered at the consulate, you’d be better off filing at the consulate or asking someone to file for you.
If you are going to ask someone to file at the consulate, you will need to do the following:
- Ask the consulate if it is possible to send it to the DFA on your own instead of waiting for them to send your petition on their schedule.
- Provide a Special Power of Attorney to the person who will file your petition.
- Ask your consulate if they require your documents to be authenticated by the DFA.
- Coordinate with the consulate, the DFA and PSA Main before and during the process.
Without a doubt, the process can take some time and will require patience and following up.
Can you file for Correction of your Birth Certificate if you are a Filipino currently living abroad and your birth was reported abroad?
Yes, you can.
If you live near the consulate where your birth was filed, you can file for correction there. Remember that they will still be coordinating with the PSA in the Philippines and so the process will take time.
What is the process for filing in the consulate your birth was registered at?
- Your petition will be processed by the consulate and will be posted, published or complete other requirements. Your petition will then be approved.
- Your petition will be sent to the Philippine DFA office.
- Your petition will be sent to the PSA Main Office.
- Your petition will be approved.
- Your petition will be sent to the DFA.
- Your petition will be sent to the consulate.
What are the documents you will need for filing in the consulate your birth was registered at?
According to the consulates, the documents needed are the following:
- Petition
- PSA (formerly NSO) Birth Certificate
- At least 2 public or private documents with the correct entry and any other requested documents. Just a note here. The information presented to you is the information officially stated by the consulates but I would present more documents than necessary because the PSA (formerly NSO) is the ultimate approver and it is their requirements that you should follow (I’ve written about the proof required for local Philippine processing here). In addition, your petition has a better chance of success with more documentary proof.
- A Change of First Name petition has the most documentary requirement. You will need to have more documents such as clearance that you have no cases against you from your employer, the NBI, the PNP, and you will also have to present an affidavit of publication and a copy of the newspaper clipping.
What are my thoughts on filing for correction abroad?
If your birth was registered at a Philippine consulate abroad, it is must better to file at the same Philippine consulate.
This is the preferred method of correction and is strongly recommended.
The DFA and the PSA are used to handling cases of correction where the petition and the birth were registered abroad. They are easily able to handle this even if it takes some time due to distance.
Filing where you birth was not registered is a sure cause of delay.
If you file in Manila, then there is a lot of coordination between Manila and the consulate and it will take longer. If you file at a Philippine consulate that was not where your birth was registered, it will take even longer.
In addition, filing where your birth was not registered is not unusual. In some instances, there may be requirements and documents that are required that are not immediately apparent. You petition can be sent back without being approved.
You should also check to make sure that the documentary requirements at the PSA approval stage is the same as that which is required at the embassy. I always prefer to include more proof than that which is strictly needed since it reduces risk that the petition is rejected.
Summary
Correcting your NSO Birth Certificate if you are a Filipino living abroad or if your birth was registered abroad is possible.
However, remember that:
- I strongly suggest that you file where your birth was reported. If you were born in Riyadh and your birth was reported there, file in Riyadh. Likewise, if you were born in Quezon City, file in Quezon City. Equip someone with a Special Power of Attorney to file it on your behalf if you cannot do it yourself.
- Document gathering can be tough if you are living abroad since some documents such as PNP clearance are only released in the Philippines.
- Documents need to be authenticated by the DFA if you are filing at a consulate.
- Assessments of what needs to be done can differ depending on which local registrar or consulate you ask. As I’ve found, you really need to call in advance.
- You really must coordinate with all the agencies involved. You need to call your consulate, your local civil registrar, the DFA and PSA Main if you want to ensure that your request is processed.
- If you file from a consulate but your birth was registered in the Philippines, you need to coordinate with your local civil registrar since they hold your record. Some of the requirements for approval can only be carried out by the local civil registrar prior to submission or will require them to process it also.
- It takes a lot of time.
Hopefully, you now have a better idea of the process and the documentary requirements you need to correct your birth certificate when a foreign element is involved.
saw the need for this because beyond a few consulate pages and new bytes saying that it could be done, there was barely any information discussing it in more detail.
I found many stories but there is variation and in all cases, you will really need to coordinate.
Hopefully, this helps you understand what path you want to take and what you need to do to get your PSA Birth Certificate corrected.
Always confuse whether NSO and PSA same. Finally read about this term details on http://www.psaonlineappointment.com and realize it. The lawyerphilippines is one of the best platform for legal consultation and solution.
Hello! We truly appreciate your kind words. It brings us joy to know that we were able to help you, even in this small way. Thank you!
Whenever I applied for PSA , I am confused about the difference between PSA and NSO. However it is same but it confuse me a lot. I want to know how to apply for NSO birth certificate.

Hello po!
I petitioned my mom, and she already was given an interview date. One of the requirements is for her to bringt a proof that we are related. They needed a PSA copy of the birth certificate of the petitioner. So, I ordered online, and my birth certificate was delivered to my mom’s house. When she opened the PSA copy to check, she noticed that my place of birth is in Batangas. But the NSO copy I have states that my place of birth is Manila (which is the correct one). This is what I have been using as my legal birth certificate.
What should we do now? There’s a time crunch since her interview will happen in less than 2 months.
Thank you in advance!

Hello atty,
If my problema po mismo sa live birth certificate, like actual birth date is not written instead maling birthday andun but it was filed one year after. Problema po ung dates nung mga attendants is one year before nung birth date n andun. It was filed at PSA kaya everytime n mag ask kami ng BC sa PSA eh un din binibigay. So how can we correct that birth month , day and year?
Clerical or typographical errors a usually be corrected through an administrative process under Republic Act 9048. But substantial errors require a petition filed in court. This is because changing the year of birth affects civil status and identity records, which cannot be altered administratively. To ascertain, it is wise to visit your local registry to assess this problem and ask for advice on what should be done.
Can I file for NSO Birth Certificate Correction Local Civil Registrar she was born in the philippine, but
she has already Filipino passport and is registered in
NSO /DFA. But her name it was my sister and her husband. after a year their own kids don’t want
to live anymore with my daughter. And They
want to change her name also in my name, I’m a biological mom.
You’re saying that you are the biological mother, but your daughter’s birth certificate indicated that your sister and her husband is their parent? If I understand this correctly, this cannot be done administratively with the Local Civil Registrar. You daughter’s situation requires substantial changes that must be file in court. Judicial petition for correction or cancellation on entry under Rule 108 will apply.
I am a Filipino and my husband is US citizen. My kids were born in Qatar. By mistake, I put my citizenship as US citizen their report of birth and got issued a Philippine passport. I want to correct my citizen on their birth certificate went over the court, gave all the proof that I am Filipino during their birth and our petition got denied.
We would need to know more about the court case and decision to say whether a further relief is possible.
Hi po pa help po panu mag change ng birth of year nasa abroad po ako please help asap po. Thanks
This requires a court case filed at the city or province where your birth certificate is registered. Please provide the specific information on our form at https://lawyerphilippines.org if you wish to discuss this in detail.
Why don’t I have a middle initial and my last name is wrong because my dad and mom are married
Sometimes the registrar mistakenly omits the middle name or miswrites the surname. You may seek assistance from the LCR and raise this concern.
Hi po atty.
Yung BC po ng son ko who is born in Oman and filed. now permanenfly we are living in the Philippines. The date of birth of hid father was entered wrong 11 March insread of 10 march. Do we need to correct it?
Yes, this only clerical error. You can make this change administratively with the Local Civil Registrar where the birth certificate was registered.
Hi po, I just wanted to ask what process would I need to correct the birthdate on my BC, on my records here it says 1958, but on the records on file in the Philippines, it’s 1957.
This only a clerical error, pwede kang pumusta sa Local Civil Registrar kung saan naka register ang iyong birth certificate. They will guide you the process and give you the necessary requirements.
Hi,
Ipapacorrect ko po sana ung middle initial ng mother ko sa birth certificate ko. It’s “A” but supposed to be dpat po letter “C”. I am here right now in Dubai, possible po ba ipaasikaso ko sa civil registrar sa brother ko in the Philippines?
Regards,
Elizabeth
since this is only clerical error, this can be done through administrative process with the Local Civil Registrar where your birth certificate was registered. If your brother is the one who will process, secure an Special Power of Attorney (SPA) authorizing him to do the action. However, you may execute them where you are currently situated which in Dubai. Have it apostilled their and delivered it in the Philippines.
Hi po. Misspelled po ang middle name ng parents ko sa birth certificate ko, makaka affect po ba ito pag kukuha po ako ng cenomar? Thanks po
The misspelled name of your parents will not indicate when you request a CENOMAR with the PSA.
Hi po Atty,
Yung DOB po sa BC is 22/09/2000 instead of 22Sept 2000 consider po ba na error and month of birth?possible po ba na ma correct from 09 to ‘september’word?or they’re the same?Hope to hear you u po.Tia
This is fine and does not require correction.
My birthdate is one daywrong on my birthday , can I change that? Please help
This may be considered as clerical error. You may seek changes with the Local Civil Registry where your birth certificate was registered and can be process administratively. The LCR will provide you the necessary requirements also.
hello, may possibility ba ma correct and birth certificate na wrong ang date of birth, name ,at ang name ng mother ay wrong also..need your advice please..thanks
Oo, puwede ma?correct ang birth certificate kahit mali ang date of birth, pangalan mo, at pangalan ng mother mo. Pero dahil maramihang substantial errors ito, hindi na puwede sa simpleng clerical correction kailanagan na ito ng judicial petition sa court.
My father’s middle name misspelled on my birth certificate. Is that gonna be a problem when I petition him to live in the US? If so, can my parents or sibling go to any PSA in the Philippines to have it corrected?
The proper venue is the Local Civil Registrar were your birth certificate was registered, not the Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA). The LCR will determine first if the error is substantial or clerical. If it is clerical, then it can be done administratively with them, if substantial error, then it will require judicial petition.
Good day! My baby was born in ksa, There is a misspelled first name ng baby ko btw late registered na sya b’coz my husband died same year that my baby was born kaya nadelay b’coz the rule here in saudi only male or father shall accomplish the birth certificate of baby. Is it possible na pwede naman mabago ang spelling ng name sa phil embassy before mag proceed sa psa ang birth cert. thanks in advance- michelle, abqaiq ksa
You may directly request a correction of entry at the embassy. They will require the original foreign birth certificate.
Good day po.
Thank you so much for the information above as it gives hope to people like us who are struggling to correct their birth certificate.
I was born in Libya and now permanently residing in the Philippines and is needing to correct my late mother’s maiden last name (for my middle initial/name) so I can renew my passport. I’ve sent an email to the Philippine Embassy in Libya and they pointed me to DFA for a smoother process. I went to DFA and they told me they don’t do such process (helping correct Birth Certificates of people born abroad) so they told me to go to PSA office. I went to PSA and they gave me a brochure on Republic Act No. 10172 (or was it 9048?) where the City Hall (City Registrar) can make the petition for me so I went to the City Hall and they asked me for someone to process it in Libya, like a family member which I don’t have. So the City Registrar told me to go to the DFA which I had the same answer from them.
After the long walks and disappointing talks I decided to give up.
As an adult, with enough records of my correct name such as old passports, college diploma, government I.D.s etc. Is there any way I can correct this? If I decide to fix it through a judicial court order will it be too expensive?
Thank you and more power to you.
Court process under these circumstances is only for substantial error which you can avail instead of administrative process with the Local Civil Registrar. Since your mother’s maiden name is wrong, this falls under Rule 108 judicial petition.
IN BIRTHCERT IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE MIDDLE NAME “CRUZ”, BUT INSTEAD ONLY MIDDLE INITIAL WAS WRITTEN “C”…ALL HER DOCUMENTS AND ID “CRUZ” NMAN AND NAKALAGAY PATI SA PASSPORT.
KAILANGAN NMIN MAGPA REDRIBBON S DFA, MAGKAKAPROBLEMA PO KAYA? ANUNG DAPAT NMIN GAWIN?
If you are worried that the middle initial only indicates in the birth certificate instead of the full complete middle name, this can be done with the Local Civil Registrar, the only a clerical error. As for the red ribbon, it is no longer available, it is now called Apostille. The DFA apostille will only verify the signatory of the document, not the content of the document.
For apparent clerical error po, kulang lang ng dash (-) ang surname. I was born in the Middle East, my BC was also recorded there. I am now permanently living in the Philippines. Since involving a consulate appears to be too tedious, would you recommend judicial correction na lang po?
Dear Anna:
File it in the Middle East.
This is the best way to correct the error.
Thank you so much po Atty..
Pano po ang dapat gawin, tama yung name ko pero yung pangalan ng mother ko sa BC is pangalan niya nung kinasal siya sa unang asawa niya, pangalawang family niya kami ni father ko. Sa saudi po ako pinanganak, dito na kami sa Philippines for good. Sa passport ko po tuloy ang nalagay na middle name ko eh yung apelyido ng mother ko sa unang asawa niya
Your situation cannot be change administratively. This is a substantial error that requires proper judicial petition of Correction of entry under Rule 108. It is wise to seek a lawyer to help navigate the legal process.
Hi mag pa correct po ako ng birth year ko naka apostille na po ang BC ko Anu pa po ang kailangan ko please reply thanks urgent
Sent an email.
Yung naisubmit po namin na birth certificate dito sa japan is iba po yung year of birth sa nakarecord na birth certificate sa Pinas. Hindi po ako makapag renew ng passport kasi po iba yung information na nasa passport ko at sa birthcert. sa pinas.
Nilakad po ng lawyer sa Pinas yung totoong birthcertificate and naayos naman kaso po totally different sa year of birth at nawala po yung middle name..my mom said dalhin ko sa japanese embassy yung mga documents from lawyer upon renewing my passport.
Natatakot po ako baka maapektuhan ang status ko dito sa Japan. Please advice po.salamat.
We cannot speak for foreign requirements and status in other countries. You may be better assisted in this by the Philippine embassy there.
For BC correction po.pinalakad ko po dito sa Pinas yung BC para maregister sa PSA ng anak ko pinanaganak ko ito sa abroad pero yung taong nag ayus iba nailagay na Birthplace .paano ko ba ito maisaayus .
Kung mali ang birthplace na nailagay sa birth certificate ng anak mo (dahil ipinanganak siya abroad pero ibang lugar ang na?encode sa PSA record), puwede itong ayusin, pero depende kung clerical error lang o substantial correction. Kung mali and birthplace na nailagay, this requires filing a Judicial petition for Correction of Entry sa RTC unde rRule 108.
What if My parent’s middle names interchanged?
Is there a possibility that can affect my appointment in Getting a passport?
I cannot answer for the DFA.
The DFA will inform you as to what is needed but birth certificate issues do frequently mean that a passport is not given.
I have a psa birth cert na kulang ng last name but we already did the correction years ago so meron na po supplemental sa baba. Ang problema ko ngayon is yung birth cert sa LCR na di pa rn nag appear ang last name ko. Since need ko ipa authenticate ang psa birth ko, ok lng po ba kahit di sila match? Thanks po
Hi:
Try going to the LCR for their opinion, with all your documents. Explain the situation and see what they can suggest. Since their copy has the error, they may be able to suggest a path to take.
Hi please I would to ask about my birth certificate my mom name is wrong please how to make correction
If your mother’s name is wrong on your birth certificate, you can have it corrected — but the process depends on whether the error is clerical or substantial. IF the error is only wrong selling, this can be done administratively with the Local Civil Registry where your birth was registered.
