After some initial research on the internet, I found that errors in NSO birth certificates affect so many people, from immediate family members, friends, to friends of friends. I noticed that there is not very much help available out there. So it inspired me to write this post, to provide more information. Please note that most of these information is already available in the NSO website, http://www.psa.gov.ph. But then again, it doesn’t hurt to repeat them.
Generally, correction of clerical errors in NSO birth certificates and other relevant records can be done only by filing a petition in court. The NSO gives us guidelines on how to go about it. You can read through these steps:
TEN steps to be undertaken in the correction of an entry in a civil registry document
- Contact a lawyer who will prepare the Petition for Correction of Entry.
- Lawyers shall file the Petition in the Regional Trial Court. The fee for filing the Petition in the Regional Trial Court is Php 160.00.
- The Petition will be raffled and assigned to a branch of the Regional Trial Court.
- The assigned Regional Trial Court shall issue an Order for the publication of its Order in a newspaper of general cirsulation for three consecutive weeks. Fee for publication varies.
- The Order contains the date of the first hearing.
- During the first hearing, the lawyer will present compliance of the jurisdictional requirements like publication of the Order in a newspaper of general circulation.
- After establishing compliance with jurisdictional requirements, the petitioner will be presented in Court to testify. The Court may assign the Clerk of Court to receive evidence.
- During the hearing, i is possible that an oppositor may appear contesting the Petition. If o oppositor appears, the Clerk of Court will receive the petitioner’s evidence.
- After presentation of evidence, the Court will rule on the Petition.
- If the decision is favorable, the Court will order the Office of Civil Registrar to correct the entry in the civil registry document (birth/marriage/death certificate of the petitioner).

Republic Act No. 9048 gave us a shorter, faster and somewhat more economical way to correct these errors. However it has a limited application. It only applies to clerical errors and changes in first name. In RA 9048, you can file the verified petition in the local civil registrar’s office where your birth or other NSO record is kept. You can read the steps here:

Republic Act 9048
An Act Authorizing C/MCR or Consul General to Correct a Clerical or Typographical Error in an Entry and/or Change of First Name or Nickname in the Civil Register Without Need of a Judicial Order.
What is Republic Act 9048?
Republic Act (RA) 9048 authorizes the city or municipal civil registrar or the consul general to correct a clerical or typographical error in an entry and/or change the first name or nickname in the civil register withour the need of a judicial order.
Ra 9048 amends Articles 376 and 412 of the Civil Code of the Philippines, which prohibit the change of name or surname of a erson, or any correction or change of entry in a civil register without judicial order.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo approved the act on the 22nd of March 2001. With the law taking effect on the 22nd of April 2001, the Civil Registrar-General promulgated Administrative Order No. 1 Series of 2001, which was published in the newspapers in August that year.
What corrections can be made by RA 9048?
RA 9048 allows these corrections:
- Correction of clerical or typographical errors in an entry in civil registry documents, except corrections invoving the change in sex, age, nationality and status of a person
(A clerical or typographical error refers to an obvious mistake commited in clerical work, either in writing, copying, trancribing, or typing an entry in the civil register that is harmless and innocuous, such as a misspelled name or misspelled place of birth and the like, and can be corrected or changed only by reference to other existing record or records.)
- Change of a person’s first name in his/her civil registry document under certain grounds specified under the law through administrative process.
What are the conditions under RA 9048 that the petitioner needs to comply with?
- The petitioner finds the first name or nickname to be ridiculous, tainted with dishonor or extremely difficult to write or pronounce;
- The new first name or nickname has been habitually and continuously used by the petitioner and he has been publicly known by that first name or nickname in the community; or,
- The change will avoid confusion.
Who may file the petition?
Whether it is for correction of clerical or typographical error, or for change of first name, the petition may be filed by a person of legal age who must have a direct and personal interest in the correction of the error or in the change of first name in the civil register.
A person is considered of legal age when he is eighteen years old and above. Thus, a minor (less than eighteen years old) cannot by himself file a petition, neither for correction of clerical or typographical error nor for change of his first name.
Only the following persons are considered to have a direct and personal interest in the correction of clerical error or change of fist name:
- Owner of the record that contains the error to be corrected or first name to be changed.
- Owner’s spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, guardian, or any other person duly authorized by law or by the owner of the document sought to be corrected.
What should be the form and content of the petition?
The petition, whether it is for correction of clerical error or for change of first name, should be accomplished properly and in the prescribed form. Section 5 of RA 9048 and Rule 8 of Administrative Order No. 1, S. 2001 require that the petition should be in the form of an affidavit, hence, it should be subscribed and sworn to before a person authorized to administer oath.
Basically, the petition must contain the following facts or information:
- Merits of the petition
- Competency of the petitioner
- Erroneous entry to be corrected and proposed correction; forst name to be changed and the proposed new first name
What supporting documents are required for correcting a clerical or typographical error in a civil registry document?
The petition shall not be processed unless the petitioner supports it with the required dcuments. The supporting documents should be authentic and genuine, otherwise, the petition shall be denied or disapproved pursuant to Rule 5.8 of Administrative Order No. 1, S. 2001. The following supporting documents are admissible as basic requirements:
- Certified machine copy of the certificate containing the alleged erroneous entry or entries
- Not less than two (2) public or private documents upon which the correction shall be based. Examples of these documents are the following: baptismal certificate, voter’s affidavit, employment record, GSIS/SSS record, medical record, school record, business record, driver’s license, insurance, land titles, certificate of land transfer, bank passbook, NBI/police clearance, civil registry records of ascendants, and others.
- Notice and Certificate of Posting
- Certified machine copy of the Official Receipt of the filing fee
- Other documents as may be required by the City/Municipal Civil Registrar (C/MCR)
What are the supporting papers for change of first name?
As is the case of correction of clerical error, no petition for change of first name shall be accepted unless the petitioner submits the required supporting papers, as follows:
- All the documents required of the petitioner for the correction of clerical error shall also be required of the petitioner for change of first name.
- Clearance from authorities such as clearance from employer, if employed; the National Bureau of Investigation; the Philippine National Police; and other clearances as may be required by the concerned C/MCR.
- Proof of Publication. An affidavit of publication from the publisher and copy of the newspaper clippings should be attached.
How much is the fee in filing a petition?
The C/MCR and the District/Circuit Registrar (D/CR) are authorized to collect from every petitioner the following rates of filing fees:
- One thousand pesos (Php 1,000.00) for the correction of clerical error
- Three thousand pesos (Php 3,000.00) for the change of first name
In case of a petition filed with the Consul General (CG), the fees are the same for all Philippine Consulates. The fees are the following:
- Fifty U. S. dollars ($ 50.00) for the correction of clerical or typographical error
- One hundred fifty U. S. dollars ($ 150.00) for the change of first name
A migrant petitioner shall pay an additional service fee to the Petition Receiving Civil Registrar (PRCR). This service fee shall accrue to the local treasury of the PRCR.
- Five hundred pesos (Php 500.00) for correction of clerical or typographical error
- One thousand pesos (Php 1,000.00) for change of first name
Where should the petition be filed?
The general rule is that petition be filed with the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO) where the record containing the clerical error to be corrected or first name to be changed is kept. Included in this general rule is the case of the Office of the Clerk of Shari’a Court where records of divorces, revocations of divorces, conversions to Islam are kept and where some Muslim marriages are registered.
However, in case the petitioner is a migrant within or outside the Philippines, meaning his present residence or domicile is different from where his civil registry record or records are registered, he may file the petition in the nearest LCRO in his area. His petition will be treated as a migrant petition.

Your case will be for change of name. I would think your local civil registrar will not consider it a mere clerical error.

My NSO birth certificate was written in a very stylish cursive ( I was born in 1976).My real name is Lormina but in my NSO bith cert., it’s Lormie. I went to our local civil registry and they said it was a clerical error. Any comments regarding this problem..
HI Lormina,
Thanks for visiting our site.
You could do two things:
1. Retain the name that is now reflected on your NSO birth certificate “Lormie” and change your existing school, employment, social security records accordingly by showing your NSO birth certificate.
2. File a petition for correction of clerical error at your Local Civil Registrar’s Office. You can read the procedure here.

My name is FELMALIE ANDAY, BUT IN MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE IT IS WRITTEN AS FELMANE ANDAY. IT IS SO CLEAR THAT MY NAME IN MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE WAS MISSPELLED AND THE CIVIL REGISTRY OF MANILA CONSIDERED IT AS CHANGE OF NAME. MAY I KNOW YOUR CLASSIFICATION FOR CLERICAL ERROR AND THAT OF CHANGE OF NAME ? SO I KNOW WHAT PETITION I SHOULD FILE IN MANILA CIVIL REGISTRY OFFICE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH .
Hi Felmalie,
It is upon the LCRO-Manila to decide whether it is a change of name or correction of clerical error. They have been consistent to rule on cases like yours as a petition for change of name.
Thanks for visiting our blog.
Best Regards,
The VERifier
Your NSO Birth Certificate Guidance Counselor
hi felmalie my wife went to manila civil registry right now at manila city
hall, only monday to thursday only their office hour, and according to them nagpapahinga raw yung mga interviewer every friday. I just want to inform you to avoid future problem.
THank you for this information.
in my honest opinion, the fees are utterly insane. it is already a burden to get the petition processed (you know how government offices work) and now they have to pay that much to have the errors corrected??? that is clearly highway robbery. if anything, it is the clerk who made the mistake/typo error who should be asked to pay for the damages. this is just wrong in so many different ways.
Hi Ria,
Thanks for visiting my site.
You are right. It is such an inconvenience, to say the least, to go through all these cumbersome processes just to correct a tiny error. It is a mistake of human effort, I agree again. But this error, while tiny, have much larger effects in an individual’s personal status. These records are controlling to prove the details surrounding his or her birth, marriage, death, etc. This is the reason why these errors should not be taken lightly.
The law is harsh, but it is the law, as what lawyers usually say.
There are efforts now in Congress to include these clerical errors as those which can be corrected administratively. I hate to say it, but till that law passes, those who need their genuine NSO records urgently will have to go through this so-called “highway robbery”.
My two cents worth.
The fees to file a petition would be php.160.00/one hundred sixty pesos? is this correct? some people i have ask about this they said it’s going to be between 100thousand pesos to 200thousand pesos…i am so confused and i keep getting of wrong information.
Any idea of how much would be the cost to hire a lawyer for this?
I am filing a petition for correction of entry for my daughter’s birth certificate. so i need more secure information of how much really is the cost of everything including the fees for the lawyer.
Hi Mary Anne,
Thank you for your comment.
The P160 is the legal fee that you will pay when you file the petition in court. But this is outside the charges of the lawyer you will hire. The charge of lawyers highly varies, depending on the complexity of the case. It will also depend on the errors that need to be corrected. Off the bat, I believe that 100K-200K is excessive.
Tama, bakit po ganon? Ang mahal ng presyo ng abogado!. Pano po ba namin maayos ang ganitong problema ng di ganyan kalaki dapat gastosin.
The lawyer may be able to explain why the fees are like that. Please raise these concerns to your lawyer. Thank you.
hi,
i have a problem regarding the birth certificate of my husband. When we got the authenticated copy of his birth certificate from NSO, the year of birth is wrong. On NSO record, it is 1963, but the real year of his birth is 1963. how can we correct this? Some of my friends told me that it takes long time and we have to spend more money for the correction. they say 30,000 – 40,000php is to needed to make the correction?
I hope that you can give for some advice for this problem. thank you very much.
aina
Hi Aina,
Thank you for your comment.
Your friends are correct. Errors concerning your date of birth require correction through court proceedings.
30k-40k is a reasonable amount to make the correction.
gud pm. ano po ung procedure ng pag palit ng year of birth?
Court case po ito, at kailangan nyo po ng abogado.
For more details, please contact our office at 7051265/7051277 for an appointment with a specialist. Bring your documents so we can advise you accordingly.
Thank you.
you must be very rich people to make a comment of you can achieve this 30k to 40k pesos for the poor of the third world country.
Hi Tanya, I understand your concerns. It is really a hefty amount to spend for a tiny correction. But this is the reality of charges for a court case.
i’ve learned to believed the lawyers here in the philippines are more expencive than there in europe because of the gravy trail that is infurced of the poor people in the philippines thats why 70%of the population of the philippines are below third world standards.
Hi my name is Mary Jean, however the name that was printed on my birth certificate was a hand written. It was MaryJean withouh space. How can i change and update it.

Hi,
If the gender in my father’s NSO is incorrect, where would this fall? Are we going to undergo court hearing for this?
Thanks
Sheff
Yes you will need to file a case in court in order to correct that.
Thanks Mischesa for the prompt response. Do you know how much would it cost and how long would it takes? Estimation will do.
And I have another concern, my mother’s name is Maria Lourdes, but on her NSO she is registered as Roselyn. She have her petition to US and they made it as Roselyn on her petition papers. You know what attack should we do on this? Are we going to retain her as Roselyn? Would that affect all her son’s NSO since all of those entry is Maria Lourdes? Of course, all her IDs(SSS, pag-ibig etc) will be change to Roselyn, would that be much simple rather than changing the petition paper and NSO to the name she is using?
Thank you very much
Regards,
Sheff
It may take several months, from as fast as 6months, to at least a year, or beyond that. We cannot ascertain for sure, since the duration is dependent on several factors. As to cost, while the filing fee for the case is constant, lawyers’ fees vary greatly. You might need to approach a particular lawyer and ask how much he or she charges.
I just get the copy of the BC of my daughter. Our sick old clerk in the Jose B. Lingad General Hospital in San Fernando, Pampanga obviously made a mistake for my daughter’s firstname. He/She stupidly put our surname along with the first name. The BC has this entry is YUANNE YADAO ANDRES RIVERA (prior me acknowledging the child). I applied for RA 9255 at the CCRO at San Fernando to change it my surname. Now my daughter is known as YUANNE YADAO RIVERA YADAO. I guess I can bear the filing fee, but RA 9048 requires supplemental document like affidavit of publication. How much is the cost for the publication for this document? This is really an insane mistake that we didnt commit but by the others that dont even care and of course paid by our taxes.
If it is a misplacement of the surname, this can be considered a clerical error. If it is accepted as a clerical error, you wont need publication.
Thanks Michecesa. We will go the hard way the.
its only a rich can achieve this.,two tears society this is the way the philippines is.
Hi in my case po, Ginalyn and my birthday is march 10, 1984 po ginagamit ko name since magkaisip ako.but when i get NSO birth cert nkaindicate Genalyn then my birth date is March 11,1984, clearly clerical error since sa bahay lang ako sa province ng mother ako pinanganak, so does this mean no need for publication too? Am i right? So all i need to do is fill for petition then babayaran ko nalang is 160 then 1000 for correction? Really need the advice badly kasi mgaaply ako for passport. Thanks
Kailangan pa rin po ng publication. Requirement po yun basta date of birth ang correction
Hi,
In my case of manila city hall requiring me to change of first name from ‘ernnio’ to ‘ernnie’ and not just a clerical issue. How much does the publication to newspaper cost? any range?
Thanks,
–Ernnie
Hi Ernnie,
You will have to ask the local civil registrar about cost of publication. They will give you your options.

HI fyre,
Thanks for visiting my site.
By your narration, it seems that it is a mere oversight on your mom’s part. But to correct this, you will have to file a case in court. Since the mistake on legitimacy affects your civil status, there is no easier way to go about it.

Hello! Your site is really a big help. My case is…I’m using the name Susie Ballaran Esmenda before I get married, this is the name that appears also on my marriage certificate. Prior to this, I already knew that there were errors in my birth certificate way back then because in 1995 I was supposed to secure a passport but lo and behold when I got my NSO record it stated that my name is Susie Valleran Esmenda

I applied for a passport but got rejected due to the “Place of Birth” in my BC was incomplete; it did not have the City/Municipalty entry. But, in a separate field City/Municipalty located at the top of the document, “Manila” is there. Can I contest this as the place of birth, or does it have to be more specific (e.g Sta. Ana, Manila) or the in the correct field? I also have a supporting document from the hospital itself that I was born there, detailing the exact address of the hospital.
To fill up the entry, a supplemental report must be filed in the Local Civil Registrar of your place of birth.

I used September 5, 1964 since birth, when i get married i cant get my BC because according to our local civil registry, they were destroyed coz of fire, they did even gave me the copy of list of destroyed, so that i can apply late registration, together w/ my baptismal cert dated September 30, 1964, i can able to do my late registrations, and managed to get the copy from NSO for various copies of my BC for few years. (no problem)
Until after 3years when i need a copy of my BC again, i was surprise to find out that my BC showed i was born on the 5th of October 1964 and according to the NSO, that was my original Birth certificate (10/9/64).
I hate to think that i was baptise before i was born???
i tried to sorted out, but i’m not surprised that they cant do anything to helped me, and they told me i need atleast 40thousand out of my pocket to correct the errors? because i had a multiple BC? Isn’t that ridiculous?
all my documents using my birthdate as September 5, my marriage certificate, the childrens BC and everything…Now can you be so kind to tell me how am i to solve this problem w/o costing me much? i’m sick and tired &
I’m already suffering stress for this matter. Hope you can tell me what to do.
Mabuhay kayo!!
Thank you so much.
Unfortunately, the NSO or your local civil registrar cannot do much to correct this situation. You will need to file a case in court to correct the date of birth entry in your birth certificate. It is considered by law as a substantial error, that is why a court case is needed.
It will take considerable time, money and effort to correct. But you will need your birth certificate to be correct in all these essential details. Since this document will be required from you in all your dealings.

i’m a siglemum before i got married to my (now) husband. we’ve been married and living together with my son for 12 years , my son is now 15 years old and he is using my family maiden name. My husband wants my son to have his his hamily name,.. but because he is not a biological father of my son…i understand that he need to adopt my son before we can legalize everything, i just wonder if you can give me some idea how to make this matter? how long the processing and how much it cost?
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Tank you…
Truly yours,
You are right, adoption is the only way for your son to carry your husband’s surname.
Adoption is a long and tedious process. It can easily take a couple of years or more, depending if it will be contentious or not (if the biological father will give his consent)
Lawyers’ fees highly vary too, charging is a case-to-case basis.
Thanks.
My friend had a child before which was adopted when he was still a baby by a kin of the same middle and last name. The problem is, the child was already registered but was registered again using the same name but with a different parent. Now, the boy is almost 20yrs old and she doesn’t want to bother him anymore since he doesn’t know anything. But, upon trying to secure a birth certificate, the first registration is always being considered. What would be the best and most discrete way to handle this? We’re suggesting a change of name in the first certificate so the second one will be the only one. Any thoughts?
My brother had a problem on his date of birth, eversince he was using April 10,1982 as his birthdate, but when he got his NSO birth certificate it was listed their that his birthdate is April 30,1982,there is a difference on the day he was born.while in all his other government ID’s and school records he was using april 10 as his birthdate. we would like to know what is the process to correct this errors like the day of his birth? any idea how much it would cost us to send a petition to correct the errors?
Thank you for your help!
Please refer to my reply to DJ Joey.
Please contact VERified at info@verifiedph.com. They can refer you to a lawyer who can represent your brother in court.
Thanks

A change in the date of birth will require the filing of a court petition. You will need a lawyer to file this in the court of your place of birth, and appear on your behalf.
Hi michesa,
I have a problem regarding my birth certificate… it so happen that I’ve been doubly register with two different names, and the one that I’m using ever since was the second registered name.
I know that the process of canceling the first registered name would be very tedious and expensive, that’s why I’m thinking of retaining my first registered name instead. However, how can I change my school records and other ID’s??? Do I have to go to a lawyer too or appeal it to court? Or what? Please help, thanks!
You dont need the services of a lawyer if you want to retain your first registered name.
You just need to present your birth certificate to your school and other government offices. Their requirements may vary, and may charge a minimal fee. But this is the more economical option.
Hi. I would like to inquire about my case. All my records makes use of my name as James Sepulchre but when I checked my NSO birth certificate, it states that I was registered as James Labsan. Labsan is my mother’s first husband’s last name. My mother met my biological father, years after her first husband died. When I was born, the family doctor mistakenly placed my mother’s first husband’s name as my father, instead of my biological father, which is obviously erroneous because Mr. Labsan died in 1977 and I was born in 1982. My mother, too exhausted from giving birth, was unable to correct the entry. I would like to know how I can go about in correcting this to be able to get married and file for a passport? I was told I have to file a case in court, I would also want some information on how long this would take and how much would I have to spend to correct the entry?
That is correct, you will need to file a case in court to rectify this error.
hello..what will be the steps in correcting the spelling of my father’s name on my Birth certificate? Instead of Nomelito, Normelito was written on it..
You need to file a petition for correction for clerical error at the local civil registrar (LCR) where you were born. You can inquire at the city hall for the steps, as these vary from place to place.
My grandmother filed my BC in LCR.,, but the name of my father is dennis not jerome and also the civil status of my parents is married but they are not married.. I want to change it correct and how much is the estimated cost. Thank you..
My friend used priscilla in all documents…. when i got her nso it was precila….is it change of first name to be filled.thanks
Hi Virginia,
In this type of cases, the decision depends on the Local Civil Registrar (LCR). It will be best for your friend to ask the LCR where her birth is registered. Thanks
hi..im sonny cadorna but in my ,birth certificate is sanny adorna what petition i need to file…thanks.
You need to file a petition for correction of clerical error at the local civil registrar where you were born
i dont who is to consult about this issue. my half sister who has been carrying the maiden name of my mother and the last name of his father is has sent an invitation to visit dubai. apparently i was asked by my sister for just incase it would be necessary to bring her NSO and mine. what i just found out there was our mother’s first name is different her’s is having the real name “florentine” mine is having the nick name “flor” i am just afraid that it could lead to a possible offloading since theres a discrepancy with our document, i really need an advise about this> IF THERES ANYTHING THAT I COULD DO JUST LET ME KNOW> I WAS PLANNING OF FOLLOWING THE ublic Act 9048 BUT I THINK THIS IS REALLY A BLOODY PROCESS. AND IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME. I REALLY NEED A HAND ON THIS. THANKS!
To make sure you will not have any trouble getting the necessary travel documents, you will need to file a RA9048 petition for correction of clerical error at the civil registrar where you were born. This is the best way to correct it.
Hello! how much po kung gender error ang nagkamali.. naging male kasi ang nakalagay sa birth certificate ko, at female naman ako.. pagkapanganak kasi sa akin ng mama ko inierase lang nila ng wipe our yung m. nilagyan nila ng F.. so ng paggraduate ko ng college at pinakuha na ako ng NSo birth certificate, ayon , nadiskubre ko na M pala nakalagay.. magkano kaya pa correct ng error ng gender
My friend had the same scenario. I think she spent more than 30k. Why? You have to get a Lawyer file for a hearing,there are 3 hearings as she mentioned it. Then publish to the public (newspaper) that you are a female. This is a proof or basis you’ll also bring to the court.
That is how she did it. Before anything else, get a Lawyer. They will explain it.
Hope I helped.
Thank you so much for the information I’ve read.God bless.
hello! I filed for the correction of the name of my father on my birth certificate on the city civil registry here in Lipa City, Batangas and they asked me to send the petition to the main office of NSO in Manila last Nov. 17, already a month now and I haven’t receive a news about it, it is the only document we are waiting to file for our fiance visa at the Belgian Embassy. Can you give me a clearer view how long I should wait more to get it corrected? Thank you very much
The normal course of this procedure takes about 2-3 months. From the time it is decided by the local civil registrar, approved by NSO Main and the corrected birth certificate is issued. It is best to follow up with the Lipa CCR.
Hello!
Good Day!
I am wondering where to pass my documents since there was changes made. One letter was blurry and it was processed last March 2011, the blurry letter is now okay. When I went to NSO still the same blurry letter, the guy told me if the document was sent nationally (I don’t think my relatives did). I have the documents with me, new birth certificate and from the civil registry telling it was changed. Now where will I send it so my NSO will be the not blurry letter?
Thanks in advance.
You may go to the National Statistics Office Vibal Branch and submit these documents. Request them to enter these into their database, so an NSO copy of the corrected certificate will be issued.
Just wanna ask, if we can amend our parents’ marriage contract? The name of my father was spelled wrongly. The letter “i” should be “e” just like his birth certificate. What are we gonna do?
Thank you.
Yes you may have it corrected. File a petition for correction of clerical error at the local civil registrar in the place where your parents got married.
hi. my maiden name is AÑOVER but it was registered in my birth cert. as ENOBER…where does my case fall? clerical error or correction of entry? thanks.
If you are able to establish through other documents, like your father’s birth certificate, parents’ marriage contract and siblings’ birth certificates that your surname is Anover, the LCR may allow a correction of clerical error. Otherwise, it needs to be filed in court.
hi, ur site is really helpful..
i have a problem with my middle name, it got misspelled by a single letter
..instead of Jimenez i was registered as Jemenez..How will i correct it and how much will it cost me? another thing is what are the documents that i need to present to help my case and what are the procedures that i need to follow…thank you in advance… i really need some information abou this. thank you so much
You may file a petition for correction of clerical error in the LCR of the place where you were born. You need to present your mother’s birth certificate, and that of your siblings too. Also you will need to produce other identification papers that reflect the correct spelling of your middle name. You may ask the LCR of your place of birth directly for their procedure and requirements. Filing fee is P1000.
Same situation. But when we tried to get my mom’s record we found out that she’s not registered. Is mother’s birth cert for this case necessary? Or is my siblings birth cert enough? Thanks
Yes it is required. You may call 7051265/7051277, Mon-Fri, from 10 am to 5pm for more details.

Hello,
I found your site may help about my issue on my NSO. My full name is JONAS BELARDO PENAFLOR but in my NSO it is written as JONAS BELARDO only. I have a copy of notary letter, signed by lawyer, stated that my surname is Penaflor but unfortunately, it wasn’t corrected in my recent NSO. What should I do? When I went to the civil registrar, they asked my father to get an authorization letter stating my mother’s witness to use my father’s surname, but unfortunately my mother is in UAE right now. I also have a copy of their marriage certificate. What should i do to resolve this issue? please help me. thank you.
What do you mean by notary letter?
Can you send us a copy of your NSO birth certificate and your parents’ marriage certificate at info@verifiedph.com? This will help us better assess your problem.
Thanks
Hello!
I just recieved my authenticated marriage certificate, when I reviewed all the details, I found out that my husband’s address was wrong (but he’s planning to move to other town within this month).. supposedly it should be “Michel rd. Elkford BC Canada” but the certificate says “Michelle elkford rd. BC canada” I was wondering if this can cause delays for me to get to his place.. or do we need to change his address?
The address of your husband is a very minor detail in the marriage certificate. It doesnt have any legal effect on the validity of your marriage certificate. No need to change it.
thank you in advance 🙂

hi michecesa! My help has a lot of problems with her marriage contract.
1 – her name. in nso bc, it is maria judith while in mc it is ma. judith
2 – his husband’s birth year, n nso bc it is 1979 but in mc it is 1980
3 – name of my father – his middle and last name is my mothers middle name & last name.
i believe this is a major change. upon thinking of the costs on lawyer, they are thinking to get married again using the correct information. But another question is they have 3 kids. All the mothers name and fathers birth year are incorrect. Please advice.
thank you!
im sorry…
3 – name of her father – middle name and last name is her mother’s mn & ln.

This may be corrected as clerical errors. You may file a petition for correction in the civil registry office of the place where you got married.

Good day! Please send a scanned copy of the birth certificate to info@verifiedph.com for us to determine whether it is a clerical error or will require a change of first name under RA 9048.
hello!
I’m aisha..
my case is.. I was not married when my son was born, I got married 2 years later, but not to my son’s father, and the problem is my child was registered using the last name of the father. After birth he showed no support, and now I really want my child to bring my husband’s last name.. what will I do? please help…thank you so much..Godbles
Hi Aisha,
First, we must determine whether your child was acknowledged by his father at the time of his birth which would explain the use of the father’s surname. Please send a scanned copy of the birth certificate to info@verifiedph.com. Second, your child can only use the surname of your husband if he will adopt your child. However, this procedure will require the services of an independent lawyer. Unfortunately, VERified does not handle court cases but will be able to refer you to counsel who can advise you on the matter.
Will an error in date of marriage under RA9048? or need to undergo court procedures.
Hi Carl,
Are you referring to the date of marriage of the parents contained in the child’s birth certificate? It can be considered a clerical error falling under RA 9048 provided that the change of entry will not affect the status of the person indicated in the birth certificate
Hi Michecesa,
My birthdate was typewritten to indicate Dec. 12, 1965. However, the clerk corrected the “12” to “10” by super-imposing a handwritten zero (0) on top of the “2”. When requested for an NSO copy of my birth certificate, they snt me a certificate of “no record”. How do you think should I proceed if this is the case? Would appreciate your advice.
Thank you!
Hi Lissa,
Your Local Civil Registrar must have not endorsed the copy of your birth certificate to the NSO that was why they said you had no record with them. If there is an immediate need of your NSO BC, you may request your LC to endorse it to NSO.
However, you also told us that your birthdate was corrected by the clerk himself, superimposing a handwritten 0 on top of 2. That is not the proper way of correction. Correction of entries affecting age in birth certificates requires a judicial order. Please contact VERified at info@verifiedph.com. They may be able to refer you to a legal counsel who can advise you on the matter.
Hi!
My name on my birth certificate is Catherine but on the NSO copy, my name is Annabelle which is my mom’s name… I don’t know how and where to start to correct it… your blog gave me an idea.. thank you so much.. I was born in manila but lives in Cebu now.. do I have to go to manila for this process? Please help. Thank you.
Hi Cath,
We cannot give you a definite answer as of now unless we see a copy of your birth certificate and its nso copy so that we can fully assess the discrepancies in the entries. You may send us a scanned copy of your BC and the NSO copy at info@verifiedph.com
Hello, thanks in advance.
My Mom is already 60 y/o and she has been using her first name ORTENCIA, and when we got her NSO Birth Cert, it is HORTENCIA, I believe it is under CLerical correction only thus no affidavit of publication requires.
My Mom doesnt have any public documents as she has not been employed.
No baptismal cert, no school records,. Can she just use my own birth cert,voters ID, and NBI Clearance? thats all we have.
thanks.
Hi Yan,
Your problem could be a case of a clerical error and as such, under Republic Act 9048 which authorizes the local civil registrar to correct the error without need of a judicial order. However, you have to present public or private documents showing the correct entry upon which the correction should be based. As you said she did not have a baptismal certificate and not even school records, you may instead present at least a copy of a land title showing her name in case you own properties registered in her name, or if she had entered into contracts under her name, you may present them as well.
I have problem also with my birth certificate. Instead typing it correctly my last name it is misspelled on the second last part; instead of “e” it was type “i”. Only one letter type not correctly. Local registrar office provide me a joint affidavit to justify that they type it not correctly my last name but DFA not honor such joint affidavit.
Can you provide me guidance what should I do?
Hi Rubin,
In your case, the local civil registrar must correct the entry first since it fall under a clerical error case, instead of issuing a joint affidavit. The lcr issued the affidavit because it acknowledged the fact that they were negligent in correcting the error. The remedy remains to be that you file a petition to the local civil registrar and present to them supporting documents upon which the correction of your last name shall be based.
My Auntie have already made an initial correction on the birth certificate of my cousin, but have neglected to correct the middle name which were mistakenly (errors) of the registering officers. Can my Auntie file another corrections on the second time? Thank you.

hi, my middle name in my BC appears ACHUELA but my real middle name is HACHUELA and im using my real middle name in all my personal records. will it cause a problem when i apply for permit to marry? What middle name should i use? tnx very much..
You might encounter a problem if you do not use the middle name that appears on your birth certificate. It is best to correct the misspelling, file a petition for correction of clerical error in the place where you were born.
Hi I also have problem with my middle initial in my birth certificate its MUNOZ but it should be MUŃOZ..please help me..what should i do?
You should file a petition for correction of clerical error to correct the misspelling. You may file it in the local civil registry office where you were born
Hi,
i have a problem with my Mom’s last name. Her father and her mother were not married so she is considered as an illegitimate child. Her first birth certificate was correct when she uses her mother’s name. But when she decided to get her NSO, there was a storm in NEGROS and all the files were lost. When she filed to correct her last name, they used her dad’s last name instead of her mom’s, it was a late registration.
Her Baptismal shows her last name using her father’s. Now the problem is all of us are using the last name of her mother’s or our LOLA not our LOLO. When she requested for a new birth certificate, they gave her the last name of my LOLO or her father’s and that there was also a date of their marriage, when in fact there was no marriage at all.
Where to I start to correct this? Can I use the RA 9048 to avoid hassle?
Thanks. Appreciate your help!
RA9048 does not apply in her case. The date of marriage of parents that appears in your mom’s birth certificate should be cancelled by filing an appropriate case in court. Once this is approved, your mom’s surname will revert to that of your grandmother’s.
my nso birth certificate has a baby girl before my name, what’s the easiest way to do with this?
You will need to file a petition for change of first name in the local civil registry office of the place where you were born. THis is the proper procedure.
hi! i have a problem regarding gender. I am female but in my bithcrt it was male!! I already try to go and ask to the municipal of our province and they said that we will pay around 15,000 pesos for the correction? excluding payment for attorney???Is that the approximately amount??
We think that this is the usual rate. You will pay for filing fees and publication fees, and will probably add up to this amount.
Hi. i would like to ask if how my bf fix his CENOMAR, in his NSO Cenomar he got married. he admit that he undergo secret marriage when he was 19. there is no document that Municipality of Cabanatuan asked for them.

If there is a record of the marriage, he will need to go to court to have it declared void.

If your son was acknowledged by your ex-boyfriend as his own child, there is a very small chance that his name can revert to your maiden name. Nevertheless, you need to engage the services of a lawyer to represent you in court.
good day i’m cris barsaga im a female, but in my birthcertificate gender is male,. how can i change this from male to female? thanks and god bless!
There is a newly passed law wherein correction of errors in gender may now be filed with the civil registrar. No need to file a case in court. Please wait for the implementing rules and regulations. It might take several months, we strongly advise you to wait for these to be released.

Please help me I got two different birth certificates.One from my real parents which I’m illegitimate child and that I don’t have Middle name.Second record of birth is late registration record was done with my aunt/uncle who adopted me 1 month after my real mother gave me birth then she died,in late registration birth certificate all the details are match to my passport info coz I’ve been using the adopted parents since i started schooling and good thing I am legitimate in 2nd record(late registration record).
Both 1st & 2nd Birth certificates from NSO have the same FIRST NAME,LAST NAME AND DATE/PLACE OF BIRTH so only PARENTS are the difference and their information etc.

The proper procedure is for your aunt and uncle to adopt you. THis will straighten out your birth records. THis will also effectively cancel your first registration.

The proper procedure is to file a petition for change of first name from “Hyde” to “Hamid Hyde” in the civil registrar office where you were born.
Meanwhile, the change of gender may also be done in the civil registrar office. But the requirements and procedure for this correction has not been finalized yet. IT is best to wait until these rules have been issued.

You need to follow the spelling that the rest of your family (parents, brothers and sisters) uses. THe basis will be your parents’ birth certificate, marriage certificate or birth certificate of your brothers and sisters. All your other documents should follow that spelling.
Hello po, in my case po is that my Surname is “De los Santos”
But my children uses “Delos Santos” and Marriage Certificate po namin nakalagay ay “Delos Santos” din po.
On the side namn po sa Mrs ko yung name nya na “Melegie” ay natapat ho sa watermark ng birth certificate nya, dun sa “Office of the Civil Registrar General” yung “le” sa Melegie ay napatapat sa “ra” ng “General” kaya kung basahin ay maging “Melagie”. Minsan na ho syang madeny sa SSS benefit dahil dun.
Very appreciated po ako sa maging advice nyo
Kailangan po icorrect yung apelyido ng mga anak ninyo at marriage certificate ninyo, para masunod po ang apelyido sa birth certificate ninyo.

hi, good pm, kindly help. my middle name appears on bc is just a middle initial U;, but the correct middle name is Perez, in addition, my parents age is also incorrect. Can this be consider as clerical error. If it is, what will be the possible documents that will be needed to file correction of error. Thanks in advance
We are not sure if this will qualify as a clerical error. For your middle name to be corrected, you will need to present your mother’s birth certificate, your brothers or sisters’ birth certificate which reflect Perez as their middle name.
As to parents’ age, you will need to present their birth certificates.
Hope this helps.
how much will it cost for changing the last name in the Birth Certificate..?
in this case the mother does not consider the name the father of the child so instead she use her last name that currently appear to the documents.
thank you and God bless.
This will involve a court case. A lawyer will be able to advise you how much the whole procedure will cost.
hi. my bc have an incorrect entry of gender instead of female they entered male. how this problem be corrected and what are the requirements for the corection. thanks and more power!
RA 10172 which was approved into law last month covers this correction. This may be now filed with the civil registrar office where you were born. However, the requirements and procedure have not yet been laid out. We advise to wait for the issuance of the implementing rules and regulations of the law. This may take several months.
I have just read about Republic act 10172 clerical error law that was signed August 15,2012. Says that we don’t need to file court petition. But what is this all about really? Sorry ha, pero ang tanga kasi nang registrar na gumawa ng birth cert ko Jennifer lang di pa ma spell.
Correction of misspelled first names do not need to be filed in court. You may file it in the civil registrar office where you were born.
hi, im a single mom and my sons birth certificate have my middle initial and last name,. i want the middle initial remove. where can i start and how much? pls help thanks

Hi I need advise about my birth certificate from NSO and my local birth certificate my father’s name in my NSO is Lorenzo but i used my local birth certificate Laurencio since when i was in elementary untl college and all my documents is Laurencio in local birth certificate… I asked the head of Patria office if what i should do because I married July 28 2012….He said that if his case he choose the local birth certificate Laurencio because all the documents are Laurencio….so i choose also the local birth certificate so now,the marriage contract is Laurencio ….I never used my Lorenzo in my birth certificate from NSO……It possible po ba na mag deny ang visa ko or they dont authenticate red ribbon my marriage contract and my birth certificate from NSO?
THANK YOU SO MUCH ….HELP ME WHAT IM RIGHT THING TO DO….
You will need to file a petition for change of first name from “Lorenzo” to “Laurencio”. Visa applications and authentication requests rely on the correct details of the birth certificate. And they require the submission of the NSO birth certificate, not the local civil registrar copy.
Hi I’m using Hanna in all my documents and in my NSO it’s Hana. And I’m getting married in USA. What will I do? Pls help.

hi, i need an advice regarding my father’s discrepancy on his name on his NSO Birth Certificate. He was born 1955. His name which he uses and reflected in all his government identification card as well as his Passport since he is a seafarer is JAMES. but when he receives his NSO Birth Certificate, his name was recorded as JAME. I am worried that if he will reach 60, he might not get his SSS pension. now he has retired from work and continually distributing a voluntary SSS contribution so he can receive bigger pension. Can you please advice us if what should we do. Thank you very much in advance.
This needs to be corrected in processing the release of his pension. It depends on the decision of the local civil registrar what course of action you should take. Your father needs to file either a petition for change of first name or a clerical error. He can file it in the local civil registrar office where he was born.
Hi my name is Cristina , I would like to ask a question ? How could I fix my clerrical error birth certificate? 12-16-1978 to 12-15-1978? Please help me I know cost o lot of money for lawyer which I can’t afford it.:(
There is a new law that covers this error. You wont need a lawyer to file the correction. Just file it with the civil registrar in the place where you were born.
Good day!
Your blog is very helpful!
My name has a generational suffix “I”, that is what is written on my birth certificate, i use it ever since. But I know it should be “II” or “Jr.” since i have the same name with my father. Now, I want to correct it. Is that included on the RA9048?
If it happens to be corrected, will i have a problem regarding corrections on my NBI, SSS, Passport, Transcript, Diplomas, etc.?
Thank you in advance!
Thank you for visiting my site.
What will be your corrected name if ever?
If you have used it in all your documents, and this is what appears in your birth certificate, we advise you to continuing using it.
Hello. Just found out that my name in birth cert and marriage contract doesn’t match. In my Bc it’s jannet while in Mc it’s Jannett. I have been using Jannett all my life. I would like to fix this. Can you tell me the process and the requirements? And how long it takes? I need this so I can get a passport ASAP. I’m traveling in a month. Please help. Thanks
Hi Jannett,
You have to correct your birth certificate to reflect the name “Jannett”. However, the procedure will take longer than a month. I dont think it will be corrected in time for your trip.
hi im tine,
in my case it is considered as clerical error,and im going to file it as soon as i complete the requirements.just wanna ask how long will it take from the day i filed it..thanks.
Hi Tine,
It depends on which office is handling your case. Based on our experience, it takes several months before the corrected birth certificate is issued.

Thanks in advance:)
Thanks Shierland,
it will be considered a change of first name. The NSO birth certificate will prevail over the LCR copy.
I would like to ask.. How much would it be? My friend misspelled the name of her daughter from Athena to Athina..she would like it to be changed..how to process? Thanks 🙂

Hi I’m Jenny Caranto Legisniana, after getting my NSO birth certificate i found out that in their record I’m Jenny Caranti Legisniana. How can i change my middle name? what are the requirements needed? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!
Hi Jenny,
You can file a petition for correction of clerical error, to correct the spelling of your middle name. You can file it in the local civil registrar of the place where you were born. You need to present documents that bear the correct spelling of your middle name, such as mom’s birth certificate or those of your siblings, etc.
Hi, please give me an advice what to do to correct my BC entry, on my NSO BC my name is Marlou Tobias Ortega, but my real middle name is Zacarias, so it should be Marlou Zacarias Ortega… all my brother’s and sister’ middle name are Zacarias which is the correct one. and on all my document (TOR,ID’s,NBI clearance and other records) i use Marlou Zacarias Ortega what must i do to correct this issue, is my case included with the earlier signed law about the correction on BC entry? thank you very much
Hi,
Whose surname is Zacarias? It may be possible to treat this as a clerical error, however the final decision lies with the civil registrar of the place where you were born. You can try to file the petition for correction there.
Hello! I need some advice. All my records is Janeth. When i got an NSO for the purpose of getting a passport , my NSO name is Janet. The civil registrar’s office told me i had two registrations. The first was Janeth and the second was Janet. The second one has been registered to the NSO. And so they advised me to used what is in my NSO and an affidavit. Now, i needed a clearer and readable copy of my NSO, and they said that the first registration is the valid registration. They are advising me now to file a petition for RA 9048 and use the first registration. My question is.. what about my passport? My name in my passport is my second Registration, and I have been out of the country twice.
You may change your passport to reflect the name “janeth”. The DFA usually follows the name that is reflecting in your NSO BC.
Thank you so much for your reply to my message. May i know the procedures how to change passport name in DFA? Should i still have an appointment in the internet like having renewal or newly passport applicant? Am sorry, but at the moment I have no idea about it. Hoping for your kind consideration for my problem.
Hi! my Birth Cert says Francis Jose-lou, but most of my ID’s including gov ID have had Francis Joselou / Francis Jose lou telling me that system doesnt accept “dash” or replacing “space instead of dash”. Should I go for Correction of Clerical Error or Change Name? – Thanks!
We think this qualifies as a correction of clerical error
Hello there! May I know what should I do with my case. The name appearing on my NSO certified BC is Cristopher and shows the hand writing of the midwife that assisted my mom when she gave birth to me. When my mom saw the BC filed by the midwife she immediately went to the Local Civil Registrar to file for correction and was able to completed it ( this having the corrected BC and official receipt). But when I requested for a NSO certified BC this year to apply for a passport, the name showing on my BC is still the incorrect name. When I went to the Local Civil Registrar to ask them to correct my First name on BC and showed them that my mom filed for a correction of my name., they didn’t honored the documents I showed them(Corrected Birth Certificate with the Original Official Receipt). The option they told me is to file for clerical error I think that is the RA 9048 but I’m confused why will I pay again if my mom already did this back in 1985?
Hi CHristopher,
We think you will need to undergo correction under RA 9048. We are not able to explain why the correction your mother did is not reflected in your NSO BC. But if you want it to be corrected, the procedure to follow is RA 9048.
Hope this helps
magkano po ba ang bayad sa publication sa manila?, tsaka under pa din ba ng ra 9048 yung nag kamali kasi sa name ng fater ko?
Based on our experience, around P2000 po.

If your dad’s birth certificate is no longer available, you may offer as proof the birth certificate of your dad’s siblings, or maybe your parent’s marriage certificate.

Hi, i need some advice regarding my friend’s BC, she is about to file her application to PRC for next year’s nursing licensure exam, on her BC, it was Maria(Ma), but in her templates and TOR, it is only Maria without the open and close parenthesis Ma. Is it necessary to file a petition for a clerical error? In my understanding, you can read her BC as either Maria or Ma. Is the PRC that strict to reject such minor discrepancy?
Yes the PRC is very stringent now with requirements regarding birth certificate details. It is best to undergo the correction.

Hello po. I would like to ask if how can we fix the error in my birth certificate because my mother’s name written on it was Emelita Diaz but when she got her NSO Birth Certificate, her name is Emilia Diaz. And she is now using the name Emilia in all of her documents. I am planning to get passport but some say it might get denied because of my case.. I am still a minor that’s why appearance of my mother is needed. And someday when she wants to petition me, there might be a problem..

Hi.i had my bc authenticated..to my surprise my nso record is showing april 17,1980..as my bday…when in fact i was born on Feb 14,1979…after learning that it may take 3 months or more to file for petition and have my bday corrected..im kind of considering to use the birthdate showing on NSO file..i really need a passport asap..will it cause issue with NBI? Since i will need that doc as supporting doc for passport application? Should i inform our HR right away of my change of bday if in case im fully decided to use April 17,1980 as my bday?pls help 😊
Best to follow the date of birth on your birth certificate. BEcause a change of date (date, month, year) will involve a court case. Perhaps you can request NBI to amend your record with them using the data on your birth certificate.

We dont see any legal issues here.
i just found out this year 2012 , that i have an existing birth certificate under the name of jennifer penalosa creodo – but during the process of adoption i was again baptised as jennifer lima penalosa – but due to negligence that said name wasnt registered to NSO until 2009. Will the 2nd registry be automatically invalidated because of the 1st one, or will it be fine if i will not acknowledge and file any changes on my name and just stick with the one under jennifer lima penalosa.

hello.. i just wanna ask how can i change wrong entries in my birth certificate..i was born o 1994. it was written there that my mom and my dad were married but they are really not. my mother told me that she was too shy to tell that they are not married after giving birth to me. at the time that the hospital staff asked her if she is married with my dad or not, she just said that they are married and uttered an instant date and place of marriage. i am a 3rd yr college student now and i am using my father’s surname. how can i change these wrong entries to avoid problems in the future especially i am planning to work abroad. thanks!
For cancellation of date of marriage of parents, this needs to be filed in court. Please hire a lawyer to do this for you.

Are your parents married?

Hi,
I just want to know regarding my case on birth certificate, I applied for a passport but my bc was denied due to the reason that in my birthplace section what was written is the name of the clinic where I was born and the exact place/municipality was not indicated, but when you see the place where the bc was filed it is in baclaran pranque..
Any advice on what could we possibly do about this, and what are the proper process we have to go through..
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Mar

Hi there,
I’m from Iloilo City and my name in my original birth certificate is Mariel, but when I received my authenticated birth certificate, it’s written there Mariels… Can the NSO change it since it is clear that they made a clerical / typographical error.
You need to file the correction in Iloilo, which I suppose is your place of birth. The NSO cannot directly correct this. It needs to be done at your local civil registrar’s office.
Question lang po, may problem ang father ko sa entry sa BC nya. In his BC, it was indicated that his nationality is “Chinese” though Filipino naman sya, chinese lang ang lolo ko and lola ko ay filipina. Also, in his BC, nakalagay naman na sa Felix Huertas, Manila sya pinanganak, pero bakit po kaya chinese ang nationality na nakalagay sa BC sya. Magkakaprob kaya pag nag-apply na sya ng retirement/pension benefit sa SSS, this year na po kasi sya mag-retire? Kailangan pa po kayang ipaayos ang BC nya? ano po kaya ang magiging process? Your detailed response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To change the citizenship reflected in his birth certificate, this needs to be filed in court. He needs to hire a lawyer for this.

Hi, I want to change my unusual first name into something more common and easier to spell and pronounce. For example, I want to change Jhezhebhel (not my real name) into Giselle (less embarassing and more common but different).
All of my documents (Birth Cert, ID, records, everything) are named Jhezhebhel. Therefore, I don’t have supporting “documents showing the correct entry or entries upon which the change shall be based” because the name I want Giselle is totally new. Can I change my first name under RA 9048? Are the people in manila city hall/civil registry patient with answering calls/attending to clients? I’ll be grateful for your reply.
You may change your name, on the basis that it is difficult to spell and pronounce. To change to “Giselle”, you must be able to produce proof that you have been habitually using your new name. This is the requirement of RA9048.

For several years already, since my high school days, I am already having headaches re my name, I, Edgardo B. Osorio, 58 years old and jobless, a resident of Isabela City, Basilan, I have already applied and sent through LBC my application for a change of my first name with the City of Manila Registrar’ Office with complete documentations and id’s such as school records, affidavit of my parents to correct my name, nbi & police clearances, marriage cetificate, baptismal certificate, land title and publications in our local newspaper Zamboanga Times which is of generaql circulation here in the South Western Mindanao, but the City of Manila Registrar’s Office rejected my application due they reasoned out that the Zamboanga Times is not of general circulation, why are they like that? I think its only a minor problem with all the supporting documents I have already submitted to support my application for a change of my first name. . please help me. . .
In addition to my comment, I was aided by the Isabela City Civil Registry Office and P.M.O. check payment was sent via LBC, together with all the documents as required., the City of Manila Civil Registry Office. But it was returned to us due to that publication issue.
.
good day. for several years, since my high school days, I am having a headache re my wrong first name, it was registed in the City of Manila Civil Registry Office as DELFIN OSORIO JR. Eversince, when I first studied in kindergarten, I am already using EDGARDO B. OSORIO and not DELFIN OSORIO JR., until todate, With the help of the City of Isabela, Basilan Province, Civil Registry Office, I applied for a change of my first name with City of Manila Civil Registry Office, complete with the required documentations such as bastismal certificate, affidavit of my parents attesting that I am using the name Edgardo since birth, marriage certificate, NBI and Police certificates, land title, School records, SSS/PAGIBIG ID’S, p.m.o. check payment and the Zamboanga Times notice of publication (published in 3 successive weeks) which is a general circulation newspaper here in South Western Mindanao, But the City of Manila Civil Registry Office rejected my application for a change of my first name with all the documentations, as required, submitted to them because they reasoned out that the Zamboanga Times is not of general circulation. Why are they so cruel to a person who is very far from Manila? I am already a resident of Isabela City, Basilan Province, 58 years already and jobless and I could not just go to Manila to apply for a change of my first name personally because I have no money for expenses there. .

pangalawa, yung name mother ko na gemma, gema lng nkalagay

Third, yung baptistmal niya hindi rin pareho, Maria Gemmalyn ang nkalagay.
Possible po ba na magpalate register na lang siya?
Napakalayo po kasi ng bohol,nandito po kami ngayon sa isabela.
Posible ba namin maayos yun dito o kahit sa manila po?
Salamat po!
GodBless.
Kailangan po ayusin yung registration nya sa bohol, at dahil marami pong errors, baka kailangan po i-file na ito sa korte.
Hi I need help. We just realized that we put the wrong place of birth for my husband in our marriage certificate. He’s from another country, and the town for his place of birth is not the correct town, but it is on the same state. He put the town where he’s residing now, instead of his actual birth place. Please help. We are filing for sponsorship for me to be with him and they say it takes 4-5 months to correct the entry through the civil registry. Do you think the place of birth for the husband is a big deal in the marriage certificate? And what can we do to correct them? I went to the civil registrar and they are asking for an affidavit from two disinterested people. Isn’t the passport and birth certificate of my husband proof enough? Why the need for an affidavit? Does it need to be from people in his hometown or can we just request my friends here in the Philippines to sign the affidavit. Please help, we are really stressed out about this detail in our marriage contract. We are afraid it will cost us our application and our chance to have our life together. Thanks in advance for your help.
If it is the right country and state, we think it would not be a big problem. Each civil registrar requires different sets of documents for filing of corrections. It is within their right to do that.
First of all let me thank you for starting this blog, so helpful and informative.
Anyway my problem is i have a wrong middle initial in my land title ( my fault I didnt check well on how my deed of sale). I went to the register of deeds which they corrected it merely just by just showing my two valid ID. But bank officials wont accept it as a collateral unless I will file a petition for correction. ??? I dont think people in the register of deeds will change it just like that if it is not their standard procedure. Should I really file a petition for correction?
If your birth certificate reflects the wrong middle initial, then you should change it.
Hi michecesa!.
i have a problem with my marriage certificate. I just got married last february at philippine embassy here in abroad.the problem was, i found out that my place of birth in marriage certificate was wrong instead of ”quezon city” it was ”caloocan city. i need this document for sponsorship purpose applying to canada. do you think it would be a big deal?? how could i solve this problem?? i need your advice…
Best to have it corrected, since you wouldnt want the documents you submit to the canadian embassy contain incorrect facts.
The proper way of doing it is to file the correction in the philippine embassy where you got married.
Good thing I found this site. sana masagot ang katanungan ko. Yung case ko is mali ang spelling ng lastnames ng tatay at nanay ko sa BC ko. Bale nalakad na namin ang correction last 2006 pa. Ngayon mag-aaply ako ng passport. Nakita ko sa NSO Birth Cert ko na yung sa Nanay ko lang ang naka declare na correction. Ang bobo ko kasi ngayon ko lang siya nakita.
Ang question ko is pano ko to maipaprocess? I have a copy of the Lawyer Certification na nagsasabi ng correction ng both last names ng tatay at nanay ko pero hindi nila nasama nung prinocess nila. Kainis. Can you help me?
You need to file a separate petition for correction, para naman last name ng father mo. The lawyer certification will not be enough for that
Hi sorry sa second post na to. Medyo nagmamadali ako sa post ko sa taas Eto yung complete explanation.
Good thing I found this. Hope you guys can help me on what to do. Yung case ko is mali ang spelling ng Middlename ko at ng tatay ko at Lastname ng nanay ko sa BC ko. Bale nalakad na namin ang correction last December 2006 pa. Nakapag file ako ng Affidavit of Descrepancy last December 2006. Na process and correction ng BC ko. Meron nang anotation yung BC ko ngayon from NSO about sa mga correction.
Dahil kakagraduate ko palang ng college noon d ko napansin na kulang pala ang nakalagay na annotation. Mag-aaply po kasi ako ng passport. Nakita ko sa NSO Birth Cert ko na yung sa Middlename ko at Lastname ng Nanay ko lang ang naka declare na correction. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko kasi di ko nakita to dati.
Ang question ko po is pano ko to maipapaprocess? Do they have a record or copy nung Affidavit of Descrepancy na pinasa ko? Nasa akin ang original. Or do I need to start from scratch again to file for the correction? Pede kaya nila iconsider na kagad kasi mali naman nila na kulang ung annotation. Yun nga lang ngayon ko lang napansin. I appreciate the response.
Good day. My daughter’s (Christine Veronica)case in her birthcertificate is that she’s male. Do i need to file petition for this?

hi. i just want to ask what shall i do to correct the entry of the date of marriage of my parents from my BC. it is different from the real date of marriage stated in their marriage certificate. Thank you in advance for your useful reply.
To correct the date of marriage of parents, it really depends on the circumstances.
hi, i need to secure a passport as our company is requiring me to have one but upon getting a BC from NSO, it appears that the spelling of my name in my BC (“JENIFER”) is different from the one i am using (“JENNIFER”)… what will i do? help please, i really need to have a passport this month
The processing of the correction takes several months, anywhere from 3-6months.
hello, I would like ask about my problem in my name.Actually it is not really the name itself but my middle name.It appeared like this MAINAR (original spelling of my middle name) but the scenario turned to MEINAR (the spelling appeared in my NSO). It’s definitely obvious that it is just a clerical error/typho. but I still need to seek for strong advice for this case. I’m now a graduating college student and a worker. I need to do an action in resolving this matter , please do help me in my problem. Thanks and God bless.
You can file a petition for correction in the civil registrar of the place where you were born
Regarding po sa Birthdate at Name. Simula po ng nagaral ako di ko po ginamit ang tunay ko name, kc nung araw pwede yun. Ngayon po wala ako makuhang record sa City hall kc nasunugan. Hinanap ko sa dating pangalan at sa ginagamit ko pangalan pero wala din po. Ang sabi sa akin magpa late registration na lang. Pagkuha ko ng NSO ang lumabas yung dati kong pangalan pero mali yung year. Ang sabi City hall kumuha nalang ng NSO ung late registration. Nakakuha naman po. Meaning may 2 NSO ako. Ung late registration ung ang Correct lahat. ngayon nagpapapalit ako ng Birthdate for Year 1955 to 1954 sa SSS, naipasa ko na lahat ng documents Kahit late registration di pa rin tanggapin.
ipapasa ko po sana sa SSS ung Dati NSO kasu dating name ko pa un. pero tama ung Birthdate except sa day.
More than 5 years ko na po nagpapa amend sa sss, hirap na po ako magpabalik balik. at magpasa ng madaming documents. sawang sawa na napo ako sa utos nila, sumunod lang naman ako sa ni rerequire nila. lahat na ng Affidavit na gawa na.
Ano po kaya ang dapat kong gawin sa NSO at SSS. thanks
hi mam/sir

Does the above apply also fr changing the date and place of marriage of parents? I was born ayear before my parents marriage. But instaed, mparents wrote the ir marriage date 6months before i was born. I need to process visaad marriage with a foreigner abroad, but definetly this needs to be corrected. Do u know a faster and economical way?
We think this can be corrected in the civil registrar in the place where you were born.
Hi michecesa.
I would like to ask if the above explanation applies to change the date and place of marriage of parents of one’s birth certificate?
The date is incorrect. Though me and my wife was not married when our child was born, she wrote a date 6 months before birth of our child. Our actually marriage is 6 months later our child is born. An attorney explained my wife it will cost almost 40,000 pesos and a period of 1 year.
I was also advised to submit a late birth certificate and delete the original birth certificate. is it really possible?
In case of the entry on the date and place of marriage, the attorney is correct that it will take that time and money to fix it. This needs to undergo a court proceeding before a judge.
my case goes this way, all of the entries in my NSO birth certificate are correct except for the age of my mother at the time of my birth. It states that she was 26 years old, when in fact, she was already 32 at that time.The same problem goes with my older brother. what do we need to do in order to correct this error? Thank you very much.
You may file this as a clerical error in the civil registrar office in the place where you were born.
Is it necessary that I seek assistance from a public attorney, or can I just file it in the civil registrars office on my own? How long does the process take place?
You may do this on your own. Usually takes a few months
Ask ko lng po mali po ung place of birth ko sa marriage contract ko how much po ba babayaran ko pg pinaayos ko po un? Salamat po..
Pwede po i-file ito for correction sa place kung saan kayo kinasal. At ang filing fee nito ay p1000
Ask ko lng po mali po ung place of birth ko sa marriage contract ko how much po ba babayaran ko pg pinaayos ko po un? Ano po ba dapat gawin nmin..salamat po..
I badly needed an advice..
My name is Karl Anne. Since birth, my documents were spelled the same. It was maybe I merely hop with schools I’ve gone, also with other supporting documents that I got for work. I have a baptismal certificate which is also a two-word name.
But with my Birth Certificate, it is posted as Karlanne. I can’t get passport because of this. I want to file a clerical error. My questions are, first, is this only be filed in my local registry? Can this be done here in NSO head office? I tried asking other local registries here in Manila and they have been asking for almost double of the payable needed, at the end, not so sure amount which may take higher eventually (we probably know why). Second, may I know how long will it takes?
Thanks so much.
It depends on the civil registrar in your place of birth if this is treated as a clerical error or a change of first name. So it is best to file it there directly. It will take several months before it is approved, around 3 months
Hi

Hi I need help..the entry for “Total number of children born alive” in my b.c has a typewritten “1” on it but on the code box next to it has a handwritten “02”..now the thing is when I submitted my b.c to file for a change in visa, the immigration questioned me about that..saying that the type written “1” should be “2” since I’m the second child..they’d given me a month to fix that otherwise I will be force to go back in the Philippines..unfortunately,they didn’t saw the handwritten “2”..what will I do to fix this problem?can I just submit an affidavit of discrepancy to them? I’m hoping you can answer my question..Thank you very much

Hi Michecesa. My girlfriend has incorrect gender entry in her birth certificate. She is almost 90% done with the Local Civil Registrar requirements for the correction of entry(only remaining requirements are Government doctor’s certification and the applicant’s medical records). My question is, can we pursue with a civil wedding ceremony while the correction of entry is still about to be filed? Will they consider this? Or will the incorrect entry hinder our civil wedding requirement like the marriage license.
Thanks for your insight. More power.
It’s best to inquire with the civil registrar if they will allow you to apply for a marriage license, while the petition is still pending.

Good day,
I need your advice. Sa copy kasi ng NSO birth certificate ko, wala po akong first name. Pero nung kumuha po ako ng Certified Xerox Copy sa City Civil Registry, my first name was there but looks handwritten. My first name (handwritten) can also be seen on the “16a. Information Given in Supplemental Report” section of the certificate with date NOV 21 under “16b. Date When Information was Supplied”. My employer said late registration daw po ito (because I was born October 19) kaya Baptismal Cert. yung ginamit for may requirements…
I’m wondering what can I do about it so my first name will also show in my NSO BC. Hope you can help. Thank you.
DOes the same annotation “Information Given in Supplemental report” also appear in your NSO birth certificate?
It is best if you could present us these documents so we can fully assess the problem. You may call 7051265/7051277 to set up an appointment with our birth certificate specialists. Thanks

Hello. I find this forum quite helpful. I have a query myself. I hope you could give me advise on this. My mother’s birth date in her BC is different to her actual one, so last February 2013, she started filing to have this corrected. Then just 2 months ago, it has already been approved by the court, but until now she still has not received her new birth certificate with her correct birth date. The lawyer kept on saying, they are just waiting for the NSO. Do you know what that means? Is that the last step? And do you know how long that could take? Thanks you.
Kind Regards,
Hannah
Hi Hannah, the court decree needs to be registered in the place where the court is, and where your mother was born.
The NSO will not do this on its own. It is up to the client to do so.
You may also call our office 7051265/7051277 to set up an appointment with our birth certificate specialists for more advice on your problem. Thank you.
Hi! i am already 20 yrs old. i have a problem with my birth certificate. I used my mother’s surname ever since i was a child. all my school records are with the surname of my mother. but in my BC it is my father’s surname that was registered. now i want to change my BC into my mother’s surname because that was what i used in my lifetime and since my parents are not married and my father does not give any support to us. will my petition prosper? thanks!
You might need to have this corrected in court. We cannot say for sure unless we see the documents.

I like this site.
I had been using a birth record that states that my name is Anthony, born on July 15 and in the City of Baguio. Later I came to know that I was previously registered as Michael, born on June 15, in the Muncipality of Sablan. Would it be possible to have my FIRST birth certificate (with the name of Michael) be cancelled by filing a petition and court? I would like to continue using my second registration because that is all in my records. Tnx.
Yes that’s possible
Is the OIC for the Civil registrar allowed to facilitate a petition of the clerical error for the surname?
No, only a duly appointed civil registrar can approve the petition
Hi, Im jenny, it’s actually my sister’s marriage certificate. She is in Dubai right now, the thing is, her mother in law’s last name was mispelled, instead of Vipen, it shows Lipen in the certificate. They need to correct it before she could file for a visa to Australia. I would really appreciate it very much if you could advise me of what to do and what the documents required to correct this. thanks in advance.. Godbless
This can be corrected in the civil registrar where the marriage is registered. Among the requirements is birth certificate of her mother-in-law.

Hello po puedeng po bang pakitulungan ako sa problema ko regarding my birth certificate…
1.meron po akong 2 birth certificates….1 filed in Bulacan by my father, kaya lang po sobrang daming errors…. 1st name ko “JHOANA” instead of “JHOANNA”. Middle name ko “JUCOTAN” instead of “CUCUTAN” 1st name ng mo ko “MILANDA” instead of “MILA”. “MARRIED” daw sila ng mom ko which is hindi naman. Birth date ko “JULY 19 1979” instead of “April 19 1979”. Ngayon po sa dami po ng errors sa BC ko may nag adviced po yata sa mom ko na ipa late register na lang ako para maitama yung mga errors which she did. Pina late register naman ako sa Pangasinan. But nung kumuha po sya ng copy ng birth certificate ko (1994-95) ang ini-issue po ng NSO sa kanya ay yung copy na ini-file ng father ko. So para po makakuha po ako ng passport at ma-petition ng mom ko (i was 16 yrs old then) ang dami pong affidavits ang kinailangang ipagawa para maitama yung spelling ng first name ko, middle name ko, 1st name ng mom ko and civil status po nila. And sinunod ko na rin po yung birth date (July 19 1979) para sa applications ko. So i got my passport, moved to sweden with my mom and lahat na po ng legal documents ko…. JHOANNA C. CABRERA….JULY 19 1979…..BAGBAGUIN STA. MARIA BULACAN ang birth place ko ang naka input. Now, comes my big issue….. I’ve moved to a different country, my husband and i are in the processed of fixing my legal status. I asked one of my relatives from the Pangasinan to order a copy of my birth certificate and the the one she sent me was a mess, ( birth certificate filed by my father) you couldn’t read a thing on the copy, its like its written in a different language or something. Our lawyer didn’t accept that copy and asked us to do something about it (maybe someone from NSO could re-type it so it could be read well, or have it re-type to correct all the errors so i won’t be needing the affidavits to support the corrections) So this time my relative went straight to NSO in Manila and NSO issued her another copy of my BC but this time, its the one “late registration” that my mom filed in our province. JHOANNA C. CABRERA….APRIL 19 1979…. Birthplace is URDANETA PANGASINAN and it says in the BC that im the FIRST born child, i am actually the 2ND. So now, i have 2 different birth certificate of me with mess up informations on hand and i have no idea on what to do to clear this mess. I hope you could help me in any way or refer me to someone who could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. T.I.A.

Hi how are you. I recently proposed to my girlfriend in the Philippines. We are in the process of getting her a passport so that I can apply for a fiance visa. I became aware that she has an issue with her birth certificate. Her mother’s surname is incorrect on the certificate. The names are different. The way she is explaining it is that her parents were not married at the time of her birth. So, her Mom’s surname at birth as reflected on the birth certificate is accurate and her name is also accurate at birth. Her other supporting documentation is as follows: driver’s license, LSO certificate, high school ID, and voter’s ID. So when she got these documents she is saying that her name automatically changed. What she is telling me is that once her mother married (her father), her mother’s middle name changed from her mother’s sir name to her father’s sir name. So my fiance automatically changed her middle name to her father’s sir name. If what she is saying is correct I do not think there is an issue with the difference in her name between her birth certificate and the subsequent supporting documents.
When her parents got married, its effect is that the father’s surname becomes her surname, mother’s surname becomes her middle name. But the document does not automatically reflect this. She has to undergo the process called legitimation, and it needs to be filed in the place where she was born, showing her supporting documents.
Hi kailangan ko po ng information tungkol sa BC ng friend ko. papunta sana syang US kasama ang mother niya na fiancee ng US citizen but yung birth certificate is mali yung marital status ng magulang nya nakalagay dun ay “married” pero hindi naman talaga kasal ang nga magulang nya nung ipinanganak sya at never sila nagpakasal. Paano po kaya ang proseso ng pagpapabago ng marital status ng magulang nya sa birth certificate nya? Natatakot po kasi sila na baka madeny sila sa pagpunta sa US dahil for fiancee visa nga po ang mama nya. Pls help po. Salamat.
Kailangan po ito icorrect through a court order. For more details, you may call us 7051265/7051277

This is a unique situation, you might need to ask the civil registrar and NSO directly
Hi. Good afternoon, may I ask what should I do because My name in the Birth Certificate has Ma. in it and all through out I have never used that Ma. in my name or in any of my documents in which I am a part of, including my diploma, my licenses and the ID’s it just so happened that when I applied for an SSS number they told me to use that Ma. which was written on my NSO birth certificate, I have an Affidavit for that but the SSS employee said that it’s not enough proof that my Ma. should be included. And I am applying it for a clerical error at the civil registry is that correct? My mom said that she thinks that the ones who took my name mistakenly put Ma. in my name because my Mom’s name has Ma. in it.

To correct the name Nikki Juni to Nikki Junie, you dont need to go to court for this. You can do this at the civil registrar’s office where you were born.
To add a new name, you have to prove you have habitually used this, through documents that you need to present.

To whom it may concern,
My mother was born in Bohol, but she was “late-registered” in Quezon City. What should we do since we would like her documents (birth certificate, passport) to be corrected as in her birth place states she was born in Quezon City.
Could we “request to transfer” from Quezon City to Bohol?
Hoping for your response.
Thank you.
That is possible, please call us 7051265/7051277 for more details

Good day to you. I learned that after using my birth certificate for all my legal documents the birth certificate filed as late registration in 1988 was not the one being released by the NSO. The problem is that both the name and the birth date is not correct. I already know that i can’t do anything except to go to court. I just need to know how many months it would take to accomplish the task until the ammended birrh certificate is released by NSO. Thank you.
After the court decision is rendered, this has to be registered with the civil registrar and with the NSO. Usually takes 2-3 months
hI PO. .pano po yong Name ko naka record sa LCR ay Josie so lahat nang papers q josie ang ginagamit q, tapos sa Nso ay Jogie pano po yon eh wala pong authorized sa Lugar namin na e correct yong name q. wala kac appointed yong mayor namin more than 3 yrs nah. may ibang way pa po ba para ma correct yong name q? Salamat po.
Kung wala pa pong inaappoint na LCR, the only way to correct it is before a judge, at kailangan nyo po ng abogado para dito
HELLO poh ako po c roger sinangote tanong ko lang poh magkano po ba ang aking mababayaran sa civil registral dahil ang nso ko poh ay walang gender at saka walang type of birth at ilang buwan ito maprocess tnx poh
Depende po ang fees sa civil registrar, dahil iba iba po ang singil nila para sa ganitong klaseng procedure.

I need some help. I was born before my parents got married. So I had my mom’s surname on my birth certificate. When they got married, they already took legal steps to change my surname but then when we got my NSO birth certificate, it was still not changed.What should we do for this? I really need this corrected so I’d appreciate it if there’s something we can do ASAP.
Did your parents file an affidavit for legitimation in your place of birth? This would have been the proper procedure. Do you have the documents that would prove the legal steps taken?

Gusto ko lang po sana din itanong kung ano ang gagawin ko din sa BC ko. kasi po nung time na nagdelayed registration po ako ay sinabi sa akin ng isang clerk ng civil registrar na hindi ko daw po pwede dalhin ang apelyido ng tatay ko kasi walang pirma niya. e ang kaso simula’t sapul yun na ang dinadala (Falcasantos)ko hanggang makapag-asawa ako yun ang dinadala ko. pero here it comes na nag pagawa ako ng BC ko, yun ang sabi niya na kailangan dalhin ko ang apelyido ng mother ko kasi illegitimate child po ako. at pinagawa ko nga ang BC ko at lumabas doon apelyido ng nanay ko(Jacinto). pero apelyido pa rin ng tatay ko ang dinadala ko kahit middle initial ng mga anak ko ay yung apelyido ng tatay ko. Ngayon kailangan ko mag take ng teachers board exam e hinahanap pala talaga ang authenticated na BC ko from NSO positive na lumalabas apelyido ng nanay ko. kaya yun hinanap ko ang tatay ko para pirmahan ang pinagawa kong birth certificate at natagpuan ko naman siya. ang kaso sa huli na double registration ako at ang una kong BC yun at yun pa rin ang lumalabas. apelyido pa rin ng nanay ko. anong gagawin ko kasi doon sa una kong NSO BC wala man yung middle initial doon. pwede ba yun ipa cancel ang una? kasi ako pa rin naman yun. middle initial ko yun sa pakadalaga ko.
Kung ipapacancel po ninyo ang una ninyong birthcertificate, kailangan po ninyo ng abogado. Ang cancellation na yun ay dapat gawin sa korte.
Kailangan po ito para maaccess ninyo ang pangalawa ninyong registration

Pwede po itong icorrect sa civil registrar kung saan po kayo ikasal.

Doon din po yan iko-correct sa civil registrar na yun.

Hindi po clear ang error. Perhaps you can email us a copy of the marriage certificate at info@verifiedph.com. And please include your contact details so we can contact you directly.
ginagamit po ng mama ko na surname nya is baylosis which is surname din ng mama nya. so yun po ang nilagay nyang surname nya sa birth certificate ko at yun din ang nilagay nyang middle name ko. nung kumuha po ng copy ng birth certificate ang mama ko sa nso, she found out na middle name po pala nya ang baylosis at ang surname nya po talaga is tolio which is her father’s surname. gusto ko po sanang ipacorrect surname ni mama sa birth certificate ko at middle name ko kasi ipacorrect ko rin po ang gender ko.. paano po ang gagawin ko?
Depende po ito dahil marami-rami rin po ang error sa birth certificate ninyo.Baka kailangan po ninyong kumunsulta sa aming birth certificate specialist para malaman po ang tamang paraan ng pagcorrect nito. Pwede po kayong tumawag sa 705125/7051277. Thanks

Hi..question, how long does the process usually take?? Let’s say everythings been submitted and all?
Regarding corrections, it takes an average of 3-4 months before it is approved at the civil registrar level
I hope you can help me with my confusing problems now. I want to find out, What is the really right thing to do.
My ex-husband ( petitioner ) filed for an annullment which is granted already but technically after the decision was made , His lawyer filed for motion of correction for my name ( respondent ) na mali po yung name ko
instead of Maria Fe Santos, ang nalagay ng lawyer nya po all throughout the annullment process hanggang sa matapos is Marife Santoz.
kulang po ng letter A sa Maria fe and instead of letter S, ginawa pong letter z yung santos ko.
they filed for motion for correction of name and done with the hearings, they tried to correct dun sa judge na nag decide ng annullment, and they provided naman lahat ng pwedeng ma-provide na available. presented my original Mariage contract, BC ng mga kids ko po, and some old student id’s na may Mariafe Santos, Marife Santos, Maria Fe Santos
ang lumabas kay judge is inconsistency pa din daw po ksi dahil may naging id ako nung high school po na Marife Santos. so nag file for motion for re-consideration po yung lawyer ng ex ko, and kinausap nya po mismo yung judge,
In short hndi na kinorrect ng judge yung typo error sa name ko po dhil mag r-register naman daw po yun dahil ang petitioner client ( my ex-husband) ang nag file. ma ccorrect na daw po sa LCR kung san kami kinasal…
nag motion for withdrawl of correction na nga po yung atty. dhil pinaliwanag na nung judge na sa LCR na lang daw po ang correction nun….
In short nkakuha na po yung ex husband ko ng Certificate of authenticity, Certificate of Decision and Certificate of finality which is already registered to the city civil registrar where annullment is granted.
nung dinala naman po sa LCR where we filed our mariage para sa annotation, kung anu na daw po ang nsa court na decision and finality yun daw po susundin nila.
hndi nga daw pwede dahil hindi tugma yung mariage contract name ko sa decision, so ayaw din po pumayag ng LCR dapat daw po sa court na nag grant ng annulment ang mag correct.
lately na lang po sakin pina alam thru my brother na ganun po pala ang problem kung bkit hindi ma register pa sa LCR yung certied true copy ng annullment and decision to annotate to have the endorsement going to nso.
marami naman po akong pwedeng i provide na documents like yung birth certificate ko , marriage contract , bank records, birth certificate ng mga anak nmin na ang tlagang name ko po is Maria fe Santos.
please help me po, kung anong dapat kong gawin, since nung nasa process of annullment pa, wla po tlaga akong communication sa knila and wla po tlaga akong alam na may problema pala sa typo error of my name sa annullment process. sabi daw po ksi nung lawyer nya is madali na lang yung correction and importante, matapos ang annullment.
kala daw po ksi is maaayos din nya ng hndi nko kailangan, anu po kya ang pwede kong gawin? anu po kaya ang dapat ko tlagang gawin since pangalan ko na po ksi yung involve dun sa typo error. yung lawyer nman po nya is hindi na kumikilos. kya sakin na po binigay yung burden to correct yung name ko, wala nman po akong lawyer, kya nag browse na lang po ako sa internet kung san ako pwedng mkahingi po ng legal advise.
sana matulungan nyo po ako and salamat po ng marami

I was born in Manila. Sa birth certificate ko, mali ang last syllable ng family name ko. Instead of “—es”, ang naisulat ng clerk (handwritten) ay “—as”. Sa NSO copy ganun din. Dati affidavit lang na pinagawa ng nanay ko ang naka-attach palagi sa birth cert ko . Pero nung kumuha ako ng kopya sa NSO hindi na daw pwede ngayon ang affidavit lang. Kailangan ipa-correct sa Manila City Hall.DIretso na po ba ako sa City Hall o kelangan ko pa dumaan sa lawyer? Thank you. Big help po ang site niyo.
Pwede na pong dumeretso sa city hall, dahil pwede po itong iconsider na clerical error.

Hi. I just want to ask. I dont have middle name when I got my NSO. The problem is that all of my documents have my middle name on it. How can I file adding middle name on my NSO? How much will it cost to add? Please help me on this. I cant go aborad because of this.
Were ur parents married po?
I just forgot, my middle name is gallego. I was born in Maria Aurora. Im now staying in Cavite. And I would like to find out how I can fix my missing middle name in my NSO. Please help me
good day po. ShaNe dapat ang name ko pero ang nasulat sa Birth Certificate ko ay shaMe, naging ‘M’ instead of ‘N’ .
to make it sound less ridiculous iniba nalang namin yung approach on how to pronounce it, instead of (horribly) pronouncing it as (sheym) ginawa nalang namin na (sha-me or shamy). my close friends call me by either ‘sha-me’ or ‘shamy’.
most of my neighbors and relatives call me shaNe pa din
recently i opted to be called nalang ‘sham’ para mas close sa name ko and parang it looks like the ‘e’ is just there but not included sa pagpronounce, i am known by this nickname sa present work ko, i deliberately removed nalang yung ‘e’ sa corporate email account ko para less confusing, but just the same it still sounds off as ‘shame’
but obviously inde ko naman magagamit officially either of the 3 (sham, sha-me, shamy) lalo na sa mga legal documents. eversince po yung ‘shaMe’ ang sinusunod ko sa mga public documents school records and and IDs kasi mostly based sa birth certificate so wala po akong existing record na ‘shaNe’ ang name na nag-appear. and i really really want to change it dati pa kaso before napakacomplicated ng process and i heard magastos.
nakakapagod na din kasi mag explain bakit ganun ang name ko and madaming cases na bumababa ang self-confidence just because of my name, nakakaapekto na din sya sakin personally kasi parang sa name ko pa lang sounds lang ‘nakakahiya’ na,
possible po ba na ma-change sya to ‘shaNe’ given yung mga circumstances na nasulat ko? that will really boost my self-confidence, looking forward to that day i proudly introduce myself by my real name.
i would really appreciate your advise. thanks so much.
You may change your name if is a confusing, ridiculous sounding one.
It is one of the reasons a person can validly change the first name.
hello po…i’m Irene Joy hilario..i have problem on my BC.it is about the Type of birth: Single..( i was born single and i have no twin)…but on 5b: if multiple birth: _/_first was check..so what i am going to do?there is a need for correction?? the agency i applied told me for correction.So,as i consult to our LCR, there is no need for correction,they told me for a supplemental affidavit made by the lawyer …i want it clear because i am confuse which is the correct one.
thank you…
IF it is a typographical/clerical error as we see it, then it needs a correction. It needs to be filed with the LCR
maam, tanong ko lng po kung gaano katagal ang pag process for correction of middle name at anu-ano pa po ba yung kailangan para maayos kaagad? tnx 🙂
3-4 months on the average po para macomplete ang process. Dapat po complete po ang mga requirements. For more details, please call us 7051265/7051277. Thanks

Paano naman po kung ang NSO ang nagkamali? mali po kasi ang gender ng anak kong babae..male ang nakalagay ng kumuha kami ng copy sa NSO..samantalang wala naman pong mali sa mga original na pinagkopyahan nila..female po ang nakalagay sa original na galing sa municipal namin. bakit naging male,samantalang kinacopy lng naman nila yung original di ba!
Yun po kasi ang process talaga. As far as we know, NSO cannot correct the error on its own. We are giving you advice based on what the rules are, and based na rin po sa experience namin sa pag-correct ng mga ganitong papeles.
Hi,
Last 2005 I applied for an authenticated birth certificate from NSO because it’s one of the requirements of the university I enrolled for college.
When I went to NSO there is no record of P. S. A. E. (acronym only- PS is my 1st name, A is my Middle name & E is my surname) .NSO advised me to go to the Local Civil Registrar Office to file for delayed registration. So I followed the said instruction and comply of all the affidavits that LCR required me. After processing the late registration, I was able to have my NSO authenticated birth cert but my name was changed to P. S. E. (they omitted my middle name) because I’am illegitimate – my mother and father were not married, in short I only have a single parent who is my mother.
BUT, when I tried to get a NSO birth cert again recently because it’s one of the requirements to take for licensure exam, I was disappointed that the record they have is P.S.E.P (P is the surname of my father). It was indicated also in the said NSO doc. that my mother and father are married (but they’re not). The informant was my mother and in the said document she used my father’s surname.
This happened because last 2010 NSO had integration of all their records. Way back 1989 my mother registered me as P.S. E. P. indicating that they’re married with my father (but then again their NOT) and used my father’s surname as hers. That act made my 2005 delayed registration null and void because I already had an existing record.
Now, if I’m going to use P.S. E. P. – I have to change all my scholastic records and government records. But the problem is that the marriage of my parents is n not true.
But if I’ll retain P.S. E. – I don’t have to change all my records. But I guess the process would be very long and is probably expensive.
Also, what would be the implication of my mother as the informer in giving wrong data regarding the date & place of their marriage when in fact they’re not. And of using my father’s surname as the informer.
What should I do?
This is a case of double registration. To resolve this, it needs to be done in court. For more details, please call us at 7051265/7051277. Thanks
hi miss, tanong ko lang po kung ano po method na gagawin ko sa pag-ayos ng bc ko. ang nakalagay po sa nso ko is MA MELANIE while all my documents(sss, transcript of records, even baptismal certificate, marriage contract) ang nakalagay po ay MELANIE lamang.. paano ko po kaya ito maayos at magkano po kaya ang magagastos. salamat po at more power

Hello po…We have some problem po with my nanay’s birth certificate…According to all her records (marriage certificate, voter’s ID, etc) she was born April 6,1963 but when we got her birth certificate sa NSO it’s says that she was born May 6, 1963. Sabi ng nanay ko yung marriage contract nya was based on her baptismal certificate kasi nasunog daw yung munisipyo kung san sya nakaregister so yun yung sinunod nung nagpakasal sila ng tatay ko. And that was also the same birth date that we’ve been following ever since. But when we saw the birth certificate, may bura dun sa month pero yung year 1960 talaga pero medyo malabo po yung copy nung sa NSO. We are trying to get a passport for her sana.
Is there a way for us to have the birth date (month and year) corrected sa municipal namin or should we just follow whatever is on the birth certificate and request for a change of her records (marriage certificate and COMELEC records so she can get her passport.
We would really appreciate your help on this since we don’t have much money to spend on this.
Thank you.
To correct the NSO details regarding the birthyear, this needs to be done in court. This will entail more expenses. If it can be done, have all her other records corrected nalang.
Thanks a lot po…but can we contact nso to change the birth date on her marriage certificate para maalign sya dun sa NSO birth certificate nya.
For any other corrections in your NSO documents, best way to do that is through the local civil registrar where the marriage is registered.
hi! 🙂 i did a lot of backreading and your site is really informative, thank you for this. 🙂
I just want to confirm something before doing any actions, in my case my real last name is “Decipolu” but in my NSO BC it’s spelled as “Decipulo” as well as on my LCR, i do have a joint affidavit of disinterested persons though,..

Hi Ma’am,
My father just found out recently that the last letter of his last name should be letter “S” and not “Z”, (should be Ibañes and not Ibañez) it is also reflected on his birth certificate. However, all his Government I.D.s were filed as Ibañez as well as their marriage contract. Do we have to follow what appears on his Birth certificate (letter S) or it is much better to just apply for an amendment and stick to the last name he is currently using (Letter Z)? How it will affect the immediate family, do we also have to make amendments?
Appreciate your kind feedback.
IT is best to follow the spelling that the family uses. The correction will be based on documents.

Hi! I have a problem regarding my husbands birth certificate. He has the Local Birth Registration but He cannot get his NSO Birth Certificate. Her sister and his birth date were almost the same. Her sister’s birthday appears on NSO BC as March 8, 1990 while my husband was March 15, 1990. They are not twins. Her sister is older than him. She registered herself first to LCR and NSO before my husband did. After few years, in 2009, the LCR was burned and my husband’s document was together with them according to the LCR Office. Last year, my husband tried to get an NSO Birth Certificate. It stated that NO RECORDS found. This year, he tried again but unfortunately, whenever he gets his BC, using his name and month and year, it is the BC of his sister that she gets. When we contacted his sister, she said that according to the LCR, his document was transmitted already to the NSO. But each time he attmepts to get his BC, it is the BC of his sister that she gets. The NSO said my husband’s name appear on their record but he has no birth certificate. What should I do for him? Can i apply the Republic Act 10172? Can we ask the LCR be the one to help us and be the one to go to NSO and we will just wait? Or do wee need to hire an atty. to file a case in court? Please help us regarding this issue. He needs to go to local and abroad for work. Thank you so much and MORE POWER!

Hi, i want to ask if how my mother and I can change my last name, i am 19 and we want to use my stepfather’s name but he’s already dead, what can we do about this? Do you know some law about this? Thanks
The only way you could use your stepfather’s name is through adoption. But he is already dead, the adoption case cannot push through.
Your mother can still change her last name to follow your stepdad’s name, if they got married.
Hello po, when i got my authenticated NSO Birth Certificate and Marriage Certifcate there is discrepancy in my surname. In my bith certificate, my surname appears to be Santos only instead of delos Santos and so with my father’s surname. But in my marriage contract, my surname is delos Santos and my father’s surname entered correctly as delos Santos which is correct because that is the correct surname i have been using ever since in all my records even in the death certificate of my father and all records pertaining to him, his surname is delos santos and so with all my siblings, they have the correct surname of Delos Santos appearing in their birth certificates. Now that i have to get a passport i think i will have problem regarding that, is it a clerical error? How long a time does it take for the processing to correct the same. Thank you very much.
Yes it can be considered a clerical error. It takes several months to complete. For more details, please call 027051265/027051277 for an appointment with our specialist. Bring all your documents po, so we can advise you accordingly.

Hello! Good day. This is my case: My gender was erroneously marked in both my live birth and NSO. Both Male and Female were marked X, however in the male it was enclosed in parenthesis like this (X). When I applied for passport, the DFA did not accept my NSO. I went to our local registry and requested for a correction in my gender. When will i receive my corrected NSO from the Main Office?Is there a need for a court hearing and publication? Thanks!

My mother was born November 19, 1950. But every time we are requesting in a Birth Certificate in NSO, they are giving us a different person/print out “my aunt’s record “my mother’s older sister. Our problem now is how we will fix this record? How to late register my mother if NSO doesn’t want us to give a “Zero Record Report from their System. We have tried to speak with my auntie to fix her record but she refused. “Originally my aunt was born 1949 but when she did the late registration she only followed her wrong marriage contract which is 1950.
I hope that you can give us a an advice regarding my concern
Thanks a lot
Chris

Hello. I am writing about my husband’s late registration of his birth certificate. He was registered twice since he didn’t know that prior to his filing, somebody filed for him already. The problem is that the first birth certificate had problems. His birthday was erroneously entered as September 18, 1976 instead of September 10, 1976.
I believe that this clerical error still falls under RA 9078 and that the fee for the change of birthday would be P1000.00. Am I right?
Do we need to have publication for this?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi I am Rodel Earl. I also encounter problems with my NSO birth certificate. Here’s the story. my mother taught that I was not registered when she gave birth to me so she decided to make me late registered. From kindergarten to just last year, I am using my original civil registrar and original late registered nso certificate until last year, my last copy of my NSO certificate is being kept by DFA as one of the requirement for application of passport, when applying abroad one of requirement is original NSO birth for red ribbon. Now when I get a copy from NSO last year, suddenly my late registered NSO is block with a different NSO copy with different name with no extension name like Rodel only. I asked the NSO attendant they said that we had to correct it in civil registrar, when I go to the registrar they said I need to consult a lawyer. Now, I hired a lawyer and he said that there are some delays due to typhoons and earthquake last year and the case are all pending, When it was alright, his explaination again is the solicitor general have comments, when I ask him about the comments he did not reply. I already paid him almost full with no improvement on my case.I would like to seek your advice. Thanks.
You will need advice from another lawyer. IT is best to seek a second opinion.

Hi..
I have a question regarding my friend’s name, she Jackielyn instead of Jackelyn which is what is in her NSO birth certificate is. Her sss, pag-ibig and all her records shows Jackielyn as her name.
Is this considered as clerical error?
How long is the process to have her NSO corrected?
Can she just have her record fixed like her SSS, paibig, Tax, etc. instead?
It might be considered a change of first name. It takes an average of 4-6 months from filing.
She can also have her records fixed to follow her NSO birth certificates. This has to be transacted per office.

Hello! Ask ko lang po if pano kapag isang letter lang ang mistake? Johainah Rodriguez Madid po ang name ko. Nakalagay po sa biryh certificate ko is Johainah Rodriquez Madid.”Q” po yung nakalagay instead of “G”. Lahat naman po ng documents ko is RODRIGUEZ ang nakalagay.Yung birth certificate ko lang ang mali. Binigay po sakin yung mga requirements na kailangan pero kulang po ang requirements ko. Walang birth certificate yung mother ko kasi naanod daw yung nabagyo sila at sad to say, di po nakaregister sa NSO. So wala na po bang pag-asa na correct yung middle name ko? Kelangan ko po ba ng attorney? Mga magkano po ang babayaran? Kelangan ko po kasi para sa passport ko. Maraming Salamat po. More power.
Pwede pa naman po macorrect ito as a clerical error. Although una pong hihingin ang birth certificate ng mother nyo, as an alternative, pwede po ang marriage contract nya. Or birth certificate po ng mga kapatid nyo.

Hi..my name is Mary Fe.. Way back 2001 I’ve found out that my name was not registered from NSO,that’s why I used to have a late registration..and everything was cleared..after 4 years,I’ve decided to go abroad and finally got my passport,..and now I am here in U.A.E and planning to get married,and i authorised my sister to get my authenticated BC,but my name in my authenticated BC was “Marife”. I just wanted to ask if how come it was happened.. And my cenomar spelled as “Mary Fe” and that’s the correct spelling.. And the NSO staff said that my late registered is not appearing in their system..how can I got my passport and used it for so many years if my name was not registered?

Hi good afternoon! In a case of my fiance, he is a illegitimate child of a married man and a single woman. But, the father acknowledge him as his child when he was born. Few years later his mother married, and since then, he started to use the surname and name of his step father/second father. It also reflect on the birth certificate that we requested from the NSO. my fiance wanted to correct his name. But afraid that we would be spending so much for this, can we just make a late registration or how can we change it?
To legally use the surname of his step dad, he needs to undergo the process of adoption. And this needs to be done in court, with the help of a lawyer. Late registration will not solve his problem, and in fact, will further complicate it.

Good day! The problem with my birth certificate is double registry. When I was born, my parents weren’t married and named me Bambie. After 2 years i think, they got married and changed my name to Cristine. Not only until 2013 did i find out about this. I was trying to get a copy of my NSO Birth Certificate again because I am going to UAE. What they gave me is the one named Bambie since they said it’s the first BC. The last Cristine BC I got was submitted to DFA for passport application. And so, all my credentials from school, passport, employment are named Cristine.
Now I am planning to get married and I need to correct this for requirements. I’ve heard that if I cancel my first BC, it would be very expensive, but I don’t really know like how much. I’ve read about RA 9048. And there’s a petition for change of name. I wonder if I could just leave my 2nd BC as it is. And file a petiton for change of name for my first BC. Plus, I’m here in the UAE which makes it harder to check on things.
Your site is really helpful. thank you
If you have more than one record, the recourse is to have one of them cancelled. RA 9048 applies only to those who have one record.
You may call us for more details on this at 7051265/7051277. Thank you.
Hi, thank you for this very helpful site.
My father just found out that our last name is supposed to be ending in “S” and not “Z” (ex: Ibañes not Ibanez), as appeared on his NSO Birth certificate.
All of us in the family is using “Z” since birth including all the IDs we have.
Is it possible to use “Z” instead of “S” and just apply for a correction?
I am thinking that if my father used “Z”, we’ll only apply for one amendment, if he uses “S”, all of us in the family will have to file amendments.
My problem is I cannot include my parents as my dependents in SSS & Philhealth & even Insurance because of it, and I also have no plans of changing my last name.
I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.
For it to be a clerical error, your family must follow the original spelling of your dad’s family name (Ibanes). If you will insist in the Ibanez spelling, this needs to be done in court as change of surname.

Hello
What should I do on my BC? If my mother maiden’s middle initial is wrong? it was written there Erlinda Villanueva Makilan. But When I see her BC. I saw Erlinda Daliva Makilan. Ano po pwedeng gawin? please help thank you so much..
For your mother’s middle name on your BC to be corrected, you will need to present your mother’s birth certificate and other documents which reflect “Daliva” as her middle name.
Hello po, on my birth certificate po, my mothers middle name on her maiden name was mispelled. Its Sanchez but it was spelled Sanchez, how long will it take to have it changed and how much would it cost?
and also po on my parents marriage certificate, my mothers first name is Maria Carmen and i want to remove the Maria since her birth certificate, passport and NBI does not have Maria. How long will it take for it to be fix? thanks alot
I am confused with the mispelling of “Sanchez” Could you please provide more details regarding this?
With regards with “Maria”, It will be a correction of her name on your birth certificate. This can be considered as a clerical error by the civil registrar. File a petition to this effect in the civil registrar of the place where you were born.
The processing may vary but may take place within 4-6 months.

Hi! I have been using the name my first name Ma Filipina ever since, all my school records, my employment record, SSS, Philhealth and TIN numbers. However, my birth cert states that Maria Filipina is my first name, our marriage contact also bears the same since it was a requirement in applying for the marriage contract. Now I cannot get a passport because I don’t have a valid ID of Maria Filipina. If I am going to apply for the correction of first name at our LCR, what will happen to our marriage contact? And to the birth certificates of our children. We have three children. One of them indicate my name as Ma Filipina and two has Maria Filipina. Will there be conflicts/problems later? What are the possible problems? Can you advise the step by step procedure to correct this issue? And how much am i going to spend with all? Thank you!
This webpage has the complete step by step process. http://web0.psa.gov.ph/civilregistration/problems-and-solutions/first-name-used-different-first-name-entered-birth
possible problems would have an effect in the consistency of the legal documents and papers of your children.

This would involve an action through court, you would need a lawyer for this. you must be able to secure a court order indicating the presumption of your father’s death in order that the NSO would issue a death certificate for him.

Good day po! Hihingi po sana ako ng tulong sa inyo. May problema po kasi ang father ko sa birth certificate nya po. Ang ginagamit po kasi nya simula noon pa na birthdate is October 24, 1963. Late registered po kasi ang father ko. Nung kukuha po kasi sya ng birth certificate ang sinabi sa kanya ay wala raw po syang file doon sa Civil registrar at nso kaya po pinayuhan sya na magpalate registration. Binigyan naman po sya ng true copy at sinabi ng civil registrar na sila na po ang magaasikaso sa nso non kaya kampante na po siya na wala na pong problema. Noong kukuha po sya ng copy ng birth certificate nya sa nso nitong nakaraan lang po, iba na po ang birthdate na lumabas. Naging October 10, 1962. Ang sabi po yun daw po ang original nya na birth certificate. Inilapit na po namin ito sa nso. Nagbigay na po kami ng mga documents at nakapagbayad po kami sa lawyer nila ng halos 23000 na po. Ang nais lang po namin e makakuha ng birth certificate ng father ko na may 1963 na year po kasi lahat na ng documents nya ngayon pati po passport e yun na ang gamit. Maari po ba namin na ipalegalize iyong 1963 at wag na gamitin yung 1962? May kapatid po kasi ang father ko na ipinangank ng January 1964. Ang sabi po nila mahirap daw po ifix ito kasi magiging 3months na lang po ang pagitan nila. Magmamatter pa po ba itong situation sa pagpalegalize nmin ng 1963? Yun na po kasi nagagamit ng father ko eversince po. Sana po tulungan nyo ako. Pakiusap po.

Hello,
I just got married this month. I gave birth to our son last year. Do I need to update my son’s birth certificate to indicate that we got married for him to be legitimate? If so, what are the steps and requirements needed?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Yes you have to apply for legitimation so it will be reflected in your son’s birth certificate. You and your husband need to execute a joint affidavit for legitimation. And present your marriage certificate to the local civil registrar in the place where the child is born. For more details, please call us 7051265/7051277. Thanks
Greetings! Tanong ko lang po kung pwede pa po bang alisin ang last name ko sa biological daughter ko po na 1 year and 7months at yung sa mother nya nalang po ang gamitin muna kasi po meron din po ako discrepancy sa apelyido ko po na nilagay ng attending staff ng time of birth. I did sign the acknowledgement of paternity. Initially kasi gusto sana namin sa soon to be misis ko muna ang apelyido then pag kinasal na po kami o pag maayos ko na din po talaga ang apelyido ko then yun na din po ipapagamit ko sa anak ko. In my case though my birth certificate po indicated my last name as my father’s pero yung school records ko po at gov issued IDs ay sa mama ko po which we are trying to fix now. How do I remove my father’s last name or correct my gov IDs and school records to use my father’s last name instead. And to top it off my daughter is using my mother’s maiden last name. Yearning for a quick response and if you need more info please contact me via my email. Thank you and God bless.
Please reach us 7051265/7051277 or email us at info@verifiedph.com.
Very informative. Thank you very much.
Good day. I’ll be filing an application for board exam particularly LET. However, my NSO BC reflected a different father’s name; instead of NORBERTO, it appeared ROBERTO. Furthermore, the registrar of the state university which I graduated printed NORBERTO on my Transcript of Record. Can this affect my application? If yes, what can I do in 2 days before I file for application so I can still take the exam on time? Thank you much.
We cant say for sure if you will be allowed to take the exam despite the error.
Good day po, ask ko lang po, nag file po kasi ako ng supplemental sa place of birth ko, ang problema ko po ay wala po yung name ng “City and Province” sa sa birth certificate, nagbayad po ako dun ng P300, nakuha ko na po yung papers na dadalin sa NSO, tanong ko lang po, may babayaran pa po ba ko sa NSO? At kung meron, nsa magkano po kaya? Salamat po!
Ang babayaran nalang po sa NSO ay yung fee ng pagrequest ng corrected birth certificate ninyo. For more details, please call 7051265/7051277. Thanks.

You need to file a correction of your name in the local civil registrar where you were born. NSO could not do anything with the correction until after the LCR does something about it. Please present supporting documents that reflect your correct name. For more details, please call us at 7051265/7051277. Thanks.
HI Miche,
I hope you find this message well.
Upon surfing the net looking for helpful site tackling issues with regards to clerical or change name against register name in the NSO.
My name registered in NSO is IRVIN M. AMBA – I, but I never used that name instead IRVIN M. AMBA only without the roman numeral one.
All my documents registered and ids I used using the name with “- I”.
My question, where this issue fall, under clerical error? or this will be falling to changing name if i wish to use the name with “- I”.
What will be the best option to fix this issue?
TIA,
Irvin Amba
I think it will be a petition for change of first name. Best to refer this matter with the local civil registrar where you were born. For more details, please call us at 7051265/7051277. Thanks.
Hello po im very happy that i found this site and i hope you can address my questions. My brother in dubai is sponsoring my tourist visa very soon and as i am preparing for my documents for the immigration, i realized that even a single difference in the spelling with my brothers middle and last name is a big deal. My NSO birth cert shows my name with a middle name “dela Cruz” and “Zorrilla” with a double “r”. And in my mothers name “dela Cruz” is written. while my brothers NSO shows only “Cruz” as his middle name and “Zorilla” with only a single “r” in his last name and only “Cruz” as wel writtenl in the mothers name. However, we have exactly the same written Fathers name in both of our NSO birth cert. Now i am about to go to an attys office to have me issued an affidavit that says and proves me and my brother are really blood related brothers. Another option is to have my name corrected legally in the civil registry. Now my question is.. What will happen to my public records such as my passport which has been recently renewed, my school records such as diploma, tor, my prc record my license all bearing “dela Cruz” and double “r” in my last name should I go for the option 2. My plan is to leave for dubai asap like next month september 2015. If i go for legalization, how would that affect my plan of leaving next month? And do i have to do something with the rest of my records if i legalize the correction of my name? How long will it take me. And also im bringin with me my documents in hope to apply for any job i can find there.
I hope you can address my confusion. Thanks so much
At some point you will need to correct your NSO birth certificate, to reflect the correct spelling of your middle name and last name. If you do it right now, the procedure will not be completed in a months time. It usually runs for 3-4 months from filing.

Hi! I’m relieved to see this website. Finally, may makakasagot ng tanong ko.
Here’s the scenario. I already filed the Application for Correction of Clerical Error last November 2014 and I was told na naipadala na ito sa Davao City last December 2014 kasi doon ako naiparehistro ng parents ko. I’ve read in the previous comments that it takes about 4-6 months bago ito maayos. In my case, 9 months na akong naghihintay.
So my question is, is there a way for me to track the birth certificate?
Thanks. 🙂
If the civil registrar where you filed it gave you a claim stub, or any proof of filing, it is best to follow this up with them.
Another option is to request a new copy of your birth certificate from NSO. You will find out if the correction had been already entered in the database. For more details, please call 7051265/7051277. Thanks.
Good day! Your blog is very informative. I’d like to thank you for the help. I just have a question. I will be applying for my passport this October. However, only now that I realized that my parents’ name were misspelled in my birth certificate. Would that be an issue? And what should I do to correct this error and how long do you think will this correction be made? Thank you so much. Hoping for your answer.
You will need to file for a petition for correction of clerical error. I am not sure if this will be an issue for your passport application. The correction takes 3-4 months from filing before it is approved. For more details, please call 7051265/7051277. Thanks.

Here is the case:
Name: Ana
Middle name: Perez
Last name: Jose
In my birth certificate eto yung nakalagay
No name Perez
(in my firstname, literally “no name” nakalagay. Wala akong Middle name pero yung naging last name ko is “Perez” which is that would be my Middle name then my last name “Jose”, wala talaga siya) Sorry magulo talaga. Hehe!
Nung pinanganak kasi ako sa Fabella Hospital, yan yung nilagay ng Midwife sa BC ko, yung nanay ko hindi siya nakagraduate ng elementary kaya wala siyang alam sa ganyang bagay Hindi ko mawari kung yung nanay ko ang may problema o kung yung midwife kasi hindi niya inayos yung paglalagay. Haha. Just kidding. 🙂
In all my documents, I used ANA PEREZ JOSE. Kukuha na ako ng mga ID kaya kailangan ko maayos yung birth certificate ko. Could you please help me on how can I resolve this problem? Isa pa sa problema kasi, hindi kasal ang nanay at tatay ko..
Thank you in advance sa response/answer niyo po. Maraming maraming salamat. God bless po.

Good day! I just want to ask, Me and my daughter’s father are already separated we’re not married and we have 2 daughter, my eldest have my surname on her bc but my youngest daughter have a birth certificate with his father’s surname on it. She’s 2 years old now. My question is, is it possible that I register her in a different name and have my surname instead to avoid confusion with her older sister and because me and his father dont have communication anymore for two years and there is no support. Is it illegal? What will be the disadvantages. thanks

Hi, just need some help po. My mom needs to apply for passport urgently since we’re scheduled to travel on december. The problem is on her BC middle name was mispelled as it should have been Malvecino instead of Malvesino. But on her id’s like sss, tin, voters, etc. and even on her MC it’s the correct one which is Malvecino. Do you think it may cause a problem when she applies for passport? Will dfa allow her to use the correct one or will they follow what is written on nso? Coz if she’s gonna file for correction I believe it will take some time to be processed. Are there any possible options to do this urgently? Badly need your response asap. Thanks so much!

Hi, would like to ask what should I do to change my eldest son’s last name to his father’s name since we are now married. What happened is, when I gave birth year 2009 hubby wasn’t here to sign the paternity at the back and my mom instead wrote my middle name and last name. I decided to change it when we get married. Though he was able to sign’s our 2nd child’s paternity acknowledgement at the back but still not married at that time. Got married this year and would like to correct it all.
Thank you for the help.

Hello there,
I am trying to organise the Change of Name case for my Mom. I have some question about the petition case filing process, if the certificate has been released by a local registrar in Cebu, do we need to file the petition there or will it be possible for us to file the petition case in Negros Occidental since my Mom is currently residing there. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Hello,
My father used Noel as his name in all of his government issued IDs when he was still alive. Even in his death certificate, we registered Noel. But when we requested for his NSO copy as required by SSS, the registered name is Jesus. In my birth certificate, his name is Noel Abad as well. How do we go about correcting the NSO from Jesus Abad o Noel Abad?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.
You may file a petition for change of first name in the civil registrar where your father was registered. Present the documents that prove that he has used the name Noel.

Magandang gabi po. Matanong ko lang po.
Yung name ko po sa birth certificate po is correct na yun ang sinusunod ko talaga ngayon pero pagkuha ko po ng NSO, naiba na yung middle name ko po atsaka lastname po. Same na po sa mama ko po. Para na kaming magkapatid nito.
Tsaka, yong sa dalawaa ko pong kapatid after me, tama po sa kanila.
Ano po ang gagawin ko dito? tsaka ano po yong proseso? matagal ba? G
Kapag apelyido po ang problema, kadalasan sa korte po ito dapat ifile.

Good day po. Nag-apply po ako ng passport, unfortunately di po nila tinanggap yung PSA BC ko, nakita po nila na yung local BC ko blanko yung place of birth ko, pero ang pinagtataka ko po sa PSA BC ko meron nakalagay pero handwritten na name lang ng hospital wala yung city & province. Ang sabi po sa akin ng mother ko, baka daw po nung pinaregister ako isinulat na lang yung place of birth ko kaya magrerequest kami ng birth certificate sa munisipyo kng san ako pinaregister . Acceptable na po ba kaya yun kapag nakakuha kami at napakita ko sa DFA na may place of birth ang birth certificate ko kahit handwritten? Or need ko ipacorrect yung birth certificate na meron ako?

Hi po, i would like to ask po if you do have any idea about the procedure on changing the letters on marriage certificate. I am married to a Hungarian national, and their alphabet is not the same like we use here in Philippines. My husband’s name is Zoltán Váradi-Dankó but what was written on our marriage certificate is Zoltan Varadi-Danko, they don’t type the special character that was written on my husband’s documents. Is there any way that they can correct it? Kasi the embassy says it’s a different person, dapat daw kung ano yung nakalagay sa registration ng marriage license namin yun daw dapat masusunod, as far as i know naman po here in Philippines we only use Roman alphabet. Please help me po regarding this, my husband wants me to visit him on November…
Please inquire with the civil register kung saan kayo kinasal kung anong magandang gawin tungkol dito. You can also call our office (+632)7051265/7051277 for details

Hi! I have a problem with my birth certificate. It was only recently that we found out that my mother and I share the same middle name on my birth certificate. My parents are not married so I’m not supposed to have a middle name. But I have her middle name as my middle name and of course, we have the same surname which make it seem like we’re siblings. How can we correct this? I really need your help, please. I am scheduled to go to Singapore or South Korea next year for my tour (I’m a junior at college) so I can’t apply for a passport unless I have my middle name removed. Thank you in advance!

Hi – my mom have problem in the birth certificate. She’s using Leonora on all of her documents, she thought that her birth certificate was gone due to fire and what is on her hand is Affidavit that she was Leonora and Birth year is 1950. But then there was time that she needs to have a copy the birth certificate and went to NSO and she has no record as Leonora on 1950. Then she remember to check if there is Caridad in the NSO using her father and mother’s name then she got a copy. So the name appeared is Caridad and was born on 1949. What can we do about this situation?

Hi,
I recently encountered an issue recently when I submitted a HDMF (Pag-Ibig) Loan application. To cut the story short, my employer entered my name extension after my last name which was also submitted to Pag-Ibig. Prior to this, my current employer asked to submit an “affidavit of same person” because on my other government records, my name extension (Jr) was after my First Name which is different based on my Birth Certificate. Does it fall under the Change of First Name Category? Thank you in Advance!
Yes it will fall under Change of First Name.
Greetings….
Mula sa pag-aaral hanggang mag-asawa at magka anak po ako ang gamit kong first name is NERISSA. Lumitaw sa NSO birth certificate ko po ar NERISA. Is this a clerical error? Pumunta po ako sa munisipyo where ako pinanganak ang sabi sa akin ay change of name at pinababayad po ako ng 7,000. Tama po ba sinabi sa akin sa munisipyo? pati yung sinisingil po sa akin? meron po ba publication kapag clerical error?
Yes tama naman po. Pwedeng umabot po nang ganon ang gastusin.

Hi! Good afternoon! This is May from Lapu-Lapu City! I’m already feeling hopeless about my case. In my NSO: it’s just Middle Initial not the full and complete middle name. I already have a passport but when I applied in a recruitment agency here in Cebu (cos Im planning to work abroad) they advised me to process my clerical error first. When I went to the Local Civil Registrar, the Department Head or maybe the one in-charge of it has already retired.That was last May,2016. The OIC told me that they are not accepting any applications for the clerical error and that we should just wait for the replacement of the new Dept.Head or new officer. I went to the Local Civil Registrar today (January 6,2017) and until now it is still bad news. I cant process my clerical error yet. Please help me with my problem. I think the other option I have is to process it thru a lawyer but I am afraid that it is very costly. I need your advises. Thanks in advance.
If there is still no civil registrar, the correction needs to be done in court. Call us at 027051265/027051277 to set up a consultation. That way, we can address your concerns. Thank you.

HI
I just want to ask, my father is about to renew his passport this month. The passport from 5years ago, his birth date used, which was the original birthday, was January 9. But when I requested a copy from NSO, his birthdate was January 10. All of his valid IDs and documents has January 9 as his birthdate. As advised by DFA, he must use the birthdate shown on his NSO copy.
How do we go about this? Can we just stick to the January10 NSO copy and change all of his valid IDs into January 10? Or file a case to change the birth date?
Which do you recommend to do as he needs to renew his passport because we have an out of the country tour soon.
Thanks
Both options will take time. But I would go for the NSO option.

Hello Michelle! Problem ko yong first name ng mother ko sa aking BC ang nakalagay ay “Nenita” kaso ang ginagamit niya ay Juanita. May epekto ba ito kung sakali na mag-pa-file ako for US Visa? Maari pa ba itong ayusin sa local civil registrar or munisipyo?
At kung sakali man ano ba ang dapat ko na gawin? May mga dapat ba akong gastusin na dapat paghandaan na related diyan kung sakali? Sana ay masagot mo ang aking mga tanong.

also same din po sa apelyido ng tatay ko sa birth cert.po nila paano po kaya maaayos yun?
Magtatanong lang po sana ako.. Kasi po yung sa Birth Certificate ko yung Middle name ko po ay Mirador na dapat sana ay Melanio po. Bali ang labas po non ang naging middle name ko ay middle name rin po ng nanay ko which is wrong po. Sa ngayon po ay nag asawa na po ako sa Marriage certificate ko ang ginamit ko po ay yung Mirador kasi yun po yung nasa BC ko. Ganon din po nong magka anak po kami ang ginamit din po na middle name Sakin ay Mirador.
Bali ang concern ko po ay ganito, pano po ba ang process para po maayos o mapalitan ko po at maitama ko po yung middle name ko. San po ba ako pwedeng pumunta at magkano po kaya ang halaga na aking babayaran? At idadagdag ko na rin po wala na rin po akong record sa local register o sa munisipyo po namin gawa po ng nasunog po ito.
Sana po masagot nyo po ang aking katanungan .
Salamat po ng marami.

Hi Michelle,, This topics really shedding lights from all the trouble that we have right now…My case is about my In Laws that started using her non real birth name since grade school..She knows nothing about trouble in the future for doing it…move along ..many years past.. then She got married and using not her real birth name.. (of course..no one cares)..All her children used her Name as registered in the Birth Certificate.. Everyone of them went abroad and settled abroad. Then we filed sponsorship for them to come over .. everything went ok..until the immigration officer dissatisfied the supporting documents even with the affidavit by a Notary Public and witnesses.
Reading this article gives back our hope.
My question is how long it will takes after submitting all the necessary documents?
Thanks ..
Victor

Hi! My name is Liezel Loterte, I am currently using my mother’s surname since hindi po sila kasal ng papa ko noong pinanganak ako and naghiwalay po sila kaya iyong surname ng mom ko po ang ginagamit ko. Ang mali lang sa BC ko is Nakalagay LIEZEL LOTERTE LOTERTE, Need ko lang po iremove iyong middle name. Need ko for PASSPORT.
Pano po iyong process? Thanks

Hi po,
question Mam, medyo confused lang po and need ko tamang pag file sa birth certificate ng baby ko. I’m planning to give birth with my second baby this coming Oct 2017. I’m married but now separated with my husband. My husband is not the father of my second baby. Would it be possible kung Maiden Name ko lang ang ilagay ko sa BC ni baby? do I need to put the date of my marriage pa? (but not yet legally separated/annulled). thanks in advance po. God bless
This is tricky. The correct way of registering the child is to register the date of marriage to your husband, and him as the father. This is presumed when husband and wife are still married.

Good morning! tanong ko lang po kung ano yung mga required documents kapag ipapaayos yung Nationality ng mother sa BC nakalagay po kasi is US citizen, dapat po is Filipino-US since dual po thank you!

Hi. Matanong ko lang po. What if ang mother’s name Marie ang nakalagay pero dapat Ma. Ano po process para palitan or kelangan pa ba palitan? Pwede bang affidavit of 2 disinterested persons stating the 2 names are the same person? Thanks!
