If the place of birth written on your birth certificate is not the same as the one written on your passport or any other document that you use as an identification, you might encounter problems with your transactions as this is a vital ID information.
Here are the steps you need to follow when filing for correction of your place of birth under RA 9048:
What You Need To Bring:
(a). 2 latest certified LCR copies and 2 latest PSA (formerly NSO) copies of birth certificate to be corrected.
(b). 2 latest certified copies of certification from the hospital indicating the exact hospital address. IF the hospital or clinic where the birth certificate owner was born is no longer in existence, the petitioner needs to submit a certification from the Barangay stating that the said hospital or clinic was formerly established in the area and is now no longer in operation.
(c). 2 copies of baptismal certificate.
(d). 2 copies of school records, Elementary and High School, either Form 137/138 or Certificate or College Transcript of Records (TOR).
(e). 2 Certified copies of Voter’s Registration record/voters’ affidavit (COMELEC).
(f). 2 copies of valid ID of the petitioner and the document owner and 1 copy of latest community tax certificate from the place of work or residence.
(g). SPA (Special Power or Attorney). If the petitioner is abroad, or sick, he/she can be represented by a lawyer or his/her nearest relative (up to third degree of consanguinity).
Reminders:
- All civil documents from the PSA (Birth, Marriage, and Death) to be submitted should be the latest certified local copy or on Security Paper from the PSA.
- After the compliance of the requirements, please proceed to the information counter. Only applicants with complete requirements will be allowed to proceed to pre-interview.
- Processing of the petition is four (4) months and will commence on the date the petition is received by the Manila City Hall.
- Payments are as follows:
- Registration Fee – P1,000
- Certified Xerox Copy – P230
- Transmittal Fee – P210
- Additional Payment for documents with supplemental – P30
Please be advised that the city hall does not conduct interviews during Fridays.

Pagka po ba nagpacorrect sa firstname sa birthcertificate ikaw po ba mismo sa sarili mo magpapaLBC para dalin sa psa. At ikaw po ba mismo magluluwas sa manila nito
Hi Mary Jay,
Ang correction ng entries sa birth certificate ay dapat sa LCR ng birthplace ifa-file. Ibig sabihin, doon ka mismo sa munisipyo makikipag transact. At mas mabuti na ang may ari ng birth certificate for correction ang siyang mag file nito personally. Kung hindi ka naman available, pwedeng ang iyong spouse, mga anak na legal age, ang iyong mga magulang, o mga kapatid.

Opo sa munisipyo po ako nagfile nagbayad po ako ng 1k. Tapos pinababalik po ako sa june 3 para ipaLBC daw po yung mga papers ko for filing then akomdin daw po magluluwas sa manila.
Mgkno po b ang bayad mali ng isang letra ang apelido q at ang pangalan q kulang ng isang letter
Hi Michelle,
It really depends on the city or municipal hall, pati na mga procedures na kailangang gawin para ma-correct ang entries sa birth certificate.
Just make sure na sa staff at personnel ng munisipyo ka lang makipag usap, never sa fixers. And all your payments must be issued with a government receipt, paid at the municipal cashier only.

Is baptismal certificate a must in the requirements to change birth of place in the birth certificate?
We are not Roman Catholic that’s why there’s no baptismal.
Hope you could answer.
Thanks in advance.
You can ask for an alternate document. By the way does your church dont have any certificate ?
Kung sa manila po pinanganak tapos ngayon nandito na kami sa cebu nag reside, pwedi po bang sa cebu NSO e process ?
Hindi eh sa Manila mo dapat gawin ang correction. Pwede mo i inquire kung pwedeng sa kanila na padaanin yung correction at sila na yung makipag coordinate sa LCR Manila.
Bkit pa kailangan ng psa ehh meron nmm birth cert galing sa cityhall ganun din nmn nkalagay dun at bkit tagal ng process nio 4 monts grabe tagal d nio ba maasikaso
Nasa iyo naman yan kung gusto mo maayos yung dokumento mo sumunod ka sa proseso.

Hi Daisie,
Are you referring to the birth certificate issued in Japan?

if I applied for a First name change for employment purposes…. surely di ko kayang hintayin ang 4 months…. meron bang binibigay na some kind of receipt or note saying na the change has been submitted and is still being processed.
Kung sa receipt meron silang ibibigay sa iyo kasi magbabayad ka ng filing fee eh. Ang di lang natin alam is kung enough na yun para i accept ng pag a aplayan mo?
Maayos paba b-certificate ko?ang problem kc is gender, spelling at petsa ng kapanganakan ko.
Pwede pa naman. Yung petsa ba damay yung year?
