There are two things that can go wrong when typing your middle name in your birth certificate:
- It could be misspelled or
- Your middle and last names may be interchanged so that your last name becomes your middle name and your middle name becomes your last name.
Incorrect entries in the middle name field in your birth certificate could cause problems and delays in your transactions. Do not wait until the last minute until you have this corrected. Here’s how:
- Misspelled Middle Name
- File a Petition for Correction of Clerical Error under the provisions of Republic Act 9048
- You may file this at the Local Civil Registry (LCR) office of the city or municipality where the birth was registered (birthplace of the owner of the certificate).
- If the petitioner is already residing in a different place (within the Philippines), he may file the petition at the LCR of the city or municipality of her current address.
- If the petitioner was born abroad, he may file the petition at the Philippine Consulate where his birth was reported.
- Middle and Last Names were Interchanged
- This is considered an error in encoding and can likewise be corrected by filing a Petition for Correction of Clerical Error under the provisions of RA 9048.
- You may file this at the Local Civil Registry (LCR) office of the city or municipality where the birth was registered (birthplace of the owner of the certificate).
- If the petitioner is already residing in a different place (within the Philippines), he may file the petition at the LCR of the city or municipality of her current address.
- If the petitioner was born abroad, he may file the petition at the Philippine Consulate where his birth was reported.
- Supporting Documents for Interchanged Middle and Last Names
- Certified machine copy of the birth record containing the entry to be corrected;
- Not less than two private or public documents upon which the correction shall be based like baptismal certificate, voters’ affidavit, employment record, GSIS/SSS record, medical record, business record, drivers’ license, insurance, land titles, certificate of land transfer, bank passbook, NBI/Police Clearance, civil registry records of ascendants;
- Notice/Certificate of Posting;
- Payment of One Thousand Pesos (Php 1,000.00) as filing fee. For petitions filed abroad, a fee of USD 50.00 or equivalent value in local currency shall be collected;
- Other documents which may be required by the concerned civil registrar.

Please inquire at the LCR and ask if this can be corrected. However, there is a big possibility that you may be required to hire the services of a lawyer as the correction involves a middle name.

This means that your birth was registered twice.
And you were registered twice because your first birth certificate (the one with the incorrect name and middle name) had errors in it.
Your parents or guardians created another birth registration for you to cover up the errors on your first birth registration.
Before the NSO was PSA, people like you who have double birth registrations are still able to get copies of their “second registration” or “correct versions of their birth certificates”.
But when NSO became PSA, they reviewed all birth registrations and froze double-registered birth certificates (such as your birth certificate). That is why you could no longer get the “corrected copy” of your birth certificate.
To get a correct copy of your PSA birth certificate, you need to have your name and middle name corrected through the correct process (inquire at your LCR).
Hello ,

I don’t think the city halls process corrections on birth certificates online. What corrections, exactly, do you need? Was the middle name misspelled? Is it missing?
