PSASerbilis is an online portal where you can order a birth certificate and have it delivered to the Philippines or anywhere in the world. Here’s how to obtain your birth certificate through this website:

1. Access the PSASerbilis website

https://910671b1ecbcc603f2af405e91ca15dd.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.htmlOn the homepage, click the button that says Click here to request now.

Accept terms and conditions and go to the next page.

2. Enter the requested information in the Contact and Delivery Information form

These include the following:

• Requester’s Name (Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial);
• Delivery Address (You can choose to send the birth certificate either to a specific address in the Philippines or anywhere in the world. There’s also an option to send the requested document to a foreign embassy in Manila);
• Telephone/Mobile Number;
• Email address; and
• Tax Identification Number (optional).

When done, click Next. A box will then appear on the screen asking you to confirm whether the information you’ve just provided is correct. If you’re sure about their accuracy, click Confirm.

3. Select Birth Certificate to start making a request

On the next page, you will be asked two questions regarding your birth certificate. Respond with a Yes or No and click Next.

4. Fill out the online application form

Enter all the requested information accurately. Failure to provide the correct information will result in negative results.

Things to remember:

*If you’re a married woman, only use your maiden name.
*When writing names, please don’t use characters other than letters, numbers, hyphens, single quotes, and Ñ.
*If you have a name suffix like “Jr,” “Sr,” or “III,” put it in the First Name field. Don’t put a period after the name suffix or else you’ll encounter an error.
*For those with surnames starting with “De,” “De La,” “Del,” or “De Los,” enter these in the Last Name field. Only use “De La” or “De Los” (with space) instead of “Dela” or “Delos.”
*If you’re requesting a birth certificate for another person, indicate at the last part your relationship with him/her. To claim the document, representatives need to present their valid IDs as well as ID and authorization letter of the birth certificate owner, except if you’re one of the following: The owner of the birth certificate, his/her parent, his/her spouse, his/her direct descendant, or his/her legal guardian or institution-in-charge, if minor.

Once done, click “Save.”

A box will then appear asking you to confirm the accuracy of the information you’ve just provided. Double-check every detail. If you’re sure all are correct, click Confirm.

5. If you’re requesting another civil registry document or another birth certificate, add another request by clicking the appropriate button

Otherwise, click the Submit button.

6. Print the acknowledgment page and pay the birth certificate fee either over the counter in designated banks or via online payment channels

If you prefer to pay over the counter, you need to print two copies of the Acknowledgment page–one for you and another copy for the bank where you’ll make the payment. A copy of this page will also be sent to your email.

As of this writing, birth certificates that are processed online have the following fees:

• Delivery within the Philippines: Php 330 per copy
• Delivery to other countries: USD 20.30 per copy

The above fees are inclusive of processing, delivery, and government taxes.

Payments can be done through the following:

• Other cities/provinces in the Philippines: 4-9 working days after payment.
• Other countries: 6-8 weeks after payment.

If you want to expedite the process and get the birth certificate delivered within 1 to 2 days after payment, I suggest the following:
