Documents needed for your application

Can I get a birth certificate registered in another province?
No. The Isabela Civil Registrar only has records for births registered in Isabela. For other municipalities, request from that province's Civil Registrar or from PSA.
What if I don't know the exact date of birth?
Provide an approximate year and month. The staff will help search the records, but this may take longer.
Can I request through email or online?
Currently, requests must be made in person. Online services are being planned for the future.
What's the difference between local copy and PSA copy?
Both are certified true copies. PSA copies are nationally-recognized and required for passport/visa applications. Local copies are accepted for most local transactions and school enrollment.
