In the Philippines as in most countries, the local registrar manage records of births and issue a birth certificate shortly after delivery, after the mother's physician files the required forms to the appropriate government agency. The official birth certificate is stored at the local registrar while records are archived at the National Statistics Office also known as the NSO. The following information must be provided to expedite the verification and issuance o birth certification from the NSO:

• Name of the person
• Name of the father and mother (maiden name for the mother)
• Date of birth
• Place of birth (city/municipality, province)
• Whether or not registered late. (If registered late, please state the year when it was registered.
• Name and address of the requesting party
• Relationship to the child
• Number of copies needed
• Purpose of the certification

You can get a copy of a birth certificate directly from the NSO, and processing requests for locals and foreigners can take anywhere from 5 days to 8 weeks depending on the type of request and whether you are getting it yourself or having it delivered.
