Nso Matters, Dfa Matters, Citizenship, Travel, Passports Etc

[jombratero]

Hi, I've got a friend who has a similar case like this, she is 17 yrs old and used her Mothers surname in her birth certificate since her parents were not married. However, in her school records, she used her fathers surname because she lived with her father. Now she wants to correct her birth certificate in order to have her school records and birth certificate to be the same. Now, she wants to use her father's surname.

 

Question:

1) Is it possible for her to be the one to process it because her mother is in the province and wont be able to come to Manila. Her father won't be able to accompany her too, because of illness.

2) What does she need to do?

 

 

iligal ang "late registration" kung rehistrado na ang bata. isang beses lang dapat ma-rehistro ang isang tao. ito ay magiging falsification of public documents.

 

MAARI NA PO NGAYONG GAMITIN NG ISANG ANAK SA LABAS ANG APELYIDO NG KANYANG AMA (RA No. 9255) - HINDI NYO NA KAILANGANG MAGPA-LATE REGISTRATION PARA MAILIPAT ANG APELYIDO DUN SA AMA!!!

 

Pumunta kayo (parehong magulang, magdala ng patunay sa inyong pagkakakilanlan, i.e. magdala ng ID) sa Civil Registrar kung saan naka-rehistro ang bata. Ikwento nyo ang gusto nyong mangyari dun at magtanong kung ano ang kailangang gawin para mailipat na sa apelyido ng ama yung bata (actually, pagagawin lang yung ama ng Affidavit to Use Surname of the Father, tapos ibibigay ito sa Civil Registrar, kasama amg kaukulang kabayaran - wala nang libre ngayon).

Requirements to migrating to another country is highly specific. Each country has it's own criteria for you to qualify as a migrant to said country. You should be more clear at least to what your basis for migration is, be it family-based, work, talent, investment or if you are a derivative beneficiary and which country you are planning to migrate to.

thanks for replying... i plan to migrate to the US & have already sent the application & what i thought was already a complete set of requirements but i was sent a letter containing this:

 

A gap exists in your residence history of more than six months. When completing the

information in this section, please refer to the following instructions below on Police

Certificate(s):

*Police certificates are required for each visa applicant aged 16 years or older, based on

where each applicant lives or has lived previously.

*Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided

more than 12 months. Present and former residents of the United States should NOT obtain

any police certificates covering their residence in the U.S.

*Generally, applications for police certificates should be made directly to the police authorities

in the district in which you resided. The police certificate must:

*Cover the entire period of the applicant's residence in that area, and

*State what the appropriate police authorities records show concerning each applicant,

including all arrests, the reason for the arrest(s), and the disposition of each case of which

there is a record.

 

i did get a police clearance & specifically requested for one that will be used for migrating to the US... i am also confused about that supposed gap in my residence history & they didn't exactly make clear as to what part though... and when they say US consular office procesing my application, do they mean the US embassy here?

That gap in residence history means that what you submitted has a more than 6 month period which is unaccounted for. For example, maybe you put May, 1980 to May, 1986, Manila; Dec, 1986 to the present, Cebu City. They want a complete list of your places of residences and each period you were a resident of said district must be covered by a police certification clearing you of any offense that would be a ground of inadmisssibility/exclusion like being a drug abuser or drug addict, conviction/admission of a crime involving moral turpitude that is not a purely political offense and other grounds. Technically speaking, the consular office is the one in charge of visitor and immigration applications even though the place where non-Americans apply for visas is more often referred to as the US embassy. Or maybe it's your police clearances which has a gap, for example, maybe there is a certain period of your previous places of residence which is not covered by the police clearances you submitted.

Police clearances in the Philippines is district specific. (This is in addition to the NBI Clearance, kaya lang at least sa NBI nationwide na yon, so isang puntahan lang.)

 

So for example in my case when I did my immigration visa application, I got police clearances in my town in Bulacan, QC and my town in Rizal. Tig-iisa, kasi tumira ako don. Hassle pero kailangan.

[rocco69]

If you are a foreigner who was not born here in the Phils., you apply with the RTC. You need a lawyer.

 

If you are a foreigner born here in the Phils., and living here since birth, you apply with the Special Committee on Naturalization (the Committee is located at the Office of the Solicitor General in Makati). You probably should also get a lawyer for this.

Must have resided in the Philippines for a continuous period of not less than ten years;

Must own real estate in the Philippines worth not less than five thousand pesos, Philippine currency, or must have some known lucrative trade, profession, or lawful occupation;

 

Must be able to speak and write English or Spanish and any one of the principal Philippine languages; and

For administrative naturalization with the Special Committee:

 

Must be born in the Philippines and residing therein since birth;

 

Must not be less than eighteen (18) years of age, at the time of filing of his/her petition;

 

Must be of good moral character and believes in the underlying principles of the Constitution, and must have conducted himself/herself in a proper and irreproachable manner during his/her entire period of residence in the Philippines in his relation with the duly constituted government as well as with the community in which he/she is living;

 

Must have received his/her primary and secondary education in any public or private educational institution duly recognized by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports, where Philippine history, government and civics are taught and prescribed as part of the school curriculum and where enrollment is not limited to any race or nationality: Provided, that should he/she have minor children of school age, he/she must have enrolled them in similar schools;

 

Must have a known trade, business, profession or lawful occupation, from which he/she derives income sufficient for his/her support and if he/she is married and/or has dependents, also that of his/her family: Provided, however, That this shall not apply to applicants who are college degree holders but are unable to practice their profession because they are disqualified to do so by reason of their citizenship;

 

Must be able to read, write and speak Filipino or any of the dialects of the Philippines; and

 

Must have mingled with the Filipinos and evinced desire to learn and embrace the customs, traditions and ideals of the Filipino people.

Those convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude;

Those who, during the period of their residence in the Philippines, have not mingled socially with the Filipinos, or who have not evinced a sincere desire to learn and embrace the customs, traditions and ideals of the Filipinos;

 

Citizens or subjects of a foreign country whose laws do not grant Filipinos the right to be naturalized citizens or subject thereof.

sir rocco69

 

Will NSO main have a copy of the new birth cert when she applies for an authenticated one?

if so, how will she apply for a passport renewal (of which the previous passport still using mother's surname) ?

Pumunta kayo (parehong magulang, magdala ng patunay sa inyong pagkakakilanlan, i.e. magdala ng ID) sa Civil Registrar kung saan naka-rehistro ang bata. Ikwento nyo ang gusto nyong mangyari dun at magtanong kung ano ang kailangang gawin para mailipat na sa apelyido ng ama yung bata (actually, pagagawin lang yung ama ng Affidavit to Use Surname of the Father, tapos ibibigay ito sa Civil Registrar, kasama amg kaukulang kabayaran - wala nang libre ngayon).

[rocco69]

The NSO does not change the birth certificate. After being informed by the Local Civil Registrar that the child will now be using the surname of the father, when you apply for an authenticated copy with the NSO, the NSO photocopies the original birth certificate it has on file, then adds a notation at the side of the certified true copy saying that the surname of the child is now that of the father. To repeat, no changes are made to the original, only notations are added to the certified true copy.

 

you apply for passport renewal by submitting the "new" birth certificate to the DFA together with the other documentary requirements. bahala na ang DFA dun.
