It has been said that without the legal proof of identity, children will be left uncounted and invisible.
In the Philippines, having a PSA (NSO) Birth Certificate is a critical step missing to establish a child’s legal proof of identity. It is required by most government services in the country. A proof of existence so to speak.
Whether you’re enrolling for some units in school, working on your bank requirements, applying for a job, a PSA is one of the primary identification documents. With its importance, it is vital for you to have one, handy.
