The birth certificate is widely accepted as a proof of identification during job hunts, other ID applications, and more. Gone are the days of long queues and errands days just to obtain a copy—application can be done online, with the document delivered straight to your doorstep a few days later.

One copy of the birth certificate via the PSA Helpline website is P365. You can order multiple copies in one order. Payments for the document can be made online through GCash, PayMaya, and credit card. Over the counter channels such as 7-Eleven, BancNet, and DragonPay are also accepted.

Shipping can take three to four working days in Metro Manila and seven to eight working days for provincial orders.
