With the boom of technology and social media, government agencies use this to their advantage. In addition, it has a good impact on people by making some transactions more efficient and fast.
A birth certificate is widely used and needed for transactions. You need it when applying for government Identification cards, driver’s licenses, some bank transactions, school enrollment, and even for getting a job. That is why it is equally important to have it with you all the time.
If you are still planning to get a PSA Birth Certificate, you can request one with just the use of the internet. I will be sharing with you the steps on how to get it online.
There are two official websites where you can visit. The psaserbilis.com.ph by Unisys and the nsohelpline.ph by Pilipinas Teleserv. You can choose either of these two websites to apply for your PSA certificate.
