Our mom is not married by the time of birth, may we know what requirements can be a replacement for the marriage certificate and Affidavit of Admission of Paternity (AAP) and the Affidavit to Use the Surname of the Father? We really appreciate helpful anwers po thank you.
Hello! Both of my parents were born in the Philippines but my mother is a naturalized US citizen while my father is still a Filipino citizen. Do I need to send my mother’s US passport as well to be approved? Thank you!
Hi! I’m in the exact situation. However, my father didn’t renew his Philippine passport. Will his data page still be accepted? And on another note, can one copy be notarized, and then that notarized copy be photocopied 3x? Am I understanding that correctly?
@mariadelavictoria3984 need to get Philippine passport. I was in the PI for 3 months and ROB wasn't accepted at immigration either, only gave me 30 days and I got extension. During that time I got my PI passport there. Immigration at the airport said when I come back, use PI Passport for entry and depart. On US soil, show US Passport.
Hi I’m a uk citizen from birth my mother is Filipino and was a Filipino citizen at the time of my birth and got her naturalisation to become British citizen after my birth. Father is British from birth. I’m over 18years old trying to report my birth . My parents were married but now divorced and I don’t have contact with father since divorce do I need both parents passports to register my birth or just Filipino parent (mother)?
Hello! Since you are over 18 y/o, you shouldn't need both parents' passports anymore, just your Filipino parent's (mother) Philippine passport if that's what you will be using as proof of your mother's Filipino citizenship.
Hi Lia! I was born in the US and also my birth was reported to the Philippines so I am a dual citizen by birth. However upon entry to the Philippines, my PSA Copy Report of Birth did not qualify as a dual citizenship document and my visa was only for 30 days instead of unlimited time. They asked if I have a Philippine passport or a certificate of dual which I do not have just only report of birth. Do i need to apply for dual citizenship through immigration in the Philippijnes or United States Consulate in order to take the oath and receive a formal certificate? What should be done in my case so I will be able to get longer stay? Right now, as US national maximum visa stay is 30 days and I had to apply for a visa extension since I will be here for 3 months. I thought as dual citizen we can stay unlimited time.
@dsmdriver2588 I found our answer on the Philippine embassy DC website. 4. IS IT MANDATORY TO APPLY FOR A PHILIPPINE PASSPORT AFTER THE REPORT OF BIRTH IS COMPLETED? It is not mandatory to apply for a Philippine passport after completing the Report of Birth process. However, whenever traveling to the Philippines, especially if staying for an extended period and/or dealing with various public and private establishments such as the Philippine Bureau of Immigration, schools, banks, and real estate entities where proof of Philippine citizenship is required, possession of a Philippine passport, in addition to an approved ROB, facilitates transactions.
Was just at the Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles. The Consul swore in 10 people who just got their dual citizenship. They told that group to apply for a Philippine passport because the ROB will only get you a 1 year visa free stay in the Philippines.

Hello! My father was a Filipino citizen (as well as my mom) when I was born (in the US) but he is deceased and I don't have access to his passport as well as his marriage certificate to my mom. Can I still get my dual citizenship?

Hello po pano po mag apply yung anak ko po pinanganak sa Japan Ngayon po nasa America na Kami 2 yrs old napo sya at American citizen po . NASA California po Kami .
Hello! Since nasa California na kayo ngayon, pwede niyo muna itry sa SF consulate (civil@pcgsanfrancisco.org) or LA consulate (registry.pcgenla@gmail.com), depending kung sa NorCal or SoCal kayo nakatira, if they are able to accept your child's application for report of birth; otherwise, you may need to apply through the embassy/consulate sa Japan kasi that's where the birth took place 🙏
Hi. I’m a US citizen, my mom is Filipina. My mom was naturalized after I was born and looking into doing my report of birth. I wanted to ask if you would know under child’s middle name .. do I have to put my moms maiden name? My middle name isn’t my mom’s maiden name. Thank you for your time!
Hello! For your middle name, you may list your real/legal middle name; doesn't need to be your mom's maiden name, if that's not your actual middle name
Thank you! Another question. After applying and receiving the documents back from doing the ROB (given all is ok)..can I apply for the passport or would I need the PSA copy?

Is this all done by mail or do we need to physically go to the Philippine embassy?
Hello, the Report of Birth can be done by mail and sent to the Philippine Embassy/Consulate closest to where the birth took place
Email the Consulate responsible for your birth area. Requirements are different for walk-in and via mail
Hi I can't locate th example cover letter you were offering I'm the links.
Hello! Both of my parents were born in the Philippines but my mother is a naturalized US citizen while my father is still a Filipino citizen. Do I need to send my mother’s US passport as well to be approved? Thank you!
Hi, Bryan! Yes, you will also need to include a copy of your mom's U.S. passport (just the biographic data page with her picture)
@@theimmigrantlawyer Thank you for getting back to me! Just to clarify, does that mean I need to include the original copy?
Hi! I’m in the exact situation. However, my father didn’t renew his Philippine passport. Will his data page still be accepted? And on another note, can one copy be notarized, and then that notarized copy be photocopied 3x? Am I understanding that correctly?
How come the report of birth paperwork of my daughter was not accepted by the immigration officer in Manila and also i Philippine Airline?

If your son is under 18 years of age, your wife should apply for her dual and list your son as a derivative. After the age of 18, all is lost.
