***On January 9, 2020 the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and Teleserv have put up announcements regarding the termination of their partnership in providing civil registry documents. All requests for documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, and CENOMAR will be received and processed by PSA through their PSA Serbilis website.
What’s the difference between PSA and NSO birth certificate?
Nothing major on the details of the birth certificate, except the logo at the top left corner. The change in the logo is due to the merger that happened to some government institutions that are now all governed by the Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA).
