1. Reporting Births of Children
of Filipino Citizens |
|
|
|
The Report of
Birth is a declaration of the person furnishing information
on the birth abroad of a Filipino child. It is important for
Filipinos permanently residing abroad to promptly register
with the Embassy the birth of a child in order for such a
birth to be registered with the Office of the Civil
Registrar General in Manila. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a child is
born abroad to parents who are both Filipino citizens or to
one (1) parent who is a Filipino citizen, i.e. one who has
not been naturalized as a citizen of a foreign country, the
child's birth must be immediately reported to the Philippine
Embassy which exercises jurisdiction over the place of
birth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ideally, the
birth must be reported to the Embassy within twelve (12)
months after its occurrence. When the parents neglect to
report the birth within twelve (12), the birth may,
nevertheless be recorded upon the determination of the
consular officer of satisfactory evidence on the
authenticity of the report. In these cases, the person who
executed the report shall furnish the Embassy with an
explanation surrounding the delay in reporting the birth. |
