What to do when you failed to register the birth of your child.

This is one of the most common questions that I am asked in our radio show Batas ng Bayan.

Do no fret you just need to:

1. Request at the NSO for a negative result - an authenticated document which shows that the child was has no birth records.

2. Request two people to execute a joint affidavit of two disinterested person stating that you as parents failed to registered the birth of your child as well as the name of the parents and the date and place of birth.

3. Ask the Local Registrar to record the birth of your child. (Late Registration)

4. Check with the NSO if the records are already available after two or three months. :)
