Notarize an Affidavit for Delayed Registration of Birth Online
Registering a birth years after the fact requires a sworn affidavit explaining the delay, usually supported by an affidavit of two disinterested persons. Adults discovering they were never registered need these documents before they can get a PhilID, passport, or SSS coverage.
Often needed far from home
The person registering often lives far from their birthplace's civil registrar. Swear the affidavits online, then transmit the notarized PDFs to the registrar, cutting one long trip out of an already long process.
What you need
- The delayed registration affidavit in PDF
- Your valid government-issued ID or other identity evidence
- Companion affidavit of two disinterested persons, sworn in the same session if desired
