Birth Certificate Help

[Nik.R.Sanderson 1]

So I got my NOA2 and still waiting for my NVC letter.

I am a Euro-Asian and only obtained my Filipino status in 2002

for the Manila consulate they ask for the local BC.

Again, I was born in Dubai, then registered under the United kingdom BC registry. So i have a funky international Birth Certif...

Do I still require a localized birth certificate?

Tried calling the consulate. -talking to an actual human seems IMPOSSIBLE!

Help!

I am guessing that they need the BC of the parent that is filipino...I dont know that you will get a BC from the PI since you already have one from the UK...although, shouldnt you have one from Dubai if that is where you were born? Sounds like a complicated mess. You are the first person I have read about something like this .

Okay. in a nutshell my mother became a British citizen before I was born, thus making me legally 100% British.

No Arabic BC cause i was registered under the UK Registry.

this is so confusing. I'm not sure what to do! I wish there was some way that I could actually talk to someone in the consulate!

Well, I know there is a way to report your birth abroad since your mom is filipina right? What is your ultimate goal here? to get a philippine passport?

check this link out (keep in mind this is for someone that is in the US, but there has to be a way to do it if you are in the PI now):

2.One (1) original or certified true copy and four (4) photocopy of Birth Certificate

4.One (1) original/certified true copy and four (4) photocopies of Proof of Philippine Citizenship of either parent at time of birth of the child such as the data page of his/her Philippine Passport and if applicable, photocopies of his/her alien registration card. If only one parent is a Filipino at the time of child's birth, the non-Filipino parent submits photocopies of government-issued identification card or passport.

5.If applicable, Order of Approval (for dual citizens) indicating the name of the child as a minor-beneficiary of the parent’s re-acquisition of Philippine citizenship.

6.If applicable, photocopies of U.S. Naturalization Certificate of parent(s)

7.If report of birth is filed more than a year after the child is born, a notarized affidavit explaining the reasons for the delayed registration.

The originals will be submitted to the National Statistics Office and Department of Foreign Affairs.

Applicants who applied in person but want their documents mailed back to them should also submit a self-addressed US Postal Service registered mail or FEDEX /UPS envelope.

Note: If applying by mail, have your application forms notarized and the applicant submits a self-addressed return envelope with appropriate stamps.

My mother was not Filipino when I was born. so I'm not sure what to do

You cannot get a localized BC. The consulates instructions are written based on the "typical" case. You are not typical. You bring what you have, it is all you can do.
