birth certificate mothers name error .. affidavit will work ?

[Elleanor 10]

hello there.. i am new here and my fiance and I were still completing our 129f package and while checking on everything i realized that on my child's birth certificate he has a middle name and on the registered mother i have a middle name..

but the truth is on my birth certificate I dont have a middle name and my child wasn't suppose to have a middle name cause he was a ilegitimate child and on the philippine law ilegitimate child shouldn't have a middle name..

well we are thinking of still filing the 129f with the said birth certificate of my child and along with that would be an affidavit that i am the real biological mother and it was just clearly an typographical error.. and also we were gonna fix my sons birth certificate while were waiting for our Noa2 if it happens..

my question is .. would our idea be okay ? or should we fix the childs name first before filing ?

-cause i was a bit confuse what to do. did someone out there just had the same thing as me.

i would appreciate the help. thank you so much..

I am not familiar totally with your subject but IMHO I would think you would have to correct your documents before you begin your visa processing as you do not want to have a delay in the middle of the process.

Having said that, here is some information I was able to find on the topic of naming of a illegitimate child from NSO. The process of changing your documents is going to be 4-6 months at least. You're going to need all his documents to show the new name, if they do not have it correct now, such as BC, NBI and Passport.

FROM NSO:

What is the rule on registration of births of illegitimate children who were born on August 3, 1988 and thereafter?

The following rules shall govern the registration of illegitimate children who were born on August 3, 1988 and thereafter:

1. An illegitimate child shall use the surname of his mother (Art. 176, F. C.) regardless of whether or not his father admits paternity. (Opinion of the Civil Code Revision Committee, September 23, 1988)
2. The name of the father of the illegitimate child may be indicated on the birth certificate of the latter whenever the former executes an affidavit of admission of paternity, provided that such affidavit shall not affect the naming of the illegitimate child. (Opinion of the Civil Code Revision Committee, September 23, 1988)
3. The affidavit mentioned in the immediately preceding paragraph, if executed by the father shall be permanently attached to and shall form part of the birth certificate of the illegitimate child. the birth certificate in such a case must have a remark "With Attached Affidavit of Admission of Paternity" impressed with a rubber stamp at the upper left-hand margin and duly signed by the local civil registrar or authorized civil registry personnel.
4. Illegitimate children falling under this classification who were not registered within the prescribed period of registration shall comply with the requirement of delayed registration of births. (Section 4 Circular No. 89-13 dated July 17, 1989)

im not sure if we have the same case. here's mine.

i'm single with derivatives. my children's BC = they both have my middle name. when i filled-up their BC at the hospital I used my middle name to be their middle name, my surname as their surname. the hospital & registrar did not object and i found out later that the proper naming for illegitimate children should not bear a middle name.

i have read somewhere (not from this forum) that USEM does not focus on the proper format of names. the important thing is that i can prove they are my biological children.

i did not bother changing their NSO BC. I stick with what they have. used the same name for their passports, school records, etc.

as to my full name, I have no problem with my BC. I HAVE though on my mother's name (birth certificate registration error). Her BC indicated a different first name while all her school, professional records and marriage indicated a different first name (thus in my BC my mother was using an AKA).

when she applied for a phil passport of course DFA issued her with the name same as what is written in her BC.

so now my issue is my mother, my petitioner, bearing a different first name in her passport and US records, and I will have to prove to the consul that my mother's name listed in my BC is the same person with my petitioner.

i do not worry about this much though. i plan to bring a copy of an affidavit signed by my mother and some other people who knows her that NAME-A and NAME-B is one and the same person.

i do hope i am right in this and will not need more complicated documents to furnish the consul.

What you need to submit is your mom's document showing her change of name, a copy of her naturalization certificate.

yes we do have the exact issue with your kid but the difference is when i checked out my BC last year i found out i dont have a middle name.

well what i did is i still got a passport of my child with the name as said in his BC but i filed out a petition for correction.. I've been planning that i will just show the consul the new BC of my child i just hope that the corrrection wont take that much time to process..

Well i wish everything works for the both of us . goodluck..

Thanks and great move. I do hope too that you'll get it done on time. May I ask how to apply for correction? Just in case I'll need it for my boys. Thanks!

first you must go the municipal where your children are registered and from there you can file a petition for correction.

they will give you a lot of requirements but all they asked me was just my cenomar,my mothers cenomar and a copy of my birth certificate

and for my kid they just asked his baptismal,birth certificate and medical card from the clinics ..

the second time i went there for the passing of my documents they also asked me to signed all the papers that was needed ..

i just paid 1000 pesos for the correction and 180 for the notice.. you dont need to go to the NSO anymore cause after signing and giving them the documents you will just wait for 2--3 months.. the lady who helped me out there told me after 2 months i can go and check it out if it's already done.

So far it wasn't that hard,. try to check this out http://nso.citizenservices.com.ph/nso-certificate-ra9048 ..
