What Time does the CFO office open?

[pixie77 2]

Hello Everyone!

I'm ready to register my 9 year old daughter with CFO. What time do they open and what time do you suggest should I go? Are they packed with people all the time? I cannot find their operating hours on the website.

Thanks all for your infos & inputs.

They operate only mondays thru fridays, business hours. Which CFO office will go be going to, cause there are 2 venues, one in Taft Avenue, and another in QC. You have to attend the seminar delivered by PRISM firs before you get ur CFO sticker, as you cant get the sticker without attending the seminar.

you may refer to this link for the particulars of the requirements.

I suggest taking the seminar early in the morning so it saves you the hassle of going to and fro offices.

go directly to the PRISM office first before you go to CFO..

just my 2 cents worth

The CFO is for my daughter who is a minor and not for me. I read on the website that I just need to register her and need not attend any seminars. We'll be going to the one in Taft since that's the nearest to us.

Thanks for the reply.
