PRISM & St. Mary's were closed, only the office on Quirino Ave exists in Manila (like said there is an office in CEBU).

CFO Online Registration Form: http://www.cfo.gov.p...trationform.pdf Complete this and print a couple copies to bring to the CFO seminar, it will save you time.

From CFO website:

  1. Original and photocopy of one(1) of valid identification card with photograph of the proxy
  2. Special Power of Attorney authenticated by Diplomatic Post if parent/s/ or guardian/s are based overseas; or a duly notarized authorization letter executed by parent/s or guardian/s while in the Philippines.
  3. Other documents that may be required by the registration officers.

The following emigrants are exempted from attending the PDOS and registering in person with the CFO, provided that they are registered by a proxy:

  • Those who are 60 years old and above;
  • Those incapacitated due to permanent or long-term ailments; or
  • Those with mental health issues or psychologically-challanged.

In the registration of the above emigrants, the proxy is required to present the following documents in addition to the usual required documents:

No need. Just bring with you the passports of your children, IDS (if you have them), birth certificates to show that you are the parent, CFO fee of P400 each. :-)
