In the Philippines, many Chinese Filipino families receive a birth certificate (PSA) as a legal proof of their baby's identity and the basis for subsequent applications for passports, visas, and other matters. Many friends are concerned about how many days it will take for the visa to be issued and how long it will take to process it. Below is a detailed answer to help smooth the process.

1、 Philippine Birth Paper PSA Core Instructions

The Philippine Birth Certificate (PSA) is issued by the Philippine Bureau of Statistics (PSA) and is a core document for confirming the identity and nationality of babies. Both Chinese Filipino mixed race and local Filipino babies need to apply for it. It has a wide range of uses and is an essential material for subsequent passport application, visa extension, and family relationship verification. Handling involves multiple institutions such as hospitals, city halls, and statistical bureaus, and the process is cumbersome. Entrusting EasyGo International (with 12 years of industry experience) can save time and shorten the cycle.

2、 Core question: How many days does it take for the Philippine Birth Paper PSA to be issued?

-Individual self processing: After filing with the city hall, a public notice period of at least 2 months is required, and applying for PSA by the statistics bureau requires at least 2 months, with a total duration of 4-6 months.
