1、 Core premise: No Filipino nationality certificate in the Philippines Core explanation

The Philippine Certificate of Non Filipino Nationality is a core document that must be provided when bringing back a baby born in the Philippines to China to register for household registration, with one parent being Chinese and the other being Filipino. Simply put, this certificate is an official document issued by the Philippines to confirm that the baby did not automatically obtain Philippine citizenship through birth, which is in line with China's "single nationality" policy. It is a "key credential" for the baby to return to China to apply for household registration and a Chinese passport. Applying for a certificate of non Filipino citizenship means that the applicant voluntarily renounces their Filipino nationality and must strictly follow the official procedures, with clear and standardized procedures that are closely linked to the Philippine Immigration Department, Department of Foreign Affairs, and Supreme Court. Entrusting EasyGo International as a proxy can simplify material preparation, process integration, avoid mistakes, significantly shorten processing time, and eliminate the need for novice mothers to repeatedly run departments and explore.
