local birth certificate not recon wd other legal docs..

I would like to ask advice about my father's Local Birth Certificate. The need of his Birth Cert arises when we try to process for his passport. We request for NSO copy but no record of his birth. So we proceed to the Local Registrar. We received his Birth Certificate but NO middle initial...while his other documents like Marriage Contract, Baptismal etc. has. Please advice what shall we do.. We're like confuse what and which to do first..

Tnx.. truly appreciate your advices..

ask your dad whether his parents were married. if he was illegitimate then he shouldn't have a middle name. if he was legitimate, you will have to prove the marriage of his parents.

you can try to argue that this is a mere typo error and ask the registrar for the process for administrative correction of clerical error.

if this is not a mere typo, and his mother's middle name is not at all indicated and his parents were married, i believe you will have to file a judicial action to correct the records.

if the birth certificate is correct, then ask the civ registrar how it can be forwarded to the nso.

thank you so much for the advice... my grandpa was illegal chinese then so..i guess my grandparents weren't married. if that so, my father's birth cert wd no middle initial is just right.. But his Marriage contract has middle initial(which is the middle name of my grandma)... what to do to change Marriage contract & other docs to reconcile with the Birth Cert?

your advice is really appreciated.. tnx alot.

investigate it further. ask the dfa what to do regarding the middle initial, they may accept it as just a clerical error and require you to just produce affidavits that it is one and the same person. the name he should use should be the one on the birth certificate.

ahhh... ok..tnx for the advice.. more power to you all..
