APELIDO KO PO SA BIRTH C.YUNG SA TATAY KO, WHILE EVERSINCE NAGSTART AKO MAG ARAL YUNG SA MOTHER KO GAMIT KO, HINDI PA PO AKO NABINYAGAN 23 YEARS OLD NA AKO. PAG PO BA MAG AABROARD AKO MAGKAKA PROBLEMA AKO DAHIL WALA AKONG BAPTISMAL AT MAGKAIBA GAMIT KONG APELIDO? MAAYOS PA PO BA ITO,KUNG OO MAGKANO PO AT MATAGAL BA, NEXT YEAR PALANG PO AKO PAPA BINYAG. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

baptism has no legal bearing.

the law requires you to use the name listed on your birth certificate. yes, you may have problems later on when you try to get a passport, take a prc exam, or any document where your birth certificate is required.

WALA PO BANG IBANG PARAAN NA PWDENG GAWIN PARA YUNG GINAMIT KONG FULL NAME NA NASA SCHOOL RECORDS KO YUN NALANG?

are your parents married? did your father sign your birth certificate?

if you really wish to insist to use your mother's surname, you will have to file a case in court to have your name changed.

HINDI PO SILA MARRIED, AT HINDI ALAM NG DAD KO NA YUNG SURNAME PALA NYA NAKALAGAY SA BIRTH CERTIFICATE KO. SEPARATED PO SILA SINCE BIRTH KO PO. ANG ALAM NYA YUNG SA MAMA KO ANG SURNAME NA GINAGAMIT KO. YUNG PAG FILE PO BA NG CASE MATAGAL PO BA, AT MAHAL?

cost depends on which laywer you retain. you can approach the PAO, or legal aid office of the IBP or law school. normally it will take 6 mos to 1 year

Can you please give me a rough estimate of how much I will have to spend to file a judicial petition to rectify the typo error in my name and the change in my birthdate. How much would it cost normally to hire a private counsel to undertake this including publication? Marami pong salamat.

it really depends on which lawyer you retain, but P30,000 would be reasonable.

Yung sa birthcert ko po kasi, my nkalagay na (-) in between names (ex. Mary-Ann, pero Mary Ann lang po gamit ko eversince. Would that be considered as typo error? And yung sa birthdate ko po years ang gap nila, how long would it take po ba para maayos yun? Thank you and God Bless!

palmyra, the "-" can be considered a typo error, but not the date of birth.

you can file a petition for correction of the "-" at the civil registrar.

for the date, you will have to file a petition in court to have it corrected.

you can also choose to just use what is reflected on the birth certificate and correct your other records instead.

thanks po! youve'd help a lot! hindo ko naisip na pwede nga palang i-correct na lang yung ibang records na lang. Plan ko po kasi na magabroad, di lang ako makakuha ng passport. Do i have to correct my class records starting grade school or starting from high school would be enough?

that would depend on what they require from you. if college records are enough, then stop there. if not, then adjust. good luck.

thank you!

Good day po
Paano po ba ang dapat kung gawin.Ang ginagamit ko pong name ngayon ay Sotero Digras Gumabao Jr. at ang bday ko ay April 22, 1966 lahat po ng record ko ito ang ginagamit ko hanggang ngayon po.Pero ang nakalagay po sa birthcert ko base sa NSO record ay Sotero Digras lang po at ang bday ko naman ay April 23,1966 tapos illigitimate pa po ang nakalagay.Ano po ba ang mga procedure na dapat kung gawin.Matagal na pong patay ang aking mga magulang.Ako po ay ipinanganak sa Cam Sur, kasal at may 2 anak.Problema ko po hindi rin po ako maka kuha ng passport sayang po ang mga oppurtunity na maipadala ako ng kumpany sa abroad.

you have to acquire a marriage certificate of your parents and file with the civil registrar where you birth certificate was registered. You will be deemed legitimated and you can use your father's surname.

As for the birth date, I don't believe they will allow that as a typographical error but you can try. otherwise you will have to file a case in court to correct it or just use that as your birthday.

Thank you :)This will help. One more thing if i use my birthdate stated in my birth certificate it is necessary to change all my current and present record for example employment record etc.?

it will be advisable to change it. use the explanation that it should match your birth certificate.
