Hello, I have problem as well regarding my birth certificate. I used my late registered birth cert when I went to college and also when I started working.
Just recently when I requested for another one (requirement for my new job) I got the first registered bc which is totally different from what I usually used. Here are the difference: father’s name, my surname, place of birth and ‘method of giving birth’.
If the first registration is the official record, then that means I have to change all the documents that I have right now. starting from my diploma up until to my passport, TIN, SSS etc.?
Honestly i was shocked when I received the copy, I indicated in my request that I was late registered and the name of my father I wrote was the one I’m currently using but still I got the first registered bc.
My father (in my late registered bc) died already and I don’t know where is my biological father (the one in my first registered bc). My mom is also not around.
Is it possible to make the late registered BC the official? Do I have to contact my parents (my mom and my biological dad) during the court hearing? Kindly also give me an estimate of the cost for the said way to change my name.
If I will adopt the name on my first reg BC I'll be needing only an affidavit to change my surname in all my legal documents? Around how much will this cost me?
Thanks in advance.
