good day po tanong ko lng po sana kung kailangan ko pa ipacorrect ang mispelled surname ng husband ko sa marriage certificate nmin its written as Cabanero instead of Cabañero mgkakaproblema po ba ako sa dfa though wala pong Ñ sa english alphabeth..thanks po
Maureen, best to correct. Dahi typo error lang, admin procedure lang yan. Go to the local civil registrar and they will advise you how to proceed.
Good day po Atty! Since elementary po kasi surname na ginagamit ko sa school ay ang surname ng father ko pero yung sa NSO ang surname ko po surname ng mother ko. Di po sila kasal pero annotated po na acknowledge ako sa NSO and with sign po sa likod. Lahat po ng records ko from elem up until now is surname ng father ko po gamit and graduating po ako ng college. Gusto ko po sana ipabago yung NSO ko from surname of the mother to surname of the father. Ano po ang pwede gawin? Applicable po ba ang AUSF na gawin kahit year 2003 ang birth year? and Pwede po ba tong affidavit of discrepancy in name ang ibigay sa school in case na kailanganin po ang PSA later on? Sana po masagot. Salamat po.
Nickky, the affidavit of discrepancy in name is an explanation of the discrepancy. Ask the school if this is OK with them. They will be the one who will decide. If you want to change the NSO record, if you have time, visit the Civil Registry office where your birth certificate was first registered of any civil registry near you. They will tell you how it can be done since you have paternity acknowledgment.
Ronalyn Antonioatty. paano po kapag Same po kami ng middle name ng mother ko need po ba yun sa court?? Or kahit Hnd na?? Pa advice naman po
Ronalyn, your middle name is your mother’s surname when she was single. Your mother’s middle name is her mother’s surname. If accidentally these two middle names are the same, it would be OK
Good afternoon attorney, ano pong pwedeng gawin kapag yung school records po all throughout college is surname ng father na ang ginamit pero ang nasa nso is maiden name ng mother? di po kasal ang parents pero may acknowleged by father and sign po.
Nixxy, please use it. nix, please use the form. Angelica R. Tuberahello po atty. Paano po kapag nag submit ka ng petetion pero denied ito at ag suggestion nila ay tumungo kami sa korte. May isang letter lang po na birth certificate ko sa middle name po band imbes na REPARIP ay nagg RIPARIP at RIPARIP din po ang nakalagay na apelyido ng aking ina sa aking birth certificate. Ano po Kaya ang pwedeng gawin. At magkano po ang babayaran.
Angelica, go to another Civil Registry Office and please inquire again. It appears typo error lang.Magandang gabi po atty. Itatanong ko lang po kong pwede po ba mka pag file ng exam (PRC) LET ang isang tao na pinoproseso pa ang papel (PSA) kasi po pinapaalis po niya yung middle initial niya dahil wla po syang father na naka indicate sa PSA lumalabas po kasi na magkapatid sila ng mother niya same middle name and last name. Pwde po kaya magpagawa ng affidavit at tatanggapin po kaya yun ng PRC?
Kris, paano po naging kapatid niya ang mother nya? Charlene JulianHello po atty Ask ko lang po .
Kasi sa Birthcertificate po ng Husband ko ang JR nya ay nasa tabi ng apelyedo pero po sa Marriage Certificate po namain ang JR nya po ay nasa tabi ng Pangalan nya .mag kaka problema po ba kami jan ? Sana po masagott salamat po
Charlene, are you getting a passport and that is the reason you are asking? If so, kindly inquire from DFA. Personally, I do not think there would be a problem.
Rezalita Dela CruzHello po atty. Magtatanong lang po. Hindi po me makakuha po ng passport dahil po may discrepancy po sa apelyido ko po. Ang ginagamit ko po ay DELA CRUZ pero sa birth certificate ko po ay DE LA CRUZ po ang nakalagay. Pwede ko po ba ako gumamit ng Affidavit in Discrepancy in name sa pagkuha ng passport po?
Rezalita, contact DFA and ask them kung sufficient na yung affidavit of discrepancy. If not, please go to the nearest Civil Registry office and ask for assistance. Mere misspelling can be corrected administratively, meaning no need to go through the court.
hello po atty..nag apply po kasi ako sa abroad …requirements po kasi psa ng anak ko,sabi po ng agency ko . kailangan ko daw po ng petition for correction kasi po yong sa birthcertificate ng anak ko po is yong jr po ng live-in partner ko po is kailangan daw po katabi ng pangalan ang jr. yong sa harap po is katabi po ng pangalan ang jr ,sa affidavit of acknowledgement naman yong jr is katabi po ng apilyido
..yong sa affidavit daw po ang pagagawan ko ng petition..ayaw naman po ako bigyan ng munsipyo ng petition kasi di daw sila nagbibigay kapag sa affidavit lang.. ano po dapat gawin atty.?
Hello po atty.
Does the DFA will accept my affidavit of discrepancy po to prove that’s my middle name? kasi blur copy of my middle name of my birth certificate. The LCR said na hindi na ma changed kasi blur na ever since ang copy ko, they suggest na magkuha ng correction of entry but it takes time and i badly needed the passport 🥹
Hello po atty.
Ang auntie ko po ay nasa ibang bansa na at she urgently need copy ng kanyang birth certificate. At meron pong discrepancy in name sa kanyang birth certificate. Pwede po ba na ang nakatatandang kapatid nya ang magpa-affidavit or dapat ay disinterested person po? Thank you po in advance.
Hello attorney. Itatanong ko lang po kung pwede bang kumuha ng driver’s license kahit mali yung spelling ng middle name ko sa birth certificate? May mga government IDs naman ako. Ano po ba ang magandang gawin?
Dan, show your govt issued ids to lto who might issue a driver’s license in your customary name. If they issue driver’s license based on your incorrect name in the birth certificate, just be prepared always with an affidavit of discrepancy in name just in case you will be asked to explain.
Hello po Atty. My parents and my lola will be travelling to sg this coming Sept. 9, sponsored po sila ng tito ko na nagwowork sa sg. (Half brother po ng mama ko), upon checking po sa new guidelines ng immigration re sponsored travels, need po nila iprovide passport, tickets, letter of invitation, and proof of relationship, etc. Nakakuha po ng passport si mama ko under the name LESLIE, kasi un po ang nasa birth certificate niya so un na po ang sinunod niya. However sa marriage certificate po kasi niya ang name niya na registered is ROSEMARIE, yan po kasi un nakalakihang name na niya eversince, kumbaga yan na po ang ginamit niyang name sa lahat ng records and transactions niya. Ang question ko po, hindi po kaya magkaproblem si papa ko sa immigration? If hingin ang proof of relationship and ipapakita po ang marriage certificate nila ROSEMARIE ang name ni mama while sa passport and letter of invitation LESLIE. Pwede po kaya iaccept nila if magpapagawa nalang ng affidavit of discrepancy or affidavit of one and the same person? Hope to hear from you po Atty. 🙏
For sure the immigration officer will notice the discrepancy and will require an explanation. The Affidavit of Descrepancy in Name will explain. But they might require additional documents. Best is if you can find time, go to Immigration and inquire.
Hello po atty. itatanong ko lang po kung pwede ba na hindi ko na ipa correct sa psa yung Middle name ko. Middle initial lang po kasi yung nakalagay sa Psa birthcert ko.
Mag aapply po sana ako ng passport . Pwede po kaya yun. I allow po kaya ng dfa yung Middle name ko (kasi middle initial lang yung nandon sa birthcert) .thanks po
Hi attorney ! Sad to say hindi po nila inaccept yung application ko for passport. Need ko daw pong ipa correct yung middle name ko sa LCR kung saan ako pinanganak.
(Middle initial change to middle name po) ano po kayang mga requirements, magkano po kaya magagastos at mga ilang buwan po ang pag process nito. Thank Atty!
Hello po magtatanong lng po Ako mag pa affidavit po Ako kase lost passport po Ako. Ngaun kasal npo Ako Anu puba gagaimitin kong name sa affidavit ko name ko nung sa nawala ko passport o ngaun po na kasal npo ako
Dolores, use po yung name nyo ngayon na kasal na kayo. But best to carry your maiden surname. Example: if you are married to Cruz, then write your name as DOLORES MORENO-CRUZ.
Cristina SimbajonHello po atty. Ask ko lang po about s anak ko n gusto kumuha ng passport ang problema po is yong birth certificate kasi po dpo naka sulat ang name ng father nya sa kadahilanan n d p kami kasal at ibang lahi po ang father nya ngaun ano po ang dapat gawin para makakuha ng passport ng anak ko.wala po kc ung father nung pinanganak ko sya kaya di po sya na acknowledge.salamat po sa inyong isasagot.GOOD DAY.
Cristina, DFA requires birth certificate for passport issuance. In the case of your child the passport will he issued in her/his name as appearing in her birth certificate. And she/he will always be carrying an affidavit of discrepancy in name in case an explanation is called for.
christian natalhello good day po itatanong kolng po kung ano po ang pwde naming gawin. kasi po ung mama ko ai nag pakasal gamit po ang apilyedo ng tatay nya.. tapos nung kumuha po ako ng birth cert ng mama kopo ang lumabas po dun ai hndi po siya. nka apliyedo sa kanyang tatay at sa nanay po siya nka aplydo..
ano pi manyayari sa kanilang mariage contract ng papa ko kung aplydo po ng lolo ang ginamit ng mama ko nagunit aplydo nmn po pala ng lola ko ang nkalgay sa kanyang birth cert?
Christian, I think the validity of their marriage is not affected provided the requisites of marriage are complied with. The identity of your mother can be ascertained by other facts appearing in several documents and can be explained. If affidavit of discrepancy in name is not sufficient correction may be made in the records in civil registry. For this you need to consult with the pertinent civil registry.
Jelyn RiveraHello po atty. Ask ko Lang po Kung paano po pag blank po Yung apelyido ko. Pinaregister po kase ako ng parents ko sa civil registrar na Di pa po kase sila kasal. Pero may affidavit naman po ako na pwde k ng magamit Ang apelyido ng father ko. Ano po ba Ang dapat Kung gawin? Ngayon na magte take na po ako ng board exam. Thank you po and God bless.
Jelyn, go to the nearest civil registry, show your affidavit and get their advice.Hi po. Good noon. My tanong lang po ako. Paano po ung ang name ng mother ko po ay Alicia then ang nasa birth certificate ko po ay Alice. Ano po ang ggawin ko doon. Salmat po
Karen, baka po pwede na macorrect by way of affidavit. Go to the civil registry office near your place. Ask for the affidavit form and get their advice.
Hi po atty mag tatanong lang po sana ako.
sana po ay ma sagot niyo ang aking katanungan.
ang name ko po since birth ay monique kaya po sa lahat ng papel na meron po ako ay monique po ang gamit ko kahit po sa psa ng anak ko eh monique po talaga.
then nagulat po kami nung mag papa late register na po ako eh may lumabas po na Jennifer daw po ang name ko
ano po ang dapat kung gawin kasi po hindi po ako maka kuha ng mga requirements kahit valid id po sana po ay ma pansin ninyo ang aking katanungan dahil po gusto ko din mag karoon ng mga Sss phillhealth pag ibig.
Monique, you may have to file a petition in court to have your name changed to Monique from Jennifer. If it is only typographical you may just have it corrected by way of affidavit. Best for you to go to the nearest civil registry and ask for advice.
Leslie Bandol BolimaHi po. Ask ko lang po if yung witnesses po sa pag apply ng affidavit of discrepancy is dapat po kabarangay or pwede po kahit ka work na di naman po same ng lugar? Thank you po!
Leslie, the witness can be anybody who saw the execution or signing of the affidavit. Preferably not related to any of the parties.
Good morning po. Tanong ko po sana kung pwede po ang affidavit of discrepancy sa nangyari po kasi sa birth ko palayaw po ng mama ko ang andoon tpos po ang nkalagay ki sa marriage cert ko ay ang tunay nya panagalan nya. Pwede ko po bang magamit ang affidavit of discrepancy sa pag apply po ng visa at pag aayos ko po ng papel?
If the agency concerned accepts the affidavit of discrepancy as sufficient then OK.Hi po question po pag ba pina notary mo po yang joint affidavit need ang mga witness ay present at that time. Or kahit ids lng nila will suffice.
Not necessarily, the witnesses. But the affiants must be present before the notary. Johnny DizonGreetings! Is the AFFIDAVIT OF DISCREPANCY Also work and acceptable in the airline industry?
Only a single letter in the surname has been wrongly typed
Hello po Atty.
ask ko lang po kasi yung nakalagay po sa SSS ko is AGCADILI same po kasi sa BIRTH CERT KO pagkakasulat po is AGCADILI. okay lang po ba na gamitan ko ng Discrepancy yun kasi po ang pagkakabasa po tlga sa Birth cert ko is AGCADILI pero ang totoong spelling po tlga is AGCAOILI. hindi po ako makakuha ng benefits dahil po sa hindi match ung sa SSS ko at yung ID’s ko . THANK YOU PO.
Hector, the Affidavit of Discrepancy explains why there is a difference in the names. If the affidavit is acceptable to SSS then you achieve the purpose. If they do not accept the affidavit ask them what document they want so you can get your benefits.
Maria Ana San pabloHi po atty mag tatanong lang po ako ano po dapat kung gawin sence po gamit ko Ma.ana pero Nong kumuha po ako sa birth certificate nakalagay po Maria Ana need ko po KC mag pa correct. Sa marriage contract nmin nakalagay po Ma. Ganun din po sa pag ibig ng asawa ko Ma. din po ang nakalagay sa benefiacry kumuha din po kaming housing loan pero kailangan daw po nmin ipa ayos ang pag ibig ng asawa for beneficiaries ngaun po pwede po kaya ang affidavit of discrepancy saan po kay ako pwede maka kuha non. Sana po mabasa nyo po ito salamat po
Dear Maria Ana, Your name appearing in the birth certificate is your real name, Maria Ana. But when you dealt with Pag-Ibig, they noticed that the name you use is Ma. Ana. Then they ask you why the difference. So you have to explain to them why. Thus, you will compose and sign an Affidavit of Name Discrepancy where you will state that since childhood you have been using the name Ma. Ana and both the names refer to one and the same person, you. Ask Pag-ibig first if such Affidavit is sufficient. I hope it will be sufficient. If Ok, just follow the form provided.
hi po atty na correction na kase name ko nakaannotate Yung legitimate full name ko pero walang Jr. pero sa loob ng PSA ko may Jr. pero sa Yung surname pa ng mother Yung gamit doon kase Hindi pa Sila kasal when I was born.. sa PSA ko naman May Sr. nakalagay sa father ko.. pwede ba hindi ko na palagyan ng Jr. atty? magkakaproblema po ba yan pagkuha ng passport? Pwede po ba gamitin Ang Affidavit kase Yung ibang documents ko may suffix na Jr.? Paadvice po
Same answer po.Hi po atty Sana masagot, paano po kung Wala nang Jr. Na sa annotated part ng PSA ko legitimate full name ko nakalagay na.. pero nakalagay sa father name ko may Sr. Pwede po ba Hindi na ako magpalagay? At pwede po ba gamitin and Affidavit of discrepancy kase Yung grumaduate ako ng high school may Jr. Sa diploma ko
Hindi naman kami pariho middle name ng father ko.. okay lang po ba Yung atty kung Hindi na ako magpalagay ng Jr. Kase nong Hindi pa Sila kasal nakalagay sa BC ko ay surname ni mama at may suffix na Jr. Pero Nung na correct na sa annotated Wala nang nakalagay, pero may Sr. sa name ng father ko sa PSA ko
Yes, if you have been used to not using Jr. But in case you need to explain, just present affidavit of discrepancy.
Gyyyy, your official name is the one in your birth certificate. Your actual name is the one you use. In case you need to explain the difference you show an affidavit of discrepancy.
Janea AyisahGood eving po Atorney tamong ko lng po kung pwd p edit kc n mis typing po ako Sa middle name ko Sa hlip n bares bared po nlagay.. Di ko nmn n send kc wala p po akong 2×2 pic pwd po b Yun maedit slmt
Yes, you can still edit it. Are you Islam? Dexy PalpallatocGood day po Atty! Since birth po kasi ang gamit ko na pong surname ay ang surname ng father ko but then yung sa Birth Certificate ko po pala, ang surname ko po doon ay ang surname ng mother ko, since nung pinanganak po ako year 2002 ay hindi naman sila kasal at may ibang pamilya na rin po ang mother ko ngayon. Kaya sa lahat po ng school records ko po mula elementary hanggang ngayon po, surname po ng father ko ang gamit ko. Gusto ko po sana ipabago yung Birth Certificate ko from surname of the mother to surname of the father. Ano po bang action ang kailangan kong gawin? And tatanggapin po kaya ng school ang Affidavit of Discrepancy according to my case? Thank you po and God Bless.
Dexy, how old are you? Are you still studying? Do you have a passport? Veronica EspinoHello, Good day! I am planning to have my birth certificate be annotated, since my middle name is incorrect. I want to apply for a passport. However, my Mother’s name and Father’s name are also incorrect. I have a ton of reasons why this happened, but please let me know what I should do first, to fix this. Thank you so much! Regards, Veronica On Mon, Aug 9, 2021 at 4:53 PM J.A.B. Bulao & Associates wrote: > Atty. Jose Angelito B. Bulao commented: “Dexy, how old are you? Are you > still studying?

Hello, atty! same case po kay Dexy, except nung pinanganak po ako eh Legitimate child naman. nagkaerror lang po sa declaration yung parents ko about sa status ng marriage nila dahil may issue noon na akala nila invalid yung unang kasal nila sa judge tapos it turns out na valid pala. Pagpanganak po sa akin sinabi nila na Not married sila kaya po ayun. Lahat po ng records ko apilido ng father tapos sa BC ko surname ko po is kay mother. Hindi ko pa rin po naporprocess since ngayon wala na po akong contact sa both parents ko. Sapat na po kaya yung Affidavit of Discrepancy para sa graduation requirement? Graduating student na po kasi ako and isa sa requirements yung PSA Live birth namin. Sana po matulungan niyo ako atty. Wala rin po akong ibang valid ids bukod sa barangay ID at school ID. salamat po atty!
Christine, I suggest you state in your affidavit of name discrepancy the facts you just stated and attach your birth certificate and validated marriage contract of your parents. The valid marriage contract of your parents justify your use of your father’s surname which you will state in the affidavit. To make correction may take long and you may not have time anymore. Just for graduation purposes. But later approach office of civil registry in your place at patulong kayo re anong gawin.
Kristopher L. Malpalgood day!
Atty ask ko lang po if ano ang pedeng gawin sa problem ko sa name ko. Way back po 1990 hindi pa uso ang nso o psa ang birth certificate po na gamit natin is ung galing sa Municipyo. Ang ini issue po sa amin ng Municpyo is ” KRISTOPHER L. MALPAL “. So nung mag aral po ako sa elementary yan na po ang gmit ko bali lahat po ng documents ko s high school at ng mag kawork un ang gamit ko maging nung mag asawa ako. ngayon po nung time na kumuha ako ng psa ang naka declared ng name ko sa psa ay ” KRISTOPHER DONNE L. MALPAL”.
Ano po kaya ang maganda kong gawin?
Kristopher, you may continue using the name you have been using. In case you are asked why your name is different from that appearing in your birth certificate then you execute an affidavit of discrepancy in name.
Teodorico A. Dulla IIIGood evening sir. i would like to ask for your opinion on the the correct format of the name that i will place sa gagawin kong Affidavit of One & the same person details:

First Name : Teodorico
Middle Name : Ang
Last Name : Dulla III 2. Sa passport & drivers license
First Name: Teodorico III
Middle Name: Ang
Last Name: Dulla Ang # 2 po ang tama, mali yung sa birth certificate, paano po ba ito ma state sa affidavit na execute ko? specifically ang pag state sa full name na portion. Thank You
Teodoro, just state that in the birth certificate your name appears as ___________. However, since childhood you have been using the name ______________. That the two names refer to one and the same person, the Affiant. Do not state that one is correct and the other wrong.
Hello po! Ask ko lang po kung ano ang kailangan ko pong dalhin or gawin sa pagkuha ng affidavit of discrepancy in middle name. Hindi po kasi kita yung middle name ko sa psa at nso kaya hinihingan po ako ng hr ng inapplyan kong company ng affidavit. Ano po kaya mga kailangan saka magkano po iyon?

pete geraldAtty. Gud day po inaacept po ba sa civil service ung afidavit of discrepancy sa birth certifcate? kc po ung sa PSA birth certifcate ko mali ung surname ko sa ginamit ko .
Pete, I suggest you make query to Civil Service Commission. They are the ones who will either accept or not accept the affidavit of discrepancy.

Hanny, i assume your mother will have to declare you as her daughter so she can get you and you can apply for residency? This would also depend on the authorities in the country where your mother is. Best for your mother to consult a lawyer in that country. An explanation under oath with other documents as proof may be needed. But it would depend on the requirements of that country.
Cindy JabonilloGood day po!! Atty. Ask ko lang po kung yung name ba ng father ko namali ng pagtyoe SA certified true copy ng birth cert ko kailangan ko PA po bang kumuha ng affidavit of discrepancy? Kasi po yung Nso ko at other document OK na naman po. Yung certified true copy lang takaga ang namali..
Thank you po
Dear Cindy, Usually, an affidavit of discrepancy in name refers to the name/s of the affiant, your name, not that of your father.
gudpm po Attorney Bulao ano po bang dapat kung gawin sa pangalan ko na ang ginagamit ko po sa lahat nga mga document ko po at school records ay SUSETTE..pero nang nag pa authenticate na po ako sa aking birth certificate naging SUETTE nlang po..nawala yung isang S..ANO PO BA ANG DAPAT KUNG GAWIN ATTORNEY?SANA PO MATULUNGAN NYO PO AKO SA PROBLEMA KO.
susette, go to the nearest registry of deed and ask for the appropriate form to fill up. they will also advise you what to do.
Roanalyn M. Robiñosgood day po.. ask ko lang po if may mga papers po ba na kelangan ko i present to change the BIRTH ORDER ng anak ko .. i was confused when i sign the certificate of birth of my child that time.. i thought kasama yung miscarriage sa birth order kaya nalagay ko po is 2nd on my first born.. thanks in advance ROAN
Roan, go to the nearest registry of deeds and aks them po.Dear Roanalyn, I suggest you go to the nearest civil registry and ask them how to correct such entry in the birth certificate of your childe.
Good day po Atty! Gusto ko po sana itanong ang case ng papa ko. Iba ho kasi yung pangalan na nakalagay sa Baptismal Certificate (Alberto) nya at sa NSO Birth Certificate (Roberto). By the way po, late registration po yung birth certificate nya sa NSO kasi wala daw syang record sa local registry office. Tapos yung birthdate nya naman iba ang nakalagay sa school record at sa birth certificate. Tama po lahat ng nakalagay sa birth certificate nya. Pero kailangan po kasi ang baptismal and school record niya sa pag-apply ng visa kasi ‘Late Registration’ ang NSO Birth Certificate nya. Dapat po ba dalawang Affidavit of Discrepancy ang gagawin? o pwede pong isahin nalang? Salamat po.
Dear Grace, Isang Affidavit of Discrepancy lang ang gagawin. Anong province po kayo?Good day po Atty!
Salamat po. Sa cebu po ang province namin. Magkano po ba ang pagpagawa ng affidavit of discrepancy?
Grace, between P500 to P3,000.00. I suggest you get in touch with a lawyer near your place. Any lawyer can prepare that document.
ferlyn orenciogood pm poh tanong ko lang pero magkano bayad pagkukuha ng joint affidavite ksi yong nso ko ferlyn pero yong deploma ko jerlyn.

Grace, I advise you go to the Civil Registry where your birth certificate was first registered, ask for the appropriate form and ask how long the process would take.
hello po. i am to take the nurses licensure exam on november and filing na po namin ng application sa september 22. ask ko lang po if PRC will accept an affidavit of discrepancy sa birth certificate?minor error lang naman po. kasi mali po yung isang letter sa middle name ng father ko
I think an affidavit of discrepancy would be sufficient. It is not your name at issue. thank you so much atty.affidavit of one and the same person po pala ang ginamit. pero i take it hindi naman po magkakaroon ng problem sa PRC application ko since hindi naman yung name ko ang may mali?
RUZEL E. NICOLASGood Pm, Atty.
Balak ko po sanang kumuha ng passport para sa akin at sa anak ko pero po may problema sa SURNAME ko ng single ko ako instead na Esponilla po ESPANILLA ang nakalagay sa birth certificate ko. Pero po sa MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE KO Esponilla po yung nakalagay hindi po siguro napansin ng Civil Registry na mali apelyido ko sa BC. Ngayun ginagamit ko na yung surname ng asawa since kasal na ako hindi po kaya maging problema yun sa passport ng anak ko at sa passport ko if ever mapansin nila pagkakaiba sa BC at marriage certificate ko.
Dear Ruzel, When you get passport DFA will use as basis your birth certificate. In the same manner, DFA will issue passport for your child based on his/her birth certificate. There could be discrepancy. If ever you are asked to explain the discrepancy later by any agency or entity then you execute an affidavit of discrepancy. Now if you want to have the birth certificates corrected just go the pertinent civil registry and ask for assistance. You will be required to sign a form affidavit. Atty. Bulao Atty. Bulao
Hi Atty Bulao, Good day po. Kukuha po sana ako ng Pagibig Consolidation as a pre-employment requirement. Nag ask sila ng fullname ko and ung naka register sa previous company ko is middle initial lng (A.) Ask ko lng po kung need pa mag affidavit of name discrepancy pag ang kelangan is spelled middle name (Abat) hindi initial (A.) Baka kasi enough na ung Drivers License ID for example to present na same ung (A.) sa (Abat). Thank you and God Bless
John, I suggest give them your full name since they require full name: John Abat Blando, for example. If they they ask you to explain why your name in the previous company was only John A. Blando, that is the time you execute an Affidavit of Discrepancy. Atty. Bulao
John, for forms go to the website jabbforms.com. There, you may need the legal forms you need. Atty. Bulao
Hello po atty. Good evening po. Tanong ko po sana kung ano po ang ilalagay na reason sa affidavit of discrepancy with undertaking re: date and place of marriage. Negative po sa NSO marriage namin. Need po affidavit sa pagkuha ng passport sa minor children ko.
Asahan ko po ang inyong tugon.
Marami pong salamat. Gumagalang Luz
Dear Luz, In getting passports for your minor children, the important document to submit is their birth certificates. I presume you are married. Correct? If you are married, the solemnizing officer would have submitted your marriage contract to the civil registry in the place where you are married and the civil registry would have forwarded a copy to NS0. Please check first with the local civil registry why they did not forward your marriage contract to NSO. If they failed to forward, just request them for a certified true copy and attach this to the Affidavit that you will execute. The Affidavit shall simply state that your are married as evidenced by your marriage contract solemnized before ____name of solemnizing officer____ on _______ in __________. Atty. Bulao

Auregood evening po atty., kukuha po kasi ako ng architecture board exam this coming june. ang PRC po ay may online registration, so when i filled up my parents’ name, inilagay ko po Marino(father) & Concepcion(mother). pero ang nakalagay po sa original BC ko ay Mariano(father) & Conception(mother). ano po kaya ang dapat kong gawin?
Nino, if you are required to submit birth certificate to PRC, I suggest you gave the names of your parents as appearing in the birth certificate in order not to be asked to explain. If you have already stated the names Marino and Concepcion, then just wait to be asked to explain. They might not asked. If they ask you to explain the discrepancy then your father and mother will execute an affidavit of discrepancy. Atty. Bulao
Good day po, Atty. itatanong ko lang po kung makakakuha po ba ako ng passport using affidavit of discrepancy, kasi po, instead na Fenale, male po yung naka-check e babae po ako. Kailangan ko na po makakuha ng passport e. I’m looking forward to hear from you soon.
Jensen, since the mistake refers to gender, the DFA may not consider the affidavit of discrepancy as sufficient. I suggest you ask DFA.
Hello Atty. Bulao Good morning po. Anong affidavit po kaya ang pwede ko gamitin sa situation ko? In my passport I am using my father’s lastname Fatima Reyes but sa company na pinapasukan ko I am using my husband’s lastname Fatima Magno. I am working in airline, so we have a benefit of free tickets. I want to use my International ticket, so I need to request it from my company. But ang record nila will show my husband’s lastname which is not incorporated to my passport. I know I need to give my company an affidavit that Fatima Reyes and Fatima Magno
are the same person. Pwede mo po ba ako mabigyan ng sample ng ganitong klaseng affidavit? Thank you po Fatima
Fatima, just make an affidavit patterned after the one in my website. Then email it to me attybulao@gmail.com. I will review it.
Good day po Atty., ask ko lang po if pede po ba ang affidavit of discrepancy for passport application. Situation ko po kasi is ang family name ko at sa father ko sa birth certificate is BENDEGOZA, but lahat ng records ko at ids is BENDIGOSA.
Nelso, try nyo lang if asked. If DFA does not ask you then ok. Denise BandalGud pm Atty. Ung baptismal ko po kc mali ang spelling.

Denise Bandal
Denise, Talk to the parish priest and ask if pwede na ang affidavit to explain the discrepancies. It is they who will decide. If your produce the affidavit but hindi din nila tanggapin, sayang di. Atty. Bulao
hello Good day Atty. Jose Angelito B. Bulao I really need your words regarding this matter. i have my surname spacing problem in my birth certificate my name is Michelle De La Cruz but in my passport it is Michelle Dela Cruz I recently got married with a US citizen here in Seoul and my name in our marriage contract is Michelle Dela Cruz ’cause they copied what is written on my passport. so in my passport and my marriage contract it is Dela Cruz but in my birthcert it is De La Cruz will it affect my US immigrant and green card petition? if yes, How can i fix this? can i just fix it by correcting my birth certificate and make it Dela Cruz instead of De La Cruz and just follow my marriage contract and passport info? I really need to know what to do. I want to be sure that this will not cause problems in the processing of my papers in the US embassy regarding surname issue. Thank you so much in advance and More power!
Dear Michelle, I do not think there would be a problem or a serious one. US authorities fully know that there are lingual contraptions because of usage. so de la cruz which means “of the cross”, by usage in a place which no longer speak spanish appears in written form as “dela cruz”. The sound is the same. The fault, if ever there is, is DFA who miscopied “de la cruz” to dela cruz. But it is not unexplainable because in the Philippines the name “dela Cruz” is usually used. Atty. Bulao
Good day po.For husand ko po ito. Ang name nya po sa BC is Hemidino Jr and all other documents, but sa MC ay walang Jr. Right now gusto ko po magprocess ng visa application. Pwede po kaya gamitin lang ay Affidavit of discrepancy? Thank you.
Dear Shelley, Yes. Just make available the affidavit of discrepancy. When asked to explain, just produce it. Mention the fact that in the birth certificate the father of your husband is Hermidino. Thus, your husband can use “jr.”.
Follow up question sir. His father’s name is Henidino , but ung name ng husband ko sa birth certificate is Hemidino Jr. All his documents is Hemidino Jr. except our Marriage cert which uses Hemidino. Can we still use affidavit? Or need na ipachange s MC. Thanks.
Shelly, I think there is no need to correct the MC. Just make available the affidavit so that in case you are asked to explain the discrepancy you can present it. Atty. Bulao
sir gud day po… ask q lang po ang joint affidavit po ba ay pwede q po gamitin process nang visa? kac yung name nang sa LCR is josie tapos lahat nang documents ay josie then maliban nlang sa NSO ay jogie so binigyan aq nang attorney sa amin nang joint affidavit ok po ba yun pang process for visa??
sana matulongan nyo po aq . . tnx , ,
Josie, Baka hindi pwede. DFA based passport on BC. But just try. I suggest you go to the civil registry near you and ask for the form to be used in correcting typographical error in name. It is only an administrative process. Atty. Bulao
Good day, I would be applying for correction on my birth certificate because the gender field was left blank or unmarked. i just found out when i secured a copy of my birth certificate at NSO. is affidavit of discrepancy applicable for this case? thanks.
Dear Len, Correcting gender has to be done in court. Contact a lawyer near you and ask for assistance. Atty. Bulao
atty gud pm po. itatanong ko lang po kung pano yung magiging action sa case na to. may friend po kasi ako na magkaiba po ang gamit na apelyido. nung pinanganak po kasi siya ang apelyido niya pong ginamit sa mama niya, yun na din po yung ginamit niya sa school at sa iba pang documents, sa philhealth pag ibig etc, tapos lately po nung kumuha siya nso apelyido po ng tatay niya ang nakalagay, itatanong ko po kung ano magging action. gusto po kasi niya kumuha ng passport ang problema po iba yung apelyido sa birth certificate niya sa mga files niya. late registered po pala siya kaya yung apelyido ng mama niya ang ginamit niya eversince. pano po yun?? thanks.
Ram, DFA will based the passport on BC. The result is your friend has a passport with the surname of the mother as his family name. But in all other documents, his family name is that of his father. Then, when asked to explain anytime and anywhere, he must be ready with an affidavit of discrepancy to show and explain. Atty. Bulao
Hello Atty Bulao, Pwede ko din po bang gamitin ang affidavit of discrepancy sa case ko. My passports, school records, SSS ID, and all other identifications ko ay nakapangalan po sa name ko ngayon na Mari Fe Base Balagtas. Nung kumuha po ako ng NSO certified birth certificate recently ang nirelease po nila is Maria Fe Base Panes. Meaning dalawa po yung entry ko sa NSO having the same mother, Ito daw po ang valid record ko dahil mas nauna daw po yung nifile, yung Balagtas po is surname ng alam kong father ko. Ngayon po kailangan ko yung NSO certified BC uli under Balagtas surname since narelease na din po nila ito sa akin last 2012 nung nag apply ako ng visa, ngayon po hindi po ako maka-apply uli ng visa dahil sa case na ito. May tinanong po akong attorney sabi nila may court proceedings daw po. Pa-advise naman po ng gagawin
Dear Maria Fe, Since the error is not only typographical, court proceeding is needed to correct the error. But try again to get a copy of the BC you used for passport etc by making a written request and attach to such request a copy of the BC which you obtained before. Atty. Bulao
CHARIZZ QUIANIOgud day! ask ko ku g ano dapat gawin kc po kulang ng isang letter yung sa surname ko.ang tlgang gnagamit ko po is,QUIANIO,ang nakalagay po sa NSO BC ko is QUIANO. kulang po ng letter “I”..salamat po.
Dear Charizz, I suggest you go to the nearest Civil Registry and get a form as well as advice. Since the error is typographical, correction can be made by administrative procedure. No need to go to court. Atty. Bulao
hi po. mabilis lng po b proccess ng affidavit of discrepancy?Dear Kent Carlo, Madali lang po. Just go to an attorney near your place and request for such an affidavit if you would need one. Atty. Bulao
Hello poh Atty. I need your advice regarding to Affidavit of Discrepancy in Gender. Female poh aq at male nakalgay sa birth certifcate q. Female po aq sa lahat ng documents. Now kelangan q po affidavit of discrepancy from Notarty Public Atty pra po sa employment q. Required poh kase. Magkanu po ba babayaran q dun? Kelangan pa ba ng witness? Hope to hear from you soon.
Dear BeLLa, Madali lang po gawin ang affidavit of discrepancy. Just approach any attorney near your place. In the long run it is advisable to correct your BC. It is through court proceedings. Just consult a litigation lawyer near you. Atty. Bulao
Hi Aty. ask ko lang if pedeng birthcertificate nlng ang ipakita kong “affiant exhibiting to me his ________________.” instead of passport,tin no. or ctc. no. error sa firstname ko lang nmn kase ung problem sa f137 ko.
Dear Sohn, What is essential is that the ID you present is competent proof of identity. The passport, tin, driver’s license have all pictures in them which easily identifies you to the notary public as the person who swears before him. It is up to the notary public to appreciate the ID you present. The ID is I think in addition to the Community Tax Certificate because the notarial law requires the presentation of the CTC or Cedula and the notarial law has not been repealed yet. Atty. Bulao
karen anuranHi atty… ask ko lang po kasi ang alm ko po and all of my siblings records, my fathers name is jessie but suddenly when i got his NSO copy of jessie’s name was no record then i checked on local registry, he was registered as jesus is his name… then to double check it… i got my parents marriage contract and his name in the MC is JESSIE..
Ano po gagawin step…should i just make an affidavit that his name jesus and jessie is one person… please help po…
Karen, The use of the Affidavit of Discrepancy is to explain why in some documents the name of your brother is Jessie and why in other documents his name is Jesus. An explanation might be sought for example in this instance. His passport would be based on his birth certificate. So his name appearing in the passport would be Jesus. If he applies of a job abroad he would be required to present his school transcript of records and his passport. His transcripts bear the name Jessie while his passport bears the name Jesus. Thus, he has to present an Affidavit of Discrepancy to explain why. I suggest attached to his Affidavit should be his birth Certificate and his MC. These are official documents which both contain the name of his parents (your grandparents). This is to prove that indeed the name Jesus and Jessie belong to one and the same person. Atty. Bulao
Hi good morning. I want to know if affidavit of dicrepancy will be accepted when i get a passport? Kasi yung surname ko is REQUIBO and all my family and sa documents ko yun po talaga ang right spelling . Nung kumuha po ako sa NSO ng birth certificate ko nakalagay is REQUEBO which is wrong. I want to hear from you about my concern. Thank you
Dear Trixie, If the family name of your parents appear in the birth certificate as REQUIBO and yours is REQUEBO, just have the typographical error be corrected at the Office of the Civil Registry where your certificate of birth was filed. Then based on your corrected birth certificate apply for passport. Atty. Bulao Atty. Bulao
Hi good morning. I want to know if affidavit of dicrepancy will be accepted when i get a passport? Kasi yung surname ko is REQUIBO and all my family and sa documents ko yun po talaga ang right spelling . Nung kumuha po ako sa NSO ng birth certificate ko, nakalagay is REQUEBO which is wrong. I want to hear from you about my concern. Thank you
Trixie, you have a nice profile. Where was your picture taken? In Baguio? Thanks Atty. , by the way ,it was taken in tagaytay. 🙂good evening atty.
my mother uses her nickname in voter’s/senior’s id but in my BC it was her complete name. ang problem ko po pag ggawin ko siyang beneficiary baka po di siya maqualify. wala pa daw po kasing BC nung araw kaya po un ung ginamet nia. Bienvenida to Nida poh. pwede po ba two names ang gamitin nia. 6 po kme magkakapatid 2 samin fullname nia ang ginamit..
Nikkha, write her name as “Bienvenida ____________” a.k.a. “Nida _________________”. Just in case they require supporting doc for the a.k.a. just prepre an affidavit of discrepancy stating that Bienvenida _________ and Nida ______________ refer to one and the same person.
Hi Atty Bulao! Good Morning! I submitted a copy of my nso birth certificate to my future employer as one of my pre-employment requirements. However, my employer says that my birth certificate is unclear and very hard to read and because of that, they are asking me to submit an affidavit of name discrepancy when there is no discrepancy or inconsistency of my name in any of my records. Does the concept of affidavit of name discrepancy cover this type of case?
Haydelin Debil MahDear Atty. Jose Angelito B. Bulao. A pleasant day! Nagkaroon po kasi ngproblema ung Birth Certificate ko. Bali po kasi ang nakalagay is “HAYDELIN DEBIL” na dapat po ay “HAYDELIN DEBIL MAH”. Pina-affidavit ko na po ung name ko. Possible po bang makapag apply ako ng passport na gamit ung birth certificate at yung affidavit ko? Looking forward to your kind response. Thank you.
Kind Regards, Haydelin Debil Mah
Goodmorning attorney, may I just inquire if you have a sample affidavit about the error in SEX in my birth certificate. I am Male but what is indicated there was Female. I hope you could help regarding this matter. I am aware of RA 10172 but I really dont know what to do. This is a very big problem for me because I was Rejected in PRC when i file there. they ask me to make a personal affidavit. Can you please provide me a sample? Thank you and Godbless
Dear Angelo, Correction of error re sex is by filing a petition in court. It is not merely a typographical error. For PRC, just submit an affidavit. Follow the format I have in my website. Email to me your draft and I will check it. Atty. Bulao
Good afternoon Atty Bulao, Just want to consult po – my mom will be applying for Schengen visa via French embassy and they require a copy of her birth certificate and marriage certificate. However, her name in both documents doesn’t bear a “Ma.” while her passport and baptismal certificate both bear a “Ma.” Negative finding kasi siya sa NSO though meron siyang birth certificate from the civil registrar. Before, she had an affidavit of two disinterested persons attesting to her birth and the differences in name. Pero, it got lost somehow and we cannot find it now. My question is do you think we can she just execute an affidavit of one & the same person for her passport, birth certificate & marriage certificate or should we execute the affidavit of two disinterested persons also? Thanks in advance.

Ano pong move gagawin ko Atty? maraming salamat po and adv.merry christmas!
More power to you.
Dear Kay, DFA will produce your passport based on your BC. In case you will be asked to explain why your other records have DC middle initial, then you just execute an affidavit of discrepancy similar to the form that I provided. If you want you may draft one and email to me at attybulao@gmail.com and I will check it. Atty. Bulao

Dear Girlie, Just go to the office of civil registry near your place and ask for assistance. They have the form that you will accomplish. Atty. Bulao
Dear Atty. Bulao I’m about to enroll to a law school, kaso nga lang po yung Transcrip of Record ko ay may discrepancy sa name my Birth Certificate is SALUSTIANO S. ANDRES sa mga school record ko is SALUSTIANO P. ANDRES JR. which is yun po sana ang tama magkapangalan kami ng father ko all I thought carry na yun kahit wala jr. na annotation sa BC ko, recently nagpapaspport ako kinorek yung jr. ko na kung gagamit ako ng jr. dapat nakalagay dun. and also my middle initial P po talaga dapat which is my mother family name is PARADERO nung dalaga pa, kaso nakalagay sa BC ko is S. Thank you very much in advance sir,
Sir, can you send me an affidavit of discrepancy regarding on this..Dear Salustiano, You would need the affidavit of discrepancy in case you are asked to explain the discrepancy in your names. Just compose one following the format i provided in my website and go to the nearest notary public for revision and when final, for notarization. Atty. Bulao
Dear Salustiano, I think the defect in your birth certificate is typographical. I suggest you just go to the civil registry where your BC originated and ask them for assistance. They will give you a form which you will accomplish and have the same notarized. Please follow their further advice. Atty. Bulao
Hi po same Tayo, sa annotated part nawala suffix na Jr. full name ko nakalagay. Pero name ng father ko may suffix na Sr. Sa PSA ko.. ano po Yung ginawa niyo Dapat ko bang ipagpatuloy kahit Wala ng suffix na Jr. Or need talaga lagyan?
Your choice. But when needed to explain you present affidavit of discrepancy. Have it always ready. gay marich santiagogoodpm po.. typographical error lang po yun sa akin.. anu po ang ibig sabihin ng TWO DISINTERESTED PERSON? pwede po ba ang kapamilya ko lang, father at sister ko? para po ito sa affidavit of one and the same person.. isa sa requirements ng city hall.. pag nasubmit ko na ba lahat sa city hall, maayos na po name ko pati sa nso? salamat po…..
gay, two disinterested persons refer to two persons, not your relatives, who has personal knowledge of the facts you want to include/correct in your birth certificate. i suggest you go to the civil registry of the place where you were born and get the form and advice. atty. bulao
Sir, ask ko lang po, kung anu po ang gagawin ko, kasi po ang birth certificate ko hindi ko magamit ang name. Ang second father ko ang ipinagamit na pangalan , Baptismal record hanggang marriage certificate ko, lahat po ng legal papers ko ay Cunanan(second father), which my real name indicate on my birth certificate ay Ramos ay hindi ko po magamit. nahihirapan po ako maayos ang lahat ng records ko. Nais ko po sanang sundin na lang ang birth certificate ko..paano ko po ba uumpisahan ang gagawin ko. I need your advice po sana po matulungan nyo ko.Thank you po..God Bless you.
berryfield, i suggest from now on use the surname “ramos”, if possible. if you do not have a passport get one and they will issue you with the name appearing in your passport “ramos”. get driver’s license with the surname “ramos”. with these two government issued ids get bank account using the name “ramos”. with passport and driver’s license as your identity, execute an affidavit of discrepancy or affidavit of identity and always keep this with you. if asked why is it that in this or that document your surname is cunanan then present to them said affidavit as an explanation. good day and god bless. atty. bulao
good evening po:-) Atty Bulao need a legal advise from you po regarding my two different names…my BC has VERONICA as my name, my baptismal bears another name which is NELITA, i even used my baptismal when i got married, therefore NELITA po ang nsa marriage certificate ko…i’m in rush po to fix it kc po attend po ako ng seminar sa Singapore re: K-12 by November this year po, what shall i do po…i really wanted to grab tis opportunity po…please help or advise me po what to do, thank you so much for any help/advise that you could extend me…thanks po:-) GOD BLESS AND MORE POWER!
dear veronica, i presume your passport is in the name of veronica since passport is based on BC. your problem will arise if you are asked at the seminar to present your passport for identiy purposes. you therefore must execute an affidavit of discrepancy and be ready to present this in case you need to explain. this is the purpose of such affidavit. in some cases you might be asked to present an affidavit of two disinterested persons who has personal knowledge of you. execute also this document so that when needed or required you can present the same. atty. bulao
Thess MolinaHi Atty. Jose Angelito B. Bulao, Good evening. May I request po of a sample copy of “JOINT AFFIDAVIT OF TWO DISINTERESTED PERSONS”, being required po kasi ng school where i graduated to correct my first name. Thank you and God bless you po.
dear thess, you have a beautiful name. i will send you a sample later. please remind me again. atty. bulao
Good day, Attorney. In all my school records, mayroon po akong middle initial na gamit but two years ago, I belatedly found out na wala po pala akong middle initial sa NSO birth certificate ko. My mom is a single parent kaya po surname niya ang gamit ko. Ito po bang affidavit of discrepancy ay pwede kong magamit in applying for a passport? I’m worried po kasi that DFA might reject my application without this. Salamat po in advance.
mark, the dfa will based the passport on the name appearing in the birth certificate. if your father did not sign the acknowledgement portion then your passport will use the family name of your mother and you will have no initial. atty. bulao
Renato PerezGood pm atty, ask ko lang po about my passport. Eversince nagka passport ako, Renato C. Perez jr na nakalagay. Pero ang name ko talaga ay Renato Alberto C. Perez jr. Yun po ang nasa NSO birth cert. ko. Parents ko kasi nag lakad ng passport dati nung bata pa ako. Ngayon, nag aaply ako ng immigrant visa sa canada. Paano ko po iccorrect name ko?
renato, how about getting a new passport. tell dfa you lost your passport. submit affidavit of loss. and submit your birth certificate. they will issue to you a new passport based on your birth certificate. i wonder why your passport now does not conform to your birth certificate. atty. bulao

mishiell
mishiell, dfa will use the name appearing in the birth certificate. just keep ready the affidavit of one and the same person because you might need it when asked to explain why there is a discrepancy in the name appearing in your passport and that appearing in your other documents. atty. bulao
Hi Atty Bulao, Good day. Itatanong ko po sana kng pwede na yung affidavit of discrepancy dun po sa mali kong middle name. Sa NSO birth certificate ko pa kasi Uy po nakasulat.

nonoy, if vy talaga ang dapat na middle name nyo at hindi uy, please go to your civil registry and request them help to make correction of the typographical error. you will accomplish a form which shall be notarized and submitted to them. atty. bulao
Atty. Jose Angelito B. Bulao
Good day po. Nais ko po sanang humingi ng advice regarding my school records. Since elementary school years ko po kasi mali yung nagamit ko na year of birth. Dapat po ay 1981, sa school records ko po ay 1982. During my college years, dahil wala kami mahanap na birth certificate, nagpagawa po ang mother ko ng late registration. In that document, 1982 ang year of birth kaya lang mali yung spelling ng surname (maiden name) ng mother ko. So using that document, nagsubmit ako ng personal affidavit at joint affidavit of two disinterested persons sa aking school upang isunod ang middle name ko sa maling spelling ng surname ng mother ko sa late registration birth certificate. Kaya nanatiling 1982 na yung birth year ko at sinunod ko yung maling spelling na surname ng mother ko sa aking school records. After 5 years of working, nakakuha ako ng certificate of live birth dito sa NSO Manila kung saan lumilitaw na 1981 talaga ako ipinanganak at doon tama ang spelling ng apelyido ng mother ko. Naipa-correct ko na po ang PRC, SSS, TIN, at Philhealth records ko alinsunod sa nakuha kong NSO birth certificate. Ang problema ko po ngayon ay ang aking school records. Pwede ko po ba ipawalang bisa yung sinumbit ko dati na personal affidavit at joint affidavit of two disinterested persons on the basis of my NSO certificate of live birth? Ano po ang dapat kong gawin? Maraming salamat po.
