What should we do in order to correct the date of birth of my mother in her birth certificate?
ANSWER:
There are two ways in correcting
dates of birth in one’s certificate of live birth. One is through judicial
process by filing a petition for correction of entry before the court in
accordance with Rule 108 of the Rules of Court and the other is through administrative
process by filing a petition at the Local Civil Registry Office in accordance
with Republic Act (R.A.) No.9048 and R.A. No. 10172.
If the error in the date of birth
of your mother pertains to the day or month of birth only, she may have the
same corrected by filing a petition for correction of entry before the Local
Civil Registry of the place where her birth certificate is registered. However,
if she has migrated to another place within the Philippines and it is not
practical for her, in terms of transportation expenses, time and effort to
appear before the local civil registry office of her place of birth, she may
opt to file her petition with the local civil registry office where she is
residing or domiciled (Rule 4, Implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A. No.
10172). The petition shall be supported by the following documents: (1)
Certified true machine copy of her birth certificate or of the page of the
registry book containing the entry or entries sought to be corrected or
changed; (2) At least two public or private documents showing the correct entry
or entries upon which the correction or change shall be based; and (3) Other
documents which the petitioner or the city or municipal civil registrar or the
consul general may consider relevant and necessary for the approval of the
petition. In addition, the petition shall be accompanied by your mother’s
earliest school record or earliest school documents such as, but not limited
to, medical records, baptismal certificate and other documents issued by
religious authorities. She shall also submit a certification from the
appropriate law enforcements, agencies that she has no pending case or no
criminal record. The petition shall likewise be published at least once a week
for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation (Section 3, RA
No. 10172).
However, if the error involved is
your mother’s year of birth, she shall need to file a petition for correction
of entry before the Regional Trial Court of the place where her certificate of
live birth was registered (Section 1, Rule 108, Rules of Court). The civil
registrar and all persons who have or claim any interest which would be
affected by the change shall be made parties to the petition. (Section 3,
Ibid.) Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall, by an order, fix the
time and place for the hearing of the same, and cause reasonable notice thereof
to be given to the persons named in the petition. The court shall also cause
the order to be published once a week for three consecutive weeks in a
newspaper of general circulation in your province. (Section 4, Id.) If the
court is convinced with the petition, after hearing, it shall issue an order
granting the correction prayed for.
