    Correction of Clerical Error

    Error to be corrected: Misspelled first name

    Timeline: 2 to 5 months but this can vary

    Cost: 1,000 for the petition but notarization and other document processing
    fees may bring it up to 2,000.

    Requirements: Documents needed are the Philippine Statistics Authority


    Birth Certificate (SECPA) and at least 2 of the following:
     Voter’s Affidavit
     Employment Record
     GSIS Record
     SSS Record
     Medical Record
     Business Record
     School Record
     Driver’s License
     Insurance
     Civil Registry records of ascendants
     Land Titles
     Certificate of Land Transfer
     NBI/Police Clearance
     To be honest, given what I’ve seen of the Local Civil Registrars, I would
    prefer to present as many documents that support my case. Some petitions
    do get disapproved, mostly for lack of convincing evidence.

    Process:
     Go to the Local Civil Registrar and verify that a Correction of Clerical Entry is
    what you need to file. Also ask for the documents required.
     You’ll need to fill up the form, attach your documents, and submit this
    during your interview with the Local Civil Registrar.
     Pay the fees at local treasury office.
     Present your receipt at the Local Civil Registrar.
     Return to pick up your approved petition.
     Mail your approved petition to the Office of the Civil Registrar General and
    make sure you keep the receipt of the forwarder/courier together with the
    duplicate copy of the mailed documents.
     Follow up with the Local Civil Registrar for the decision of the Office of the
    Civil Registrar General. An approved petition will allow you to get a
    Certificate of Finality.
     Mail your Certificate of Finality to the Office of the Civil Registrar General
    along with additional records such as the Endorsement letter, etc.
     You can then get your annotated Birth Certificate from the PSA
