NSO Birth Certificate is one of the most important documents which every Filipino citizen should have. Whenever you'll apply for a job, register to a school or even apply for a bank account you will always need this document.
Unluckily, acquiring for an NSO Birth Certificate needs a lot of effort and time. Regional NSO Offices are usually open from Monday to Friday starting at 7:00 am. Some NSO Birth Certificate applicants would even go to NSO Offices during dawn just to have a better position in the priority queue. Most of the time, applicants will be able to get their certificate already in the afternoon.
The best way to acquire an NSO Birth Certificate is through online. All you have to do is to go to the E-Census Website and file your application there. In this way, you will be able to save time since it is much easier and you also won't have to exert a lot of effort. The only drawback is that you'll have to wait it for 3-10 working days to be delivered in your address.
Furthermore, if you're really on a hurry then the best decision for you is to have the old traditional way (go to your nearest NSO Regional Office) which probably would take your whole day just to acquire it. But if you still have plenty of time then the wiser decision is to acquire the NSO Birth Certificate through the use of the Internet.
