An NSO or PSA Certified Birth Certificate is one of the most important documents that you should furnish from the government. Birth certificates are needed for employment, school, and to request other IDs. So, to get 1 valid ID, you should submit 2 valid IDs. Hahaha. Despite the fast technology, let's accept the reality that requesting documents from the government agencies needs more time and effort. To resolve this old problem, government agencies like NBI, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, DFA, and other offices placed their kiosk inside the SM Supermalls and Robinsons nationwide.
Yesterday, as a school requirement, my sister asked me to get a copy of her original NSO birth certificate. I was thinking that NSO birth certificates can still be requested from the National Statistics Office on East Avenue, Quezon City; I've been there several times to get my own copy, but nowadays, it's simpler. After research, I found out that NSO birth certificates can also be requested from SM Supermalls, again, that's nationwide. I chose SM Megamall, 3rd Floor, together with the payment centers.
How to Request an NSO Birth Certificate at SM:
- Get the NSO form from the customer service and fill it out.
- Information needed is are complete name, mother's maiden name, date of birth, and place of birth.
Upon claiming, please take note that if you are requesting for your parents and sisters, no need for an authorization letter, but if you are requesting/claiAn ming for your pamangkins and other relatives, you need to bring an authorization letter and a valid ID of the owner and the representative/requester. Processing will be 7 working days!

This is a really helpful post about getting your NSO birth certificate. When you’re preparing important documents like that, don’t forget your NBI clearance—it’s often needed for a lot of applications these days. If your clearance is about to expire, renewing it online can save you a lot of time and hassle compared to going in person.
