How To Change Incorrect Middle Name On Your NSO BC?
This could be late but I think this might be helpful for some of you guys who is also experiencing the same problem about their NSO birth certificate. This has been a common issue with our live birth certificate, some has wrong spellings, incorrect gender or incorrect date of birth.
I never had problems before with my birth certificate until I graduated and went to SSS, Social Security Service to get my own SSS ID number. As part of the requirements, I brought with me my filled up form, NSO authenticated BC and some identification cards as well. The teller then made a quick scan on those documents and stopped when she noticed that the middle name on my NSO BC is Butihan instead of Butihen. She then let me change it on the form and told me that I need to make some move to correct it.
Before, it was a pain in the ass when you want to change something on your 'BC' because you need to get a personal attorney, set a public hearing and spend money, above all time to update it. Thanks to Republic Act No. 9048 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the municipal registrar is already authorized to correct a clerical error without judicial order.
So I immediately informed my parents about it, my mom has to do the revision herself since we need to report it on the local municipality where I was registered. When mom went to our local municipal office, she was given a list of requirements needed so to correct my middle name, requirements which will testify that Butihen is the correct one.
Here are some of the documents I passed:
> Baptismal Certificate
> NSO authenticated Birth Certificate (this is the copy with the errors)
> Parents' birth certificates
> Parents' marriage contract
> School Records
> Employment Records

Copies of all these requirements were sent via LBC to NSO Manila office by our municipal registrar officer, Ms. Gran. After a month or so, the new NSO authenticated Birth Certificate was sent back to us with the disclaimer on the right side:

Alright! Next step is to update my SSS record, I haven't set a date yet to process it but hopefully I would be able to do it, I'm gonna make sure to document my experience soon too.

how about if your/me name baptismal certificate is wrong spelling? how would you/me correct that? Can you help how to correct wrong spelling in baptismal certificate and what are the requirements? Thanks.
@anon: i believe the requirements would be the same. It would be best if you can go to the municipal office where you were registered. They will provide you the complete list of requirements!
Good luck!
how long does it take? to get your correct birth certicate.
@anon: it would actually take at least a month...
Could i do a follow up at the nso office for the filed correction if name?if yes, how? Tnx
Hi! My nso problem is the same about you but i already have a passport which is correct! I'm here in Japan and planning to get merried to a japanese citizen apparently this problem came out that my local birthcertificate has a wrong spelling with my middle initial! How was i going to fix it fast coz my visa will be expired 3weeks soon! Please help me with your advise about my concern! Thank you very much
HI can i ask If how many months po kayo naghintay bago mo po nakuha yung NSO niyo po na may R.a Correction na po thank you po ..
hi ms. jean beltran :) newly graduate po ako..hindi ako makapag-apply kasi yung NSO BC like you wrong spelling yung middle name ko po,,pwede po ba ko mag-apply sa sss, pag-ibig pero ang gagamitin ko po yung correct middle name ko ?? or kung ano yung nasa NSO BC ko po??
hi gege, i would suggest you correct your name on your birth certificate first para naman pag nag apply kana, wala ng problema...
I believe you can use your correct middle name but if the personnel find out na hindi sila compatible nung nasa NSO birth certificate, ipapagamit nila yung kung anong nasa NSO, that was how my experience went then. but don't worry madali lang magpa update ng name sa sss once corrected na yung NSO mo. check this post... http://www.jeanbeltran.info/2011/11/how-to-update-incorrect-sss-name.html
thank you ms. jean :)
no problem gege! glad i was able to help
hi jean ask ko lang kung gaano katagal yung process mula noong ipinaayos mo ang bc mo hanggang sa na-correct na ito. thanks!
hi jhill.. 1 month lang at nakuha ko na ito agad.
Hi Jean,
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have also problem wih my birthcert ang given name ng mother ko nasobrahan ng letter S, instead Marites lang naging Maritess sa birth cert ko. Ang hassle kc magpapalegalized sana ako ng cenomar sa isang embassy tapos napansin ang name ng mama ko. Hindi tuloy tinanggap. Sana madali lang proseso ngyon.
