RA 10172 (Correction of Sex and Date and Month of birth in the Certificate of Live Birth)

An Act Further Authorizing the City or Municipal Civil Registrar or the Consul General to Correct Clerical or Typographical Errors in the Day and Month in the Date of Birth or Sex of a Person Appearing in the Civil Register Without Need of a Judicial Order, Amending for this Purpose Act Numbered Ninety Forty-Eight.

Good news! Error in the SEX and DATE and MONTH of birth in the Certificate of Live Birth, can now be corrected in the Civil Registrar's Office. This means, goodbye to lengthy and expensive court petitions, court hearings and court proceedings!

As a processing clerk for RA 10172 and RA 9048, i have to deal with these matters 5 times a week, 8 hours a day!

I will be posting lots about these more in the following days. For questions, you can leave a comment or email us at ccrozamboangacity@yahoo.com.ph.
