The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco informs the public that it accepts Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) E-Certificates for passport, dual citizenship, and select civil registration services.
PSA E-Certificates may be ordered online through psahelpline.ph and carry the same legal validity as the traditional copy printed on security paper. Applicants who intend to submit E-Certificates should secure a copy of the E-Certificate shortly before their appointment at the Consulate. The E-Certificates can be verified online only for a limited period after its issuance.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to order a PSA E-Certificate with a DFA electronic Apostille (eApostille) through apostille.psahelpline.ph. Online verification of PSA E-Certificates with eApostille has no expiration.
Acceptance of PSA E-Certificates is being gradually implemented across the Consulate’s consular services. Clients are also encouraged to contact the Consulate to ask information on the acceptance of E-Certificate for some civil registration services. The Consulate will continue to accept the traditional PSA document printed on security paper issued in Manila, Philippines.
For more information or contact the Consulate through its official communication channels. END
