PSA Online Viewable Service- Filipinos Can Now View Birth Marriage and Death Certificates Online
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has launched a new way for Filipinos to see their important records. These include birth, marriage, and death certificates. People no longer need to always visit PSA offices just to check these records. Instead, they can now view them online.
This online option is meant to make things faster and easier for everyone. With just a few clicks, individuals can check their official documents anytime, anywhere. This is very helpful for those who are busy or live far from PSA branches.
The online viewing service also covers more than just birth and marriage certificates. Filipinos can also request to view a Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) and a Certificate of No Death (CENODEATH). All these can now be accessed using a secure online code.
Filipinos can now view their birth, marriage, death, CENOMAR, and CENODEATH certificates online through the PSA Serbilis Website. Each record is accessible for 60 days using a unique access code. Fees are ₱130 for birth, marriage, and death certificates, and ₱185 for CENOMAR or CENODEATH. Payments are made at PSA CRS outlets without an appointment. After applying on the Serbilis site, paying the fee, and receiving the code, users can securely view their certificates online. Note that these digital copies are for viewing only and not valid as official printed documents.
What is the PSA Online Viewing Service?
The PSA’s online viewing system is called the Viewable Online Service. It allows Filipinos to see their certificate records on a computer or mobile phone. The copy is not printed on security paper, but it is an official digital image of the record.
The access to each online record lasts for 60 days. After that, the code expires, and if needed, you will have to request again.
