Back in the days when you need to fall in line for almost a day just to get your authenticated NSO/PSA Birth Certificate needed for your job or school. I remember when I was applying abroad and I need to provide the agency with my authenticated NSO/PSA Birth Certificate as part of the requirements.
I visited PSA regional office branch in Legazpi, I have no idea that it would be crowded in the PSA office that time, so I go almost 9 am. I’m a little bit upset when I saw the queue of applicants reach outside the building.
I have no choice but to fall in line, and when I arrive at the counter to submit my application for Birth certificate, there’s no time to process my request and I need to go back again the next day to get the certificate.

This is very time consuming and expensive. We are lucky today because the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) formerly National Statistics Office (NSO) launched their website where you can apply and get your desired certificate online. Not only that, they also partnered with Pilipinas Teleserv a call center agency where you can also apply for NSO/PSA certificate.
As of this writing we have two official websites where we can apply for NSO certificates. The ecensus.com.ph by Unisys and the nsohelpline.com by Pilipinas Teleserv, you can choose either of these two websites to apply for your PSA certificate.
But while searching online, I found some negative feedback when they apply using e-Census website like the certificate they requested did not arrive.

To avoid confusion, I will use the NSO Helpline in this instruction. There are three basic steps to request an NSO certificate in this website, Order Now, Pay Online and Check Status. But in my instruction I list down every step with screenshot to make it easy to follow.
Step 1. Go to NSO helpline, website www.nsohelpline.com then click on the order now section.
Step 2. Select the NSO certificate that you want to request to get started. In this instruction, I will choose Birth Certificate.
Step 3. Next, Select the purpose of your certificate or where do you need the certificate.
Step 4. If this is your first time to apply for a copy of your certificate select “No” else select “Yes”
Step 5. Fill out the Certificate Application Form completely, then click Continue.
Step 6. If you have any legal proceedings like legitimation, adoption, court hearings, etc. You can now select in this step if not click “None”.
Step 7. Enter the name of the recipient or the person who will receive the certificate. Put your name if you’re the one who will receive, then click submit.
Step 8. Double check your order summary on the left side of the screen, then on the right enter your Contact Info and Delivery Address. On the bottom part the “Checkout Summary”, certify all your entries by ticking the checkbox then click continue.
