It is important to indicate the DATE and PLACE of the MARRIAGE of the PARENTS in the child’s BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Bonjour. Mabuhay.

Ready to become a parent?

You should also be ready to properly document the certificate of live birth of your child.

Pertaining to the child’s legitimacy, note the following facts below:

===============================================

- It is extremely important that this item (Item 18) is not left blank, otherwise, the legitimacy of the child will be questioned.

- If the parents have forgotten the exact date of their marriage, enter the approximate year. If they cannot approximate the year, enter “forgotten”.

- Enter “Not Applicable” if the child has unknown father or mother.

- Enter “Unknown”, “Don’t Know” or “D.K.” if the informant could not supply the information.

- Enter “Not Married” if the parents of the child are not legally married on or before the birth of the child and their names appeared in Item 6 and Item 13.
