DepEd Clarifies: NSO Birth Certificate is not a requirement for enrolment

Department of Education (DepEd ) clarified that NSO or PSA birth certificate is not a requirement for the enrollment of a learner to a school.

Meanwhile, it seems that there are many parents who are into taking a PSA birth certificate certified by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) for the enrollment of their child at school. The DepEd has recently made a clarification regarding the requiring of birth certificate in schools.

As posted in Facebook page of 102.9 Brigada News Fm Daet Camarines Norte, the DepEd has made a clarification that the students are not obliged to submit a PSA-certified birth certificate during the enrollment. 

The Department of Education has clarified that learners are not obliged to submit a birth certificate from the Philippine Statistics Authority for the enrollment of children.

Based on the post, parents need to go to Naga or Legaspi City to be able to have it and the fee has increased following the implementation of the TRAIN Law.

Amad stressed that birth certificate from the Local Civil Registrar is already enough and there is no need for the parents to take PSA Certified Birth Certificates of their children for the enrollment.


DepEd also made it clear that there is really no enrollment this year (referring to school year break), as the students are automatically enrolled that is why teachers are encouraged to post the list of the names of students during the ‘Brigada Eskwela’ period.
