Report of Birth of a child whose parent is a Filipino citizen

The report of birth is a declaration of the person furnishing information on the birth abroad of a Filipino child. It is important for Filipinos permanently residing abroad to promptly register with the Philippine Embassy or the Philippine Consulate General the birth of a child in order for such a birth to be registered with the Office of the Civil Registrar General in Manila.
When a child is born abroad to parents who are both Filipino citizens or to one (1) parent who is a Filipino citizen, i.e. one who has not been naturalized as a citizen of a foreign country, the child's birth must be immediately reported to the Philippine Embassy or Consulate that exercises jurisdiction over the place of birth.
A report of birth after twelve (12) months from the date of birth may be recorded upon the determination of the consular officer of satisfactory evidence on the authenticity of the report. In this case, the person who executed the report shall furnish the Embassy or Consulate with an explanation surrounding the delay in reporting the birth.
