Don’t you just love technology, especially when you don’t have to line up for hours just to get a single documents they can print in seconds? I never tried lining up in NSO just to get my birth certificate. I just order my birth certificate through the NSO Hotline and pay for the corresponding fees. When I found out you can order online (I don’t have a landline since there’s no use for me anyway), I’m happy.
I finally got a chance to try the online facility of NSO. My husband needs a NSO-certified birth certificate so I decided to give it a try – and it’s easy! Here is a step-by-step by guide on how to apply for your NSO birth certificate online. 
1. Go to https://nsohelpline.com/ and click Order Now.
2. You will be directed to a page that allows you to choose what type of document you need. Click Birth Certificate. 
3. The next screen will ask the purpose for such application. Choose the corresponding answer. 
4. The next screens will ask you whether you applied for a birth certificate before and if you are able to get it. Answer accordingly. 
5. Then, you will be asked to fill out several information about yourself such as name, birth details and parents’ names. Click Submit. 
6. If you had any legal proceedings done in your birth certificate, disclose it. In this case, my husband had no legal proceedings done to his so I just clicked None. I’m not sure what happens if you clicked any of the options below the ‘Examples of Legal Proceedings.’ 
7. Next, fill out the information as to who will receive the birth certificate upon delivery. If the person requesting the document will not be the one to receive it, the person authorized must present an ID or photocopy of it once the document is delivered. 
8. Proceed to Checkout. The information you provided will be summarized on the left part of the screen then don’t forget to input the delivery address. Click Continue. 
9. Choose your Payment Options. 
10. Pay for the corresponding fees and wait for your birth certificate to be delivered.
What do you think? Easy, right? And way more convenient too! I hope this post helps!

Easy STEPS indeed.
I never tried NSO online before. I would always go to NSO or city hall for our birth certificates š
Me naman I haven’t tried lining up. Hehehe. Mahaba ba ang pila?
This is so cool. I know they do this abroad but didn’t know they have it in Manila na din! Super convenient! Thanks for sharing!
Really? Baka nauna pa ata abroad. hehehe.
Thank you for sharing! I have been relying on this service for a while now. And it was blog posts like yours that helped me discover it! Great tutorial š I love how easy they’ve made it. No more waiting in long lines! š
Thank you š
I love the convenience of ordering these documents online. I’ve tried it a number of times already and like you, I haven’t tried falling in line for it. Hehe
I agree. Really thankful for this kasi hassle pumila! Hehe
So easy! So unfair to those like us who spent a whole day just lining up haha! I already have an NSO birth certificate, but I’m really curious to do the process. How long before it gets delivered?
2-3 days after payment š Mabilis lang naman, as long as you have a previous request already. It took a week for my youngest to get the birth certificate delivered kasi it was our first time š
I already requested for a copy! Wala lang, gusto ko lang i-try talaga haha
It’s nice how technology can really help us moms these days, cutting those necessary trips off from the list.
I agree. Saves us time too š
We’re in the process of getting our bunso’s NSO copy na. But I’m so tamad to pay over the counter sa bank!
You can pay through credit card š Less hassle š
helpful stuff esp now that its travel season š
Yes š And saves us more time too, which is why it is recommended š
Thanks for sharing mommy. Very helpful indeed.
I have already ordered birth and marriage ceritificates from NSO online several times. It really saves a lot of time and energy š
I already tried this service and yeah it’s very convenient.
That’s how we got our birth certificate, cenomar, marriage certificate, then my baby’s bc. Yes, very convenient indeed.
So easy no? Been using online ever since to get certificates and sched for passport renewal
Ang tiyaga mo!!
Nako, ako – I just call!! Hahaha….
the online NSO service sure is very convenient, especially for busy mums like us. i tried lining up at NSO for hours to get a document + there is no way I’d want to endure that again!
I was able to do this a couple of times already. Convenient talaga.
I’ve done this several time already. So easy and convenient!
Finally, getting these documents have become fast and easy. I hope the government will automate the other agencies as well to cut on red tape.
