    It takes weeks to arrive in the UK and you pay $25 for the privilege. After you have placed the order you can contact e-census and ask them to courier it to you but I guess there is an extra charge for that.

    For most purposes it is better that your better half in the Philippines (or someone else in the Philippines) makes the request for delivery to a Philippines address.

    My son Alex needs one to reclaim his Philippines citizenship under the dual nationality rules, so it is worth it for him.

    I mentioned in the knowledge you are going to The Philippines this Xmas. I think anyone can order someone else's cenomar, but there are restrictions on who can order birth certificates.

    Either Merthersgate or his son can order his Birth Certificate online and have it delivered to his partner's parents' farm from where Merthersgate can collect it, bring it home and hand to Alex.

    You would think so! However, in a classic example of Philippines bureaucracy, the payment system for requests from outside the Philippines to be delivered outside the Philippines is different to that for payment from within the Philippines - the latter does not envisage the use of a credit card - and as The Teach says, I can order my son's NSO birth certificate but my partner cannot!

    Aaargh!

    Oh that's nothing, New South Wales has even stupider bureaucrats! My father was born in Sydney but the NSW Registrar will only issue copies of Birth Certificates to persons named on that certificate. In other words, either my father or his parents. They're all dead!

    Not sure you can do that. I think the stipulation is that receipt of a birth certificate has to be signed for by the person placing the order.

    e-census uses LBC in delivering NSO authenticated birth certificates and CENOMAR within the Philippines. In my case back then, I made an authorization letter to someone who is always at home to receive my document. The delivery guy didn't even bother to confirm the person receiving my birth certificate. o_O

    I was worried Anne, that my fiancée would not be able to receive my Cenomar so I got her to order it separately from her own birth certificate and Cenomar. All were delivered to her place of work.

    In the case of my Cenomar, it was just left with the security guard but her papers were signed for by her boss who, I think, had to provide ID.

    Did they hand over your CENOMAR to her boss?

    Her Cenomar and birth certificate were on the same order form and all paid for together, but delivered is separate envelopes. I placed the order on my PC in the UK but in her name. She paid at her bank.

    Now I remember that her Cenomar was left with the security guard but her birth certificate was signed for by her boss. Both were delivered the same day.

    Once her documents had been received, I placed a second order (again in her name) for my Cenomar. That Cenomar was left with the security guard (not her boss)

    I can see that it made no sense having her boss sign to receive the birth certificate. Not unless with an authorization letter coming from your loved one.

    My fiancée gave no authorisation for anyone else to sign for the birth certificate but, although she is allowed to receive mail at work, she cannot take herself away from duties to sign for a letter. I guess that is why LBC (or whoever delivered the letter) allowed her boss to sign. Strictly speaking, I don't think her boss should have been allowed to sign.
