Death certificate

Documents, costs and steps for this service.

Back to services

For a civil event already registered and available in PSA records. A recent / missing record may first need endorsement by the local civil registrar.

Cost / amount:
  • PSA Serbilis domestic paper delivery: ₱330 for the first copy
  • Additional copy of the same certificate in the same request: ₱280
  • These are delivery-channel charges; a PSA outlet / other channel has its own published price
Processing time:
  • PSA Serbilis provincial delivery: normally 6–8 working days after payment; check the NCR delivery schedule at checkout
  • Manual record retrieval can add 10–15 working days; an unendorsed / missing record takes longer
How to start:
  • Order online for delivery, or book a PSA Civil Registry System outlet appointment

Where to apply

Online delivery through PSA Serbilis, or a PSA Civil Registry System (CRS) outlet. Corrections / missing local registration go to the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO) first.

What to bring

  • Correct civil-record details

    Deceased person’s name, date and place of death

  • Requester’s valid ID and eligible relationship / authority

    Use the receiving channel’s accepted ID list. For another person’s record, prepare the authorization and requester / owner identity documents required for that relationship. A death-record request uses the requester’s identity, not a demand that the deceased appear.

  • Delivery address, contact and payment reference

    Check the authorized recipient rules before payment and keep the request reference.

How to apply

  1. 1
    Enter the record and requester details

    Use the names and event details exactly as registered. Check the number of copies and purpose.

    Open the official service

  2. 2
    Check the channel price, pay and track

    Pay using the generated reference. Delivery timing starts after confirmed payment; use the official tracker rather than placing another request.

  3. 3
    Receive with the required ID / authority

    Have the eligible recipient ready with the channel’s required ID and authorization. Check the received certificate.

  4. 4
    If no record / wrong details, follow the civil-registry route

    Ask the LCRO where the event was registered about endorsement, delayed registration or the appropriate correction petition. Repeated delivery orders will not correct the record.
