The Philippine Statistics Authority has now made it easier and more convenient for Filipinos to view a copy of their birth certificate, marriage certificate, death certificate, CENOMAR, and CENODEATH via the PSA Serbilis portal, or have the documents delivered to their place.
They can also have these documents printed via DocPrint at PSA Civil Registry Outlets without the need for an appointment using the Civil Registration Service Appointment System.
How can I Request for a Viewable Online Copy of a Document via the Serbilis Webiste?
Step 1: Say you want to view a document online, simply go to this website and hover over GET PSA CERTIFICATE, then click Viewable Online.
Step 2: Choose which document you need by clicking on its corresponding REQUEST NOW button.
Step 3: Agree to the terms and conditions by clicking on the checkboxes, and then clicking NEXT.
Step 4: Fill in all the required fields (in this example, for a Birth Certificate), then click NEXT.
Step 5: Ensure that all details are correct, then click CONFIRM.
Step 6: Once again, fill in all the required fields, this time, for the requester.
Step 7: Ensure that all details are correct, then click CONFIRM.
Step 8: You will be shown a summary of your request, click NEXT.

Step 10: You will be shown the acknowledgement page with all the details, along with instructions on what to do next.
