Welcome to Department of Foreign Affairs - Office of Consular Affairs Apostille for PSA Certificates

A unified platform to request your PSA civil registry documents and have them securely apostilled by the DFA-OCA in electronic or physical format.

Reminders Before Proceeding

1

Check with the end-user first

Ensure the receiving party will accept an e-Apostille and a PSA e-Certificate before submitting your request.

2

Format Based on Destination Country

If the destination country is a member of the Apostille Convention, you will receive a digital e-Apostille. For non-member countries, your PSA Certificate will be printed on SECPA and delivered along with a physical Certificate of Authentication.

3

Single Payment Gateway

You will make a single payment through Landbank LinkBiz which covers both the PSA certificate processing and the apostille.

4

Optional Uploading of LCR Copy

If you are aware that your PSA document has unreadable entries, you may upload the Local Civil Registrar (LCR Copy) of your Birth Certificate (Form 1A)/ Marriage Certificate (Form 3A) to avoid possible delays on your application.

5

Email & SMS Notifications

You will receive notifications when the e-Cert is forwarded, and your e-Apostille will be sent to the exact email address used during application.
