Provincial Electronic Endorsements
Electronic Endorsement is a process wherein registered documents are submitted through electronic machine at the Civil Registry System (CRS) outlet. These endorsed documents are scanned and sent to Philippine Statistics Authority’s (PSA) Civil Registry Management Division (CRMD) at the Central Office for approval. Once approved it can be printed out in any CRS outlet after 10 to 15 working days. These documents could be an advance copy or a request for clearer copy of the document owner if he/she wishes to, or if minor by any of the parents.
Documents for electronic endorsements can pass through the PSA-provincial offices to be submitted to PSA-Regional Office. Consequently, the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) or a client may directly submit them to the same office for approval.
