Filipinos working abroad often face a recurring challenge: obtaining essential PSA documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, or CENOMAR. Every visa application, school enrollment, or legal transaction requires these official records. Being thousands of miles away from home makes the process stressful. Many OFWs rely on family members to secure these documents, which can cause delays and miscommunication.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is addressing this challenge. Through its authorized partner, PSAHelpline.ph, OFWs can now request official PSA documents online and prepare them for international delivery. The service eliminates the need for intermediaries, allowing Filipinos abroad to manage their requirements directly and securely from a phone or laptop.

PSAHelpline.ph specifically caters to the lifestyle of overseas Filipino workers. The platform accommodates shifting schedules, time zone differences, and the need to balance work and family responsibilities. Its online system is simple and secure, letting OFWs request documents at any time without depending on anyone back home.
This service ensures that official documents are handled efficiently from the point of request to preparation. Users can complete the entire application digitally while retaining control over the shipping process.
Secure Identity Verification for Peace of Mind
PSAHelpline.ph implements strict identity verification to protect applicants. Users undergo a liveness check and upload a valid ID to confirm their identity. This step ensures that only the authorized person can request and release the documents.
For OFWs concerned about scams and fraud, this secure verification process offers significant reassurance. It protects sensitive information while enabling the official release of PSA certificates.
View Digital PSA Certificates Before Shipping
After completing identity verification, applicants gain access to a digital copy of the requested PSA certificate. The E-Cert preview allows users to check details and annotations before arranging international shipping.
This feature is particularly useful for urgent needs, such as online transactions, visa applications, or immediate document renewals. By providing a digital preview, PSAHelpline.ph ensures that applicants can verify accuracy and avoid errors before the physical document is sent abroad.
Flexible Courier Options for International Delivery
PSAHelpline.ph gives applicants full control over international shipping. Users can choose a courier that best suits their location and budget, whether it is DHL, FedEx, or a trusted local provider. Applicants must book and pay for the delivery directly with their chosen courier.
Once the PSA prepares and seals the documents, they are handed over safely to the selected courier. Users receive tracking information from the courier, enabling them to monitor the shipment from preparation to delivery. This flexibility ensures security, cost control, and timely receipt of important documents.
