PSAHelpline.ph, the first and longest-running certificate ordering and delivery platform authorized by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), marks its 25th year this June. Launched in 2000 as NSO Helpline Plus, the service began as a call-in hotline (737-1111) that allowed Filipinos to request birth, marriage, death, and Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) documents without visiting a PSA outlet. Since its launch, it has aimed to make civil registry services more accessible, secure, and convenient for the public.

In 2011, the service expanded online, allowing users to request PSA certificates through desktops or mobile devices. When the National Statistics Office became the Philippine Statistics Authority in 2013, the platform was renamed PSAHelpline.ph. The service has since grown into a full online channel, now offering Certificates of No Death (CENODEATH) and issuing QR-coded certificates for improved security and verification.

As the demand for online government services grew, PSAHelpline.ph continuously improved its features to meet the needs of its users. The website allows users to request copies of birth certificate, marriage certificate, death certificate, or CENOMAR with just a few clicks—no need for a PSA online appointment. Payment can be made through various methods including over-the-counter transactions, credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, and online banking. Once payment is confirmed, users simply wait for their PSA delivery to arrive at their doorstep. Delivery typically takes 2 to 3 business days within Metro Manila and 3 to 8 business days for provincial locations.

Security and privacy have always been a top priority for PSAHelpline.ph. To protect the applicant’s personal information, strict delivery protocols are in place, including requiring personal receipt of documents and the presentation of valid identification. For those who may not be available to receive their PSA certificate at home, there is the option to pick up the document from select National Book Store or Robinsons Department Store branches. A complete list of these locations is available on the website.

In its commitment to innovation and security, PSAHelpline.ph now issues PSA certificates with QR codes, ensuring authenticity and improving verification processes. The platform also now accepts requests for the PSA Certificate of No Death (CENODEATH), offering even greater convenience to users who require this document.

Customer support is a cornerstone of the PSAHelpline.ph experience. Users can reach out through the hotline (available Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 5 PM, except holidays) or email support, which operates 24/7. Whether for checking order status, updating delivery details, or answering general inquiries, the dedicated support team is always ready to assist.

PSAHelpline.ph continues to be the fastest, most reliable platform for ordering PSA certificates online. Backed by 25 years of experience and trusted by millions of Filipinos, PSAHelpline.ph remains committed to bringing the services of the Philippine Statistics Authority closer to the people—delivering convenience, security, and peace of mind.
