The PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority) birth certificate, formerly issued by the NSO (National Statistics Office), is the Philippine official record of birth. It is printed on PSA security paper and contains your full name, date and place of birth, parents' names, and civil registry details. ICA requires a certified English translation of the PSA birth certificate for all PR applications, Dependent Pass applications, LTVP, and MOE school enrolment.

Our translators are familiar with the PSA security paper format, the civil registry number system, and the distinction between the old NSO format and the current PSA-issued certificates. We translate the complete document including all marginal annotations, corrections, and endorsements that appear on the original.

The PSA marriage certificate records the marriage solemnised in the Philippines and is issued on PSA security paper with a civil registry number. For Filipino nationals marrying in Singapore, or applying for a Dependent Pass for a Filipino spouse, ICA and ROM require a certified English translation of the PSA marriage certificate.

Philippine marriage certificates often contain church details, witness names in Filipino, and province-specific registry information. We translate all fields completely, preserving the exact structure of the original PSA document.

The NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) Clearance is the Philippine national police clearance certificate — the equivalent of Singapore's Certificate of Clearance. ICA regularly requests NBI clearance for PR applications and citizenship applications by Filipino nationals. The document is issued with an NBI barcode reference, validity period (typically one year), and the applicant's biometric details.

call2translate provides certified English translations of NBI clearance certificates that accurately render all fields including the NBI office name, reference number, date of issue, and validity. Our translations are accepted by ICA, MOM and all Singapore courts.

Filipino professionals applying for a Singapore Employment Pass (EP) through MOM may need their Philippine university degree certificates and academic transcripts translated into English. While many Philippine universities issue degrees in English, some regional universities issue them partly or entirely in Filipino. MOM may also require certification even for English-language degrees from certain institutions.

We translate academic documents from all major Philippine universities — University of the Philippines (UP), De La Salle University, Ateneo de Manila, University of Santo Tomas, Mapua, FEU, and all provincial and state universities. We are familiar with the CHED (Commission on Higher Education) credential format and grading conventions.

We translate all other Philippine government documents required by Singapore authorities — including driving licences (LTO format) for LTA conversion, PSA death certificates, CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage Record) for ROM registration, DTI and SEC company registration documents for MOM and ACRA-related purposes, and Barangay clearance certificates.
