Have you experienced spending the entire day falling in a long queue of the National Statistics Office just to get your birth certificate or other related documents?  I have.

I remember a few years ago, I needed to get a copy of my birth certificate because it is one of the requirements for applying a passport.  I had to go to our city hall and fall in line outside the NSO as early as 7am because I wanted finish the whole transaction within the same day.  Can you believe that even before the NSO office opens at 8am, there are already a lot of people waiting in line, just like me, in order to get their NSO documents?  Yes, its true!  We had to spend a day, which must be a weekday (because NSO is closed on weekends), just so we can get our much needed document/s.  Imagine those people who needed to be in their offices during weekdays because they had to work but they were forced to take a leave so they can request for an NSO certificate.  It was very inconvenient, exhausting, and a total waste of time.  To be honest, it was horrible!

Say goodbye to spending an entire day falling in line the NSO to get your documents!  Now, you'll be able to request for birth certificate, marriage certificate, death certificate, and/or CENOMAR in just a few clicks.  All you have to do is visit www.nsohelpline.com to order, pay, or track your requested NSO certificate.  You can do this even when you're on mobile while being stuck in traffic jam brought about by the coming Christmas season or while waiting at the salon to get your hair colored. It enables mommies like me to multi-task and get more things done in less time.  Isn't that very convenient?

To be honest, I am not a techie type of person.  I hate having to deal with complicated gadgets which people would jokingly refer to as "nangangain ng tanga."  I easily get frustrated by hard-to-figure-out operating system, so basically, I would appreciate it a lot if a website is easy to navigate. I am glad that NSOHelpline's step by step procedure for requesting an NSO certificate is simple enough for everyone to understand making the application procedure nearly goof-proof.
