Hello fellow Filipinos,
I'm hoping you can give me insights about my dilemma. I'm a bit concerned with my application and I'm hoping you can give me some insights before I consult a professional. Just so I can sleep. Earlier this afternoon, I received a letter from CPC-Mississauga with a checklist of documents that my parents need to provide. Passports, birth certs, marriage certs, etc.
The problem: My mother's name has a discrepancy in her first name on her birth cert. One letter in her first name shows "A" instead of an "E". To illustrate (this is not my mother's real name), but to show my point:
Birth cert: Mery
Marriage cert: Mary
Children's birth certs: Mary
What's on my documents when I went here: Mary
We've been trying to have this fixed but because of geographical reasons (they now reside in Tarlac and the local civil registry where she was born is in Davao), it's still not resolved at the moment (legal process, still pending the Judge's review). BUT...
I only have 90 days to provide the documents.
I was thinking of having her secure an authenticated birth cert and apply for a Passport using "Mery", and then sign an affidavit saying that Mery and Mary is one and the same person. Is this acceptable?
If I'm not clear with my explanations, please feel free to ask for clarification.
Thanks in advance for your help!
