About the Authorization Letter

The Authorization Letter lets the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) release copies of your civil registry certificates to the Embassy of Japan so it can verify the ones you submit. The embassy publishes the letter as a one-page form; you only write your name, sign and date it. This file explains each part of the text and shows a completed example.

How to use the file

  1. Download the official Authorization Letter from the embassy page and print it on A4.
  2. Write your full name in the blank after "I," exactly as in the passport.
  3. Sign on the "Signature of Applicant" line and write the date.
  4. Submit it with your PSA birth and marriage certificates.

Common mistakes

  • A name that does not match the passport.
  • Forgetting the date.
