Blank or Missing Middle Name In Your Birth Certificate? Here's How To Process

Our middle name is equally important as with our given name and surname. It is a part of our identity and so much needed when filling-up legal or official documents. Government and private transactions like banking transactions or applying for an identification card (ID) require us to provide our complete names. But there are times that we are shocked to find out that our middle name is blank or missing on our birth certificate. So, here's what to do to have a middle name on your birth certificate, thanks to Philippine Statistics Office (PSA).
