AAP AND AUSF

Under Republic Act No. 9255, “An Act Allowing Illegitimate Children to Use the Surname of the Father, Amending the Family Code of the Philippines,” an illegitimate child may use the surname of the father if acknowledged at the back of the Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) or acknowledged in a separate public document (the Affidavit of Admission of Paternity or AAP) or in a private handwritten instrument (PHI). The law allows the child to use the father’s surname but does not change the status of the child from illegitimate to legitimate.

The Affidavit to Use the Surname of the Father (AUSF) is executed by the mother or the guardian of the child that allows the use of the surname of the father. The AUSF must be executed by:

  • The mother, or guardian, in the absence of the mother, if the child is below seven years of age;
  • The child if aged between 7 to 17 and attested by the mother or guardian, in the absence of the mother, or;
  • The person himself/herself if already of age or without the attestation of the mother, or guardian.

Private Handwritten Instrument (PHI) is an instrument in the handwriting of the father and duly signed by him where he expressly recognizes the paternity of the child during his lifetime.

Guidelines on the Place of Registration: 

  • If the birth happened in the Philippines, and the father of the child resides abroad, the AAP or PHI shall be registered at the Philippine Embassy or Philippine Consulate General of the country of residence of the father, or where there is none, to the Philippine Embassy or Philippine Consulate General nearest the place of residence of the father.
  • If the father of the child is in the Philippines but the birth occurred outside the Philippines, the AAP or PHI shall be registered at the Local Civil Registry Office of the place of execution of the document.

The submission of the AAP or AUSF to the Philippine Embassy in Singapore is strictly by appointment only. Please send an email to civilregistry.sgpe@gmail.com to secure an appointment.

Documentary Requirements for the Submission of the AAP: 

  • Duly accomplished AAP form (https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/AAP-V2-2020-23-11.pdf)
  • Five photocopies of the birth certificate of the child issued by the LCR
  • Five photocopies of the father’s passport. Bring the current passport for sighting.
  • Five photocopies of the passport and the birth certificate of the mother
  • Other supporting documents (5 photocopies), as deemed necessary by the civil registration officer
  • Consular fee of S$85.00  (SGD42.50 for the AAP and SGD42.50 for the Certificate of Registration), to be paid in cash or PayNow (PayNow subject to convenience fee).
