SUPPORTING PAPERS FOR CORRECTION OF CLERICAL OR
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR
The petition shall not be processed unless the petitioner supports it with the
required documents. The supporting documents should be authentic and
genuine, otherwise, the petition shall be denied or disapproved pursuant to Rule
5.8 of Administrative Order No. 1, S. 2001. The following supporting
documents are admissible as basic requirement.
2. Not less than 2 public or private documents upon which the correction shall
be based
Section 5(2) of RA 9048 and Rule 8.1.2. of AO No. 1, s. 2001 require the
submission of at least 2 public or private documents showing the correct entry
or entries upon which the correction or change shall be based. This is a
minimum number, hence, the petitioner can submit as many public or private
documents to support his petition. Examples of these documents are the
following:
1. All documents, which are required to be submitted by the petitioner for the correction of clerical error,
shall be submitted also by the petitioner for change of first name.
Therefore, a petitioner fro change of first name shall be required to submit clearances from the following
authorities:
In a case where the petition is filed on behalf of another person, the clearances to be submitted shall not
be for the petitioner but for the person being represented by the petitioner. If the person represented is a
minor aged less than 15, such clearances shall be complied with only if required by the C/MCR.
What much do I need to pay for correction of clerical error and/or change of name?
FEES
The C/MCR and the D/CR are authorized to collect from every petitioner the following rates of filing
fees:
1. One thousand pesos (P1, 000.00) for the correction of clerical error
2. Three thousand pesos (P3, 000.00) for the change of first name
The amount of filing fee is uniform for all LCROs and Shari'a Courts. The reason for this is for one
C/MCR to know how much will be collect for the other C/MCR in the case of a migrant petitioner. If the
fee is not uniform, the PRCR may not be able to know how much he will collect for the RKCR.
