I was gathering the documents I'll be needing for the Visa Application when I noticed that all the certificates (birth and marriage) I have on file are more than a year old already. The documents should be less than 6 months old.
So, on a Tuesday, when my car had only 2 hours left on the road, I trooped to the Main Office of NSO. If I remember correctly, filing for the request was just a breeze. It was the releasing of the document that took a lot of time.
It seems that I remembered correctly. It took me less than 10 mins to fill up and pay for the 4 requests. It took me longer to locate a parking space near the office. I had to go around East Ave twice.
I was asked to come back at 3:30, 2 hours after I filed the request. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait because my car should no longer be on the streets by 3PM.
I came back early Thursday morning. This time, I left my car at the Techno Hub and asked Vic to drop me off on his way to work. With my receipts in hand, I was directed to a window with no queue. Got all the documents in less than 5 mins! Ganda!
All-in-all, it took me less than hour to get the NSO documents. It was much faster than waiting it out in one day.
How I wish all other government agencies were as quick and efficient.
