Republic Act 11909, also known as "Permanent Validity of the Certificates of Live Birth, Death and Marriage Act" became law last July 28, which means the certificates of live birth, death and marriage issued, signed, certified or authenticated by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), or even those released by the local civil registries, shall now have permanent validity regardless of their date of issuance.
