Starting June 1, PHL consulate in UAE to accept only typed forms

Starting June 1, the Philippine consulate in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates will accept only typed application forms for various documents.

Philippine officials said the move aims to minimize mistakes in processing various documents, UAE news site Khaleej Times reported Wednesday.

Vice-consul Geronimo Suliguin said applicants can download and fill out the forms online, and have their entries typed in typing centers before submitting the documents to the three processors at the Philippine Consulate.

“When we launched the online application form, it achieved at least 30 percent ... reduction in wrong entries or reports. Now, we want to have 100 percent error-free reporting,” Suliguin said.

Also, he said the forms are available on the old Philippine Consulate website www.pcgdubai.net.

The forms may be available at the new website, www.dubaipcg.dfa.gov.ph, by end of June, he added.

“Clarity and error-free reports depend on how neatly the forms are filled [out]. Many are written in such a way that it becomes difficult to read them. The forms submitted to us are forwarded to the National Statistics Office (NSO) as it is,” he added.

The report said the new policy will apply to birth, marriage, and death certificates for overseas Filipino workers and their families in Dubai and Northern Emirates.  Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
