Right to Inheritance: An illegitimate child has the right to inherit from his or her parents, but the share is typically half of what a legitimate child would receive. If the father dies without a will, the illegitimate child inherits a portion of his estate, provided that the father recognized the child as his own.

The father, mother, or the child himself (if already of legal age) may file the Affidavit of Admission of Paternity and Affidavit to Use the Surname of the Father (AUSF) at the Local Civil Registry Office where the child's birth certificate was registered.

Legitimation is a remedy by means of which those who in fact were not born in wedlock and should, therefore, be considered legitimate, it being supposed that they were born when their parents were already married. Legitimation takes place by the subsequent valid marriage of the parents of the child.

The birth of a Filipino should be reported to and registered with the Philippine Statistics Authority through the Embassy/Consulate General having jurisdiction over the locality where the event took place. Please check the Consulate Finder for the states/territories covered by the Embassy/Consulates General in the U.S.

Filing fee: PHP 1,000.00. Other documents that may be required by the LCR.
