To get a digitally signed PSA birth certificate , apply through the PSA’s online e-Certificate service and choose the birth certificate option. The digital copy is sent securely, and PSAHelpline says it is signed with Adobe Approved Trust List so recipients can verify it online.

How it works

  1. Fill out the online application with the birth certificate details.
  1. Pay through the supported online payment channels.
  1. Upload a valid government ID and complete the selfie/liveness check for identity verification.
  1. Receive the digital certificate and download it from the secure access link.

Verification

The PSA advisory says digital documents can be verified by scanning the QR code on the cover page or by entering the reference number and authorization code in the official verification portal.

Important notes

  • This is the official route for a digital PSA birth certificate, not a simple screenshot or scanned paper copy.
  • The process requires identity verification, so make sure the ID details match your application.
  • If you need a standard PSA birth certificate for walk-in processing, PSA also has a separate birth certificate service page.
