How can I tell if I have NSO original or copy birth cert

[johncar54]

I need an original Philippines birth certificate.

I have several certificates, different colours, but they all look like copies.

How can I distinguish an original from a copy, impressed stamp, water marked paper etc. embossed printing ?

Thanks, John

NSO paper would be mixed of yellow & green colours. There will be no watermak or embosed stamp, etc. but it will have an NSO stamp on top left of the paper and bar code at the bottom left. Please see sample photo below. If you don't have that, maybe you can order here: https://www.ecensus.com.ph/default.aspx

Many thanks but the problem is, I have several colour copies, so cannot tell if they are copies which I have made from a scan or originals !!!
