What is an Affidavit of Two Disinterested Persons?

An Affidavit of Two Disinterested Persons is a sworn statement by two people who have personal knowledge of certain facts about you (for example, your birth, identity, or civil status) but have no financial or personal interest in the outcome.

It is commonly used to support government or private transactions when primary documents are missing or inconsistent.

An affidavit of two disinterested persons is used in government agencies or offices. Common use cases include:

• Late registration of birth at the Local Civil Registry (LCR) or PSA requests
• Correction of entries (e.g., misspelled name, wrong birth date/place)
• School records validation (Form 137, diploma discrepancies)
• SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG updates
