Applicants who are below eighteen (18) years old should get a Special Study Permit (SSP) from the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation, an agency of the Department of Justice of the Republic of the Philippines. Applicants who are on audit status (non-credit/ non-degree seeking program/ special student) are also required to acquire an SSP from the Bureau.

All sworn statement or affidavits must be duly notarized.
Documents executed outside of the Philippines must be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy or Consulate official of the Philippine Foreign Service at the place of issuance or nearest to it, with English translation, if written in other foreign language. Any document executed within the Philippines must be duly certified by the offices having official custody of the originals.
All documents required for submission must be arranged in the order as listed hereunder; otherwise your application or petition cannot be processed immediately.
