believe that applicant is not a former natural-born Filipino. Upon
evaluation, the Consul or Vice Consul will prepare his/her recommendation

of Approval and the corresponding Identification Certificate. If the
documents submitted are not enough to establish that applicant is a former
citizen, the applicant will be informed in writing by the Embassy.

take an Oath of Allegiance before the Consul General or a duly
commissioned Foreign Service Officer (FSO).
Step 9:

copies of the Order of Approval and the Oath of Allegiance and the
Identification Certificate. These will also be forwarded to the DFA Home
Office for transmittal to BI. Upon receipt, the BI Records Section will send
copies of these documents to the National Statistics Office (NSO). There
is another fee of 100 AED for the Oath of Allegiance.
