Dala ka na rin ng extra ID para iiwan sa reception counter sa baba. Pagkakuha mo ng queue number, fill up ka kaagad ng form.
I suggest kung kaya mo din lang pumunta dun ng maaga, punta ka na rin before 8:30am. Bago mag 9am, tapos ka na. Wala naman kasi pila dun tsaka mabilis lang ang proseso. 3weeks din kasi bago marelease ung certificate so baka end of February mo pa makukuha. Close sila pag holiday so check mo na rin kung ok ka punta ng January30.
