Where to File the Applications for CSE-PR

1. The properly accomplished CSE-PR Application Form, together with the pictures, and other documentary requirements, must be submitted to the CSC RO concerned, or to any of its CSC Field Offices (CSC FOs), which has jurisdiction over any of the government agencies where the JOCOSC6 is/was assigned or stationed.
2. The date of the actual receipt/acknowledgement by the CSC of the CSE-PR application and supporting documents, regardless of the mode of filing of the application, shall be considered as the date of the official receipt thereof.

Modes of Filing of Application for CSE-PR

A. By the Applicant in Person;

This mode of filing an application involves the applicant himself/herself going to the CSC RO concerned, or to any of its FOs, to personally submit his/her application and documentary requirements. This is the most recommended mode of application filing, as this will allow interview of the applicant as to his/her qualifications and other circumstances relevant to his/her application for eligibility grant.

B. Through Representative;

This mode involves a representative of the applicant going to the CSC RO concerned, or to any of its FOs, to submit the application and documentary requirements.

Filing of application through a representative shall require the submission of the following additional documents:

– Authorization Letter executed by the applicant; and

– Original and photocopy of at least one (1) valid I.D. card of the representative.

Note: While filing of application may be coursed through a representative, the applicant shall be required to appear personally before the CSC RO for the proper issuance and acceptance of the Certificate of Eligibility (COE), should the application be approved. Representative/s shall not be allowed to receive the COE on behalf of the applicant-grantee.

C. Through Conduit CSC Regional Office (RO); and

This mode involves applicants who have moved to or are presently based in another region that is far-off from the authorized CSC RO having jurisdiction over their cases.

In this instance, an applicant concerned, or his/her representative, may file the application to the CSC RO nearest the applicant’s present place of residence or work. Said CSC RO shall act as conduit between the applicant and the authorized CSC RO in facilitating acceptance of the application, and release of the corresponding COE should the application for eligibility grant be approved.

This mode of application filing takes time, considering that communications between the conduit CSC RO and the authorized CSC RO are dispatched at least via registered mail.

D. Through Mail.

This mode involves the applicant sending his/her application and documentary requirements (including originals) to the CSC RO concerned through either registered mail, or courier. This mode takes time in view of anticipated exchange of communications. Delays and lost of documents through the negligence of the courier is beyond the control of the CSC RO concerned.
